EDI shipping data to be exchanged digitally by Customs and DGFT

摘要

The Government of India has decided that data relating to EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) shipping bills for Duty Entitlement Passbook Scheme, issued on or after October 1, 2005, from the 23 Customs-EDI Ports shall be exchanged between Customs and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) Server on a digital platform. Accordingly, the application procedure and verification/registration system for DEPB licences, which are based on EDI DEPB Shipping bills issued on or after October 1, 2005, have been clarified and made simpler by the Department of Commerce through a recent circular.
