Customs Act

Circular No.17/2021-Customs Dated 23rd July, 2021

CBIC noted that one key area which imposes compliance is the necessity of seeking periodic renewal of the licenses/registrations issued under the Customs Act. Therefore, CBIC has decided to abolish renewals of Licence/Registration in Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2021 and Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations, 2018.

It has been decided to provide lifetime validity of the licenses/registrations; to enable provision for making the licenses/registrations invalid in case the licensee/registration holder is inactive for the period exceeding 1 year at a time; to empower Principal Commissioner or Commissioner of Customs to renew a license/registration which has been invalidated due to inactivity; and to provide for voluntary surrender of license/registration.

However, it has been decided that above changes will be reviewed after six months (i.e. January 2022) by the Board for its impact and bring changes, if necessary.
