Single window customs declaration to boost exports: CBEC

New Delhi, Apr 22 (PTI) The tax department has put in place an integrated single window customs declaration system to encourage exports by improving ease of doing business.
Speaking at an FIEO event, Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) Chairman Najeeb Shah said that many government departments dealing with animal quarantine, plant quarantine, and agencies like Drug Controller, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India and Textile Committee are on board.
"In line with the objective to enhance the ease of doing business, integrated declaration under the customs single window has been implemented under which exporters would not be required to take permission from other agencies," Shah said.
He further said there is complete disbursal of duty drawback electronically and hardly any claim is pending as on date with customs authorities, particularly with JNPT Customs.
"Exports-imports play a crucial role in an economy and CBEC has taken several steps to reduce transaction cost and time and ease of doing business," Shah added.
