PUBLIC NOTICE NO.09/2020 Kind attention of Importers/Customs Brokers is brought to the Board Circular 11(A)/2011-Customs dated 25.02.2011 regarding execution of Common Bond for specified Export Promotion (EP) Schemes. Accordingly ICES 1.5 system has enabled the registration of Common Bond (NB) for this purpose and requested to register common Bond (NB). But, except few Importers, everyone had registered the bond for EP schemes as local bond with code DE, EC etc. 2. Since the Bond is registered as local bond, Importers had faced problem in debiting the bond while utilizing such licences at the port of clearance other than the license registration port. For debiting the bond, a letter was required to be forwarded from the clearance port to the license registration port for manual debiting of the Bond for the BE. After confirmation from the port of registration regarding bond debit, the clearance was being given for the said BE. 3. To expedite the clearance of goods and as a measure of improving ease of doing business, a facility has been enabled in the ICES at the Port of clearance itself to debit the bond with the combination of Bond Number registered at the time of licence registration and port of registration as normal bond debit in ICES. 4. Hence, it is informed that at the port of clearance, Importers/Customs Brokers are required to furnish the correct Bond Number and port of registration to the Bond officer concerned for debiting the licences. 5. This Public Notice should be considered as Standing Order for the purpose of officers and staff of JNCH. 6. If, any difficulty is faced, the same may be addressed to the Additional Commissioner of Customs (System Manager) in Email sysmgr.nsa1@icegate.gov.in or the Additional/Joint Commissioner of Customs, Gr.-V, JNCH.
