FAQ :
The CBIC has introduced a new facility that allows accredited importers to move, store, and clear imported goods directly at their authorised premises, rather than at ports.
This facility is exclusively available to importers classified under the upper tiers (Tier II and III) of the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) scheme.
Eligible importers can benefit from reduced paperwork, enhanced supply chain efficiency, greater operational flexibility, and their private storage facilities are treated as an extension of the port.
Yes, goods flagged for scanning or those with suspicious findings will not be eligible for this facility.
This initiative aligns with the government's vision of a 'trust first, scrutinise later' approach to trade facilitation and improving the ease of doing business.
Some experts caution that restricting the facility to higher-tier AEO importers may create market disparity, potentially disadvantaging smaller businesses.
