Single Window Project - Implementation of Risk based selectivity criteria for clearance of consignments related to Participating Government Agencies

MANU/CUST/0072/2016

Under the Single Window, upon filing of the Integrated Declaration, the Bill of Entry is automatically referred to concerned agency(ies) for a No Objection Certificate(NOC). The system allows the simultaneous processing of Bills of Entry by PGAs and Customs. In consultation with the PGAs, risk-based selectivity criteria are being introduced into the Risk Management System(RMS), whereby consignments will be referred to PGA(s) for NOC based on risk. Thus, for low-risk consignments, the required NOC by the PGA will be waived. For such consignments, the system will prompt on the relevant screen and print on the Bill of Entry that " < Agency> NOC for this consignment has been waived". For these facilitated consignments, Customs officers should not refer manually to PGAs for NOC. However in exceptional cases where there are valid reasons for referring such cases to PGAs for NOC, the same shall be done with the approval of the concerned Assistant /Deputy Commissioner.
