Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
The procedure for filing and processing Bill of Entry amendment requests is governed by Section 149 of the Customs Act, 1962. Importers/Customs Brokers can file online amendments through the Common Portal or Service Centre. Amendments fall into two categories: self/auto approval and approval by the officer. Various scenarios dictate the approval process based on when the amendment is filed. Requests are categorized into three types: IGM amendments, typographical errors, and major amendments. Conversion of bill of entry types requires approval from Additional/Joint Commissioner. Amendments after Out of Charge require manual OOC cancellation. Pre-approval of physical/e-office file amendments is discontinued. Amendments are not allowed until examination report completion. All necessary documents must be uploaded in e-Sanchit for verification. Importers/Customs Brokers can directly file online amendments and officers must approve or reject based on Customs Act provisions.
