Kind reference is invited to various Board Circulars vide which facility of 24×7 Customs clearance has been provided at designated Sea ports & Airports across the country.
2. Due to ongoing shutdown in China on account of Coronavirus outbreak. there is an apprehension of disruption in supply of raw materials/ inputs to our Industrial units which were dependent on these raw materials. There could also be a dip in offtake in exports to China. On the contrary. there is a strong likelihood of on immediate surge in the imports
from and export to China once the spread of the virus is brought fully under control.
3. To handle such emergent situations, necessary steps need to be taken in advance. CBIC has, therefore, decided to introduce 24 x 7 clearance at all the Custom formations. so as to address any congestion or delay or surge on account of the prevailing conditions or cessation thereof. These instructions would remain in operation till end of May) 2020 by
which time the disruptions in the supply chains are expected to have settled. CRCL labs would also function 24×7 so that test results could be mode available at the earliest. However, designated Sea Ports/ Air ports already under 24×7 operation shall continue to function so even ruler May, 2020.
4. Chief Commissioners are therefore requested to immediately workout the arrangement end deployment or sufficient number of officers on 24×7 basis at sea ports / Air Cargo Stations / ICDs/CFSs etc falling in their jurisdiction to tackle any incipient instance of congestion / surge. A record may be maintained of the BEs/SBs tiled beyond the normal office hours, station wise, and reported to Board daily at vineetasinha.irs@gov.in.
5. Suitable: Public Notice/Standing Order may be issued.
