CBIC launches portal with info on customs proceedures, Rules

On Wednesday, the Central Board for Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) launched the Indian Customs Compliance Information Portal (CIP) at www.cip.icegate.gov.in/CIP for providing free access to information on all Customs procedures & regulatory compliance for nearly 12,000 Customs Tariff Items.

CIP is yet another facilitation tool developed by the CBIC to empower businesses as well as any interested person with up-to-date information on the legal & procedural requirements of Customs & Partner Govt Agencies (FSSAI, AQIS, PQIS, Drug Controller etc.) for carrying out imports & exports, a statement said. The portal would provide, at the click of a button, complete knowledge of all import & export related requirements for all items covered under the Customs Tariff thereby improving the ease of doing cross border trade. For using CIP, one can simply enter either the Customs Tariff Heading (CTH) or the description of the goods in question to get information to step-by-step procedures, regulatory compliances requirements like License, Certificates, etc., for imports as well as exports.
