to be communicated to Custom brokers/Exporters electronically - Clarfication.
— While continuing to promote Faceless, Contactless, Paperless Customs, the
C.B.I. & C. has decided to rely upon digital copies of the Shipping Bill and do
away with the requirement of taking bulky printouts from the Service Centre or
maintenance of voluminous physical dockets in the Custom Houses. This reform
will yield immense benefits in terms of saving the time and cost of compliance
for the trade, thereby enhancing the ease of doing business. It has been directed
that w.e.f. 22-6-2020 only the digital copy of the Shipping Bill bearing the Final
LEO would be electronically transmitted to the exporter and the present practice
of printing copies of the said document for the exporters and also for maintain-
ing a docket in the Customs House would stand discontinued. Salient features of
the secure electronic communication of the Final LEO copy of the Shipping Bill
and the Gatepass copy of Shipping Bill have been outlined by the C.B.I. & C. It
has been re-iterated that for the purposes of exports, all the supporting docu-
ments should mandatorily be uploaded in eSanchit and collection of physical
dockets shall be dispensed with. — M.F. (D.R.) Circular No. 30/2020-Cus., dated
