Customs:
The CBIC has extended the use of ICETABs (Inspection and Clearance Electronic Tablets) to export examination and clearance processes, effective from 19th June 2025, following its successful implementation in import examinations.
ICETABs will allow examining officers to digitally access the Shipping Bill, examination orders, RMS instructions, and supporting documents, eliminating the need for paper-based documentation. Officers can also upload examination reports and four cargo images directly to the system. These will be stored in the e-sanchit repository for reference.
A detailed advisory will be issued by DG Systems. In exceptional cases where digital reporting is not possible, alternate procedures will be provided. This initiative aims to improve speed, transparency, and efficiency in export clearance operations.
