Directorate of Reforms and Automation (R&A) has developed and launched a new module for processing and clearance of vehicles under Web Based One Customs (WeBOC) with effect from 01st September, 2014. This is an important and new procedure introduced for processing the import declarations of vehicles under automated system. It entirely revolves around self assessment of duty / taxes or other charges by the importers/clearing agents. Concerted efforts are needed on the part of all stakeholders i.e. importers/clearing agents, assessing and examining officials for making it a success. For smooth flow of the processes, following is suggested to be done by the importers/clearing agents so that GDs are processed expeditiously and without wastage of time:
