Revising commercial invoice/bill of entry

719 views 2 replies

I don't know if this is the right forum, but I need some help. My company sent a UPS international shipment to India (I'm from the US) earlier this month and the customer received his goods. However, he's telling me that his bill of entry is incorrect, causing a banking issue. More specifically, the value of his goods on the original bill of entry are incorrect. I'd like to deal with the issue, but I don't know how. I'm not familiar with a bill of entry. I had to search the term on Google. The only documents required when I ship internationally in the US are the commercial invoice. I'm sure some of you had to deal with bill of entry issues. What do I do? I'll contact UPS and check the process of revising a commercial invoice, but I don't know if I'm allowed at this point (considering it's already delivered) or even if the bill of entry will be updated for my customer. I looked through the bill of entry that my customer sent and saw no contact information on it. Any help?

bill of entry is document we have to file in India to get our goods cleared from custom department....
any mismatch in commercial invoice and bill of entry filed by importer could cause serious problems...... Bank hesitate in clearing letter of credit or releasing payment..
the customer can file a revised bill of entry in India in good faith.. there should not be any malafied intentions

The Bill of Entry can be revised requesting to the concerned Customs authorities giving the fact of the case but,the Customs may charge some fees and penalty for revision.The Customs may take aview that you have misdeclare the value of the goods and take serious action.So it is advisable to conatct such Clearing House Agent(CHA) who has good knowledge and contact with the Cusoms.
