New Delhi: As part of its efforts to provide paperless and faceless administration, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has launched a new process that eliminates the need for exporters to approach customs officials with proof of export for each consignment.
CBIC Chairman Ajit Kumar on Monday unveiled a Secure QR coded Shipping Bill that would be electronically sent to exporters after the Customs allows export. This eliminates in one stroke the requirement of the exporters having to approach the Customs officers for proof of export.
The changes also makes the end-to-end customs export process fully electronic, from the filing of the Shipping Bill to the final order to allow export.
The new initiative is yet another step taken by CBIC for fulfilling its commitment to a Faceless, Paperless, and Contactless Customs under the umbrella of its "Turant Customs" programme. (IANS)
