Customs:
The CBIC has issued circular to roll out Automated Out of Charge (OOC) for AEO-Tier 2 (T2) and Tier 3 (T3) clients to streamline customs clearance. Automated OOC will apply to Bills of Entry (BEs) that:
- Are not selected for examination/scanning or require any PGA NoC.
- Have completed assessment.
- Have completed OTP authentication for duty deferment.
However, Customs officers retain the ability to place manual holds based on specific intelligence.
