....oard's Circular No. 37/2017-Customs dated 20.09.2017) read with Trade Facilitation Circular No. 01/2017 dated 06.09.2017 on the above issued in light of the CBEC's Circulars 26/2017-Cus dated 01.07.2017 and Circular 36/2017 dated 28.08.2017. 2. Further attention of the Members of the Trade is invited to Boards Circular No. 41/2017-Customs dated 30.10.2017 issued from F.No.450/08/2015-CUs. IV on the above subject. 3. With the introduction of self-sealing using RFID e-seals, the Board has sought to enhance export facilitation by dispensing the need for exporters seeking the presence of jurisdictional officer for the purposes of supervising stuffing of the cargo at approved premises. This measure is expected to reduce transaction costs of exporters since they do not have to incur MoT charges in respect of such supervision as well as improve their timeliness of their exports. Such facilitation is proposed to be backed by application of technology in the form of exporters using RFID e-seals since it has the potential to improve visibility and enhance cargo security during transportation to Ports & ICDs as vel1 as during holding time. 4. Attention is drawn to para 5 of circular ....

....ls, prescribed under circular 36/2017- Customs dated 28th August 2017, it shall be deemed to be equivalent to a container sealed under the erstwhile system of officer supervised sealing. Unless and until there are good reasons or intelligence to warrant inspection of such containers, there shall be no need for examination of such containers once the RFID e-seal is read as intact or not tampered. 7.1 In case an RFID seal affixed on a self-sealed container is found tampered, the same shall be subject to examination as already prescribed under para 2(f) of Circular 36/2017-Cus dated 28th August 2017. However, after examination, the further movement of such a container shall not be under the RFID e-seal procedure. The existing system of using the traditional bottle seals by customs shall continue for such movements. 7.2 Full containers brought to Ports without RFID e-seals shall be taken to a CFS or allowed direct port entry, as the case may be, and will be subject to usual RMS treatment. Similarly, Full Containers Loads arriving at ICDs, but without RFID e-seals, will be subject to usual risk management parameters. 7.3 The procedure under the subject circulars does not apply ....

....ided only when the vendor makes the first sale to the exporter; there is no need transmit the details of the exporter each time a sale is made. 8.5 The vendors shall make all efforts to serve the requirements of maximum number of exporters by providing the RFID e-seals. They shall also provide Readers to all the customs stations from where the client exporters are exporting their cargo. The department reserves its right to direct vendors to provide Readers at any particular port/ICD. 9. The list of stations where Readers have been provided by Vendors is annexed to this circular. As and when coverage is extended by vendors to more customs stations, they shall be included in the list of Ports / ICDs where e-sealing would be mandatory. While for the benefit of the trade, Board shall update the list of Customs stations from time to time, field formations are advised to issue trade notices regarding availability of Readers as soon as these are available at their Port/ICD. 10. While the progress made in the coverage of reader network across ports and ICDs is well recognised, but factoring that it may take some time for the field formations to fully set up systems and procedures ....
