To streamline trade processes and promote self-compliance,
the Finance Bill 2025 introduced Section 18A to the Customs Act, 1962,
enabling voluntary post-clearance revision of customs entries. This move was
aimed at addressing frequent classification, valuation, and claim errors
detected after clearance that previously required manual intervention,
appeals, or led to show cause notices and disputes. |
|
Pursuant to this, the Customs (Voluntary Revision of
Entries Post Clearance) Regulations, 2025, have been notified via
Notification No. 70/2025-Customs (N.T.) dated 30 October 2025, effective 1
November 2025. The framework introduces a structured, electronic, and
time-bound mechanism allowing importers/exporters to revise entries
voluntarily in Bills of Entry or Shipping Bills, thereby enhancing
transparency and consistency in compliance. |
|
Looking ahead, this development marks a major shift toward
voluntary compliance, enabling businesses to self-correct genuine
post-clearance errors without penal consequences. Companies are advised to
align internal procedures for recordkeeping, classification, and refund
documentation to leverage the benefits of Section 18A. This initiative is
expected to reduce litigation, improve working capital efficiency, and
further India’s Ease of Doing Business and Trade Facilitation goals. |
