FAQ :

These are new rules notified by the CBIC that outline the process for verifying the identity of importers, exporters, and customs brokers engaging in import or export activities.

The regulations apply to new importers, exporters, and customs brokers starting their activities after the commencement of these regulations. The Commissioner of Customs may also select existing persons for verification.

Required documents include incorporation documents, proof of authorised signatories, Permanent Account Number (PAN), GST Identification Number, and evidence of financial standing like bank statements or Income Tax Returns.

After document submission, individuals will undergo Aadhaar authentication and PAN verification on the Common Portal. A physical verification of the principal place of business may also be conducted.

Failure to comply or submitting incorrect information can lead to the suspension of benefits. In cases of non-compliance, a penalty of up to fifty thousand rupees may be imposed.

The outcome of the identity verification will be captured in the Customs Automated System and communicated to the verified person.
