FAQ :

CBIC has launched an online module on the ICEGATE portal allowing importers to voluntarily revise their Bills of Entry after they have been cleared ('Out of Charge').

This post-clearance revision is possible under the newly introduced Section 18A of the Customs Act, 1962.

Importers can request amendments of records (Code 'A'), deletion of records (Code 'D'), and addition of records (Code 'S') to their Bills of Entry.

Requests are routed through the National Customs Targeting Centre's Risk Management System (RMS) for evaluation, which may lead to automatic approval or require officer assessment.

Any revision that leads to a refund claim will be compulsorily examined by a Customs officer to ensure revenue protection.

Importers facing issues can contact icegatehelpdesk@icegate.gov.in, and officers can reach out to saksham.seva@icegate.gov.in for technical support.
