The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has notified the Customs Brokers Licensing (Amendment) Regulations, 2022.
A notification issued on Tuesday stated that “(1) Each Customs Broker shall enroll himself as a member of the Customs Brokers’ Association at every jurisdiction he operates if there is such an Association registered in the Customs Station, where the Customs Broker is operating and recognized by the Principal Commissioner of Customs or Commissioner of Customs, as the case may be. (2) No Customs Broker shall enroll himself in more than one Association, at a given time, in a particular jurisdiction.”
The notification also provides for the power to relax where “an applicant or a Customs Broker or NACIN makes a representation to the Board that he or it, as the case may be, is unable to comply with his or its duties or obligations within the time period as specified under any provision of these regulations, for the reasons beyond his or its control, but otherwise satisfy all other conditions if any, as provided under such provision, the Board may, after consideration of the representation, and for reasons to be recorded in writing, allow a further time period for compliance of such duties or obligations.”
