Faceless assessment of import declarations enables designated customs officers to act as proper officers for remote clearance. Notification appoints designated customs officers nationwide as proper officers for faceless or remote assessment of electronically presented bills of entry assigned via the Customs Automated System, allocating assessment and pre-clearance functions to Superintendents/Appraisers and Deputy/Assistant Commissioners under the Customs Act, with a later amendment adding a pre-clearance function and a recorded supersession by a subsequent notification.
