The request has been examined. It has been decided that such exporters who do not wish to re-import as permitted vide Notification No. 57/2022-Cus (N.T.) and make a declaration to this effect in the Courier Shipping Bill (CSB-V) at the time of export, will not be required to upload the following documents on the ECCS system as prescribed under Para 3(I)(v) of Circular No. 09/2022-Customs: c) Photos of the export item (not exceeding 2MB); d) Photos of the product package/outer covering (not exceeding 2 MB); and e) Image of the product listing on the e-commerce platform.

Such a declaration will also relieve the exporter from filling out certain additional fields concerning item-level specifications of the jewellery in the Form HA. Necessary modification is being made in the Express Cargo Clearance System (ECCS) for incorporating these changes in Form HA. 4. Difficulties, if any, in the implementation of this Circular may be brought to the notice of the Board. Yours faithfully (Harish Kumar) Under Secretary (Cus-V) Tel: 2309 5541
