CHAPER 2: Industry Profile
Customs Clearance: Meaning and Process

International trade can be complex and time-consuming, but it is crucial for

businesses that import or export goods to understand one of the most critical
steps in the process: customs clearance. Customs clearance is the procedure you
must follow to legally import or export goods across international borders. The
process can be daunting, but this guide will help you navigate it more easily.

Whether you’re new to the world of international trade or need a refresher on

everything from customs regulations to country-specific requirements, this
guide will provide all the information you need to ensure successful customs
clearance.
WHAT IS CUSTOMS CLEARANCE?

Customs clearance is the process of declaring goods to Customs

authorities when entering or leaving a country. Individuals or
businesses can do this. Goods subject to customs clearance include
items that are being imported or exported, as well as personal effects
and commercial shipments.

The purpose of customs clearance is to ensure that all applicable

import duties and taxes are paid and that goods comply with all
relevant regulations. To clear customs, businesses or individuals must
provide detailed information about the shipment, including its value,
origin, destination, and contents.

Businesses or individuals may also be required to submit supporting

documentation, such as invoices or bills of lading. Once customs
officers have cleared the shipment, they can release it for delivery.
Overview Of Indian Customs:
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is responsible
for overseeing customs operations in India. It formulates policies,
enforces customs regulations, and collects customs duties. Customs
duties in India include basic customs duty, additional duties, and goods
and services tax (GST). Understanding these duties is essential for
importers and exporters to calculate the costs involved in their
transactions accurately.

Import Customs Clearance Procedures In India:

Import customs clearance procedures in India are a vital aspect of

international trade. Adhering to these procedures ensures compliance
with customs regulations and facilitates the smooth entry of goods into
the country. Let’s discuss them in depth.

1. Preparing Import Documents:

Importers need to gather essential documents such as the Bill of Entry,

Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Import License (if applicable).
These documents provide information about the imported goods, their
value, and compliance with regulations.

2. Submitting Documents To Customs:

Importers are required to submit the relevant import documents to the

customs authorities electronically or physically, depending on the
designated port or airport. This step initiates the customs clearance
process.

3. Assessment Of Customs Duties And Taxes:

Customs authorities assess the customs duties and taxes applicable to

the imported goods. This includes calculating the basic customs duty,
additional duties, and GST based on the declared value of the goods.
4. Physical Examination And Sampling:

In certain cases, customs authorities may conduct a physical

examination or sampling of the imported goods to verify their
compliance with regulations, quality, and quantity. This step ensures
adherence to the prescribed standards.

5. Payment Of Customs Duties And Taxes:

Importers are required to make the necessary payment of customs duties

and taxes based on the assessed value. Various payment methods, such
as online transfers or demand drafts, are available for completing the
payment process.

6. Obtaining Customs Release:

Once the customs duties and taxes are paid, importers can obtain the
customs release for their goods. This allows them to take possession of
the imported goods for further distribution or use.

7. Post-Clearance Procedures:

Importers should comply with any post-clearance requirements, such as

maintaining records, reporting to customs authorities, or fulfilling any
additional obligations based on the nature of the imported goods.
Export Customs Clearance Procedures In India:
Export customs clearance procedures are a crucial part of international
trade, ensuring compliance with customs regulations when shipping
goods out of a country. Following the procedure given below allows
exporters to meet regulatory requirements, facilitate the smooth export
of goods, and maintain the integrity of the customs process.

1. Preparing Export Documents:

Exporters need to prepare essential documents like the Shipping Bill,

Commercial Invoice, and Packing List. These documents provide details
about the exported goods, their value, and compliance with customs
regulations.

2. Filing The Shipping Bill:

Exporters must file the Shipping Bill, which contains information about
the goods being exported, their destination, and the mode of
transportation. This document serves as a declaration of the goods to
customs authorities.

3. Examination And Assessment:

Customs authorities examine the exported goods to ensure compliance

with regulations and verify their declared value. Based on the
examination and assessment, customs authorities determine the
eligibility for export incentives or benefits.

4. Payment Of Export Duties:

If applicable, exporters must pay any export duties or charges before

obtaining the Let Export Order. Export duties are levied on specific
goods or in certain circumstances, and exporters should be aware of
these obligations.
5. Obtaining The Let Export Order:

The Let Export Order is issued by customs authorities once all necessary
requirements and payments are fulfilled. It authorizes the export of the
goods from India to the designated destination.

6. Post-Clearance Procedures:

Exporters should comply with any post-clearance obligations, such as

maintaining records, reporting to customs authorities, or fulfilling any
additional requirements based on the nature of

the exported goods.
