Two new tables have been inserted in GSTR-2A for displaying details of import of goods from overseas and inward supplies made from SEZ units / SEZ developers. Taxpayers can now view their bill of entries data which is received by the GST System (GSTN) from ICEGATE System (Customs). The present data upload has been done on a trial basis to give a feel of the functionality and to get feedback from the taxpayers on the same.

Currently, the system is displaying data up to 6th August, 2020. Further, taxpayers may note that system is currently does not contain import information for bill of entries filed at non-computerized ports (non-EDI ports) and imports made through courier services/post office. This will be made available shortly.

It may also be noted that amendment information made in the details of bill of entries will also be provided soon.

Taxpayers are requested that they share their feedback through raising a ticket on the self-service portal (https://selfservice.gstsystem.in/)

Import data visibility in GST returns now shows bill of entry details from customs, with exclusions and a feedback mechanism. GSTR-2A now displays import and SEZ inward-supply bill of entry details sourced from the ICEGATE customs system via two new tables; the upload is a trial, currently excludes non-EDI port and courier/post imports, and amendment data for bill of entries will be provided in a later update, with taxpayers asked to submit feedback through the GST self-service portal.
