The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has rolled out automated out of charge for Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) T2 and T3 Clients.
Sustained efforts by CBIC in simplifying trade procedures, enhancing transparency, and adopting best practices have enabled it to achieve steady improvements across various trade facilitation indicators. As part of a broader
initiative to enhance trade efficiency, improve compliance, and reduce the
administrative burden on businesses, CBIC has decided to roll out Automated Out of Charge in case of AEOs T2 and T3 where there is no requirement of compulsory compliance requirements (CCR)
verification.
In the first phase, the BEs of AEO- T2 &T3 clients, meeting the tree criteria will be eligible for Auto-OOC on web based goods registration.
Firstly, not selected for examination or scanning or for any PGA related NoC.
Secondly, assessment is complete.
Lastly, authentication of BE by way of OTP is complete for duty deferment.
The Auto-OOC wil be allowed on risk basis for the eligible BEs. However, ni case of any intelligence, the option for “HOLD” is provided in Customs Systems to over-ride the Auto-OOC by the concerned officer of customs.
The facility rolled out from 1st January of 2025 and will be another significant measure for facilitating genuine trade and reducing overall dwell time.
