Importers and customs brokers are directed to strengthen compliance for faceless assessment by ensuring accurate self-assessment under section 17 of the Customs Act, 1962 through complete, legible uploading and correct e-Sanchit linking of all supporting documents with the Bill of Entry, including documents substantiating declared transaction value, tariff classification, end-use/manufacturer details relevant to anti-dumping duty, eligibility for exemption notifications, and mandatory licences/registrations (as applicable). Declarations must be clear and non-cryptic, UQC must align with the declared tariff heading, and replies to queries must be specific, exhaustive, and cross-referenced to uploaded document identifiers; reasons must be stated where provisional assessment under section 18 is sought. These measures reduce assessment queries and dwell time and expedite clearance.
