Commissioners Asked
to Streamline Assessments to Speed up Clearance

Board had decided to
implement system-generated centralized examination orders in a phased manner.
The Phase 1 referred to case of risk-based selection for examination after
assessment (second check examination). Initially, in Part 1 of this phase, the
goods under Assessment Group 4 in all Customs Stations were covered with effect
from 05.09.2022. Based on the feedback received, from the National Customs
Targeting Centre (NCTC), regarding the readiness for further rollout of the
implementation of Standard Examination Orders through the Risk Management
System, the Board has decided that in Part 2 of Phase 1, from 15.11.2022 the
goods under Assessment Group 5 (Chapter 84) shall also be covered.
[CBIC Circular No.23 /
2022-Customs dated 3 November 2022]
Subject:
Faceless Assessment - Anonymized Escalation Mechanism & extension of
Standard Examination Orders through RMS (Phase 1, Part 2).
The
attention of field formations is drawn to Board's Circular No.14/2021-Customs
dated 07.07.2021 in consequence of which an initial Anonymized Escalation Mechanism
(AEM) was introduced by the Directorate of Systems' ICEGATE Advisory dated
02.08.2022. The undersigned is directed to say that keeping in view that the
said AEM operates after IGM number with date is recorded in bill of entry (i.e.
after arrival of goods), the Board hereby sensitizes the Pr.Chief/Chief
Commissioners, in their roles as Zone and / or NAC heads, to the necessity of
their monitoring to ensuring that an aspect lodged in the said AEM is not
allowed to linger and that all successive actions are quickly taken without
loss of time no sooner the aspect has been lodged in said AEM. They should
devise whatever means are necessary for doing this. The Pr.Chief/Chief Commissioners should also keep note of
the root cause(s) that needed to be redressed and the administrative/systemic
actions to be adopted to achieve that redress, so that sustained improvements
are made towards expediting customs clearances.

Your attention is also drawn to Board's Circular No. 16/2022-Customs dated

harmonize the examination orders across FAGs, the Board had decided to
implement system-generated centralized examination orders in a phased manner.

Targeting Centre (NCTC), regarding the readiness for further rollout of the
implementation of Standard Examination Orders through the Risk Management
System, the Board has decided that in Part 2 of Phase 1, from 15.11.2022 the
