Subject: Additional Checks for CoO Declaration in Bill of Entry

Kind attention of all the Importers, Custom Brokers and all other stake holders is invited to CBIC Advisory No. 17/2021 dated 06.07.2021 issued by Directorate General of Systems, ICES on the above mentioned subject along with CBIC Notification No. 81/2020-Customs (N.T) dated 21.08.2020 regarding capturing additional details for Certificate of Origin (hereinafter referred as CoO) in the Bills of Entry as per Customs (Administration of Rules of Origin under Trade Agreements) Rules or CAROTAR, 2020. The mechanism enabled in System for implementing aforesaid Notification has been described in the ICES Advisory No. 34/2020 dated 17.09.2020. To claim preferential rate of duty under the specified trade agreements, the importer or her/his agent have been filing certain additional declarations as per the above rules at the time of filing of Bills of Entry.

2. In continuation now, as per the instructions of CBIC, a check has been put in the System to disallow the use of the same CoO number in more than one Bill of Entry. This has been done in respect of those FTAs/PTAs which specify that a CoO shall be valid only for one import or importing operation and may include one or more goods. Assessing/Examining officers are also advised to match the CoO numbers given in the BE vis-a-vis the submitted CoO copy to ensure that the CoO numbers have been declared correctly in the BE. The same CoO number can, however, be given for multiple items in the same Bill of Entry.

3. Above changes related will come into effect from 08.07.2021 in the System. Trade and other stakeholders are advised to refer to the above changes for filing the Bills of Entry w.e.f. 08.07.2021. 4. The Public Notice should be considered as Standing Order for the purpose of officers and staff of department.
