Articles 12th Feb 2025
The Finance Bill 2025 has proposed insertion of Section 18A under the Customs Act for introducing a self-revision mechanism for businesses to unilaterally amend Bills of Entry or Shipping Bills post clearances.
In this regard, our Partner, Tejus Pathak, and Principal Associate, Akanksha Dikshit, have authored an article titled “Self-Revision Mechanism Post Clearances: A Transformative Shift under Customs”, published on Taxsutra.
The article delves into the existing challenges faced by importers and exporters in revising documents after clearance and examines the potential benefits the self-revision mechanism may offer. This reform is expected to streamline classification disputes, address post-import price adjustments, facilitate GST credits, improve FEMA compliance, and enable corrections of FTP license details and clerical errors. Its success, however, will depend on clear implementation guidelines, reasonable timelines, and integration with connected regulatory platforms like GSTIN, DGFT and IDPMS / EDPMS.
