The "Into Bond" & "Ex Bond" procedures are not covered under E.D.I. The manual procedures [maintaining registers etc.] should be removed, and the bond debiting etc. should take place under ICEGATE and not under Customs local servers.

My recent experience with the customs for sending items to foreign country was pathetic. Even though you may have proper documentation it is not sure that items will pass the customs and reach destination. Mostly it landed in the custody though sending through DHL/ FedEx. It is always a risk but don't have any other option to collaborate with foreign nationals in business.

I believe technology can help a lot here. We need to go for high speed scanners / x rays. Also every importer / even a casual importer must receive an import code. Govt. agencies like the post office and any other government agency not being loaded with work can participate in early clearance of couriers and small parcels. Licensed vendors can be appointed who follow norms and who have the capability to clear shipments. Large shipments need the Govt. infrastructure.

THE SAME SVB ORDER ON REFUND OF EDD IS INTERPRETED DIFFERENTLY AT CHENNAI AND HYDERABAD. IN CHENNAI, THE REFUND WAS SANCTIONED WHILE IN HYDERABAD IT WAS REJECTED ON A FLIMSY GROUND THAT THE AMOUNT CLAIMED WAS BOOKED AS EXPENDITURE IN ACCOUNTS. THE SUPREME COURT CLEARLY RULED THAT UNJUST ENRICHMENT DOES NOT APPLY FOR REFUND OF EDD. CESTAT, BANGALORE CLERELY HELD THAT EDD IS NOT A DUTY. STILL THE OFFICERS AT AIR CARGO COMPLEX OF HYDERABAD CUSTOMS HAVE THE DARING HEART TO OVERLOOK SUPREME COURT.

I don't know now-a-days how they are recruit officer . Many of them not capable for the Customs job. They don't have skill, don't have presence of mind, don't have knowledge regarding their field . so please change the recruitment mode. Lots of Loop hole's in customs, many of importers damaging revenue in Brand name, so monitor every transaction is important. Try to Avoid direct dealing with agents. increase the transparency level to easy work. Customs server need to develop much more.

There are many loop holes in custom clearance process. Govt should make arrangement to make sure duty is charged on actual cost of product. To avoid duty evasion, cost of the product must be cross checked with data of exporting country, for which custom may ask for export clearance certificate of shipper, which the shipper shall provide to the importer, in which value at the time of export is declared. If duty is charged on mrp, is should be checked that mrp is not changed after import.
