Dear Sir,
We have imported a cosignment whose amount in invoice indicates currency as Yuan. However Fedex has cleared the subject consignment with BOE made in INR currency. This has lead to payment of reduced amount of taxes and the consignment has finally cleared.
However we would like to get the BOE corrected to Yuan and are willing to pay the extra taxes due. However FedEx is refusing to correct the BOE stating that it cannot be done. Please suggest the way out.
The Bill of Entry can be corrected.
REQUEST TO CANCELLED THE SAME AND FILED ANOTHER BOE.
Once Consignement is cleared the Bill of Entry can be amended but can not be cancelled
Please suggest, we have import goods through FedEx from China. Payment made to our china client.Client give the shipment to there courier agent. FedEx file BOE on the name of courier agent. Now Indian bank reject BRC.
Bill of entry corrections in India depend on which stage the BoE is at when you discover the error.
Before customs assessment, your CHA can file a correction request directly on ICEGATE. This is the easiest stage to fix errors like HS code, value, quantity, or importer details before the assessment order is passed.
After assessment but before out-of-charge, a written amendment request must be submitted to the concerned customs officer with supporting documents justifying the correction.
After out-of-charge, this falls under Section 149 of the Customs Act. You need to apply for amendment with documentary evidence that the correct information existed at the time of filing. Customs may levy differential duty plus interest if the error caused underpayment.
Common corrections importers face:
Never try to adjust errors in the next shipment's BoE. Each BoE must be independently accurate for GST ITC and customs audit purposes.
