Custom duty Payment

This discussion addresses a common query regarding discrepancies between the custom duty and IGST amounts shown on a Bill of Entry and the actual payment made via ICEGATE challans. The difference often arises due to interest charged for delayed payment of duty. Duty is typically required to be paid within 24 hours of assessment or on the same day as the Bill of Entry date, with interest accruing for any delays. The detailed breakdown of these charges can be found on the ICEGATE website under the 'BE status' column.
