Subject: Issues related to transmission of trade data

A Committee under the chairmanship of DG NIC with representatives of Department of Commerce and Department of Revenue had been constituted to consider the issues of timely and accurate transmission of trade data and give its recommendations.

2. The Committee in its report has recommended that in order to ensure data coverage, completeness and timely submission of trade data Commissionerate at Customs station should be directed to certify and inform DGCIS on monthly basis that all trade data has been sent to them.

3. Accordingly Board has decided that All Chief Commissioners of Customs having jurisdiction over non- EDI locations should ensure that complete trade data in the form of DTR on monthly basis is sent in time to DGCIS. The Commissionerate should also certify and inform DGCIS that all trade data for the period has been sent to them. Similar exercise should be undertaken in case of EDI enabled Customs stations where manual clearances have been affected.

4. Suitable instructions may be issued to all concerned officers for strict compliance of aforementioned instructions.

Yours faithfully,

(A.K.Goel)
