2. Further, for some of the document codes, the earlier requirement of uploading by PGA
only has been kept at abeyance for some time. The doc codes where uploading continues to be
accepted only by PGA are given in Annexure II. All other document codes can now be uploaded
by the IEC/Customs Broker on eSanchit. This list as given in Annex II will be revised to include
more document codes in due course. It is reiterated that PGAs will only be able to upload
documents for the IECs registered on ICEGATE. Therefore, the importers in your jurisdiction may
kindly be urged to immediately avail the facility of simplified registration of ICEGATE.
3. Doubts have been raised whether the amendment to the Statement table of BE can be
filed to include the exception reasons for non-applicable cases as elaborated in Para 2(d) of ICES
Advisory 04/2021. It is clarified that the amendment can be filed through service centre as well
as online. The amendment has to be filed at item level giving the Inv Sl No and Item Sl No of the
item against which exception is being claimed. For online filing of the amendment, Amend Code
S_STMT has to be used.
4. Considering that there are consignments facing difficulty in clearance due to non-
availability of certain documents in the initial days, the Systemic checking of mandatory
documents at OOC stage has been disabled for BEs filed before 23.01.2021.
5. The above clarifications along with the revised Annexures may be given wide publicity for
the benefit of all concerned.
