Asia-Europe Meeting: CBEC Chairman calls for greater cooperation among Customs Administrations

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, OCT 08, 2015: THE Chairman, Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), Mr Najib Shah, today said that emerging demands and changing dynamics of growing international mobility of goods and capital, demand greater cooperation amongst Customs Administrations. He said, "On one hand, we have to mobilize and facilitate legitimate trade and on the other, we have to be at the forefront of the fight against importation of dangerous and harmful goods."

Mr Shah was speaking after inaugurating the 11th Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) of the Directors' General-Commissioners of Customs at Dona Paula near Panaji in Goa today. Mr Shah further said that effficient customs controls over international movement of goods lead to the promotion of certainty and predictability. He said that this translates into Customs becoming a key driver in the contribution towards our national socio economic development. In order to achieve this, the emphasis is shifting to automation, single window clearance, and risk management to facilitate the movement of legitimate goods and to focus resources on high-risk areas, he added. 

The Chairman further said that in order to have smooth flow of goods across different countries, there is need for increasing co-operation between Customs and tax authorities. He said that in India, it is a declared policy to share data between Customs, Excise, Service tax and the Direct taxes. From a taxpayer facilitation perspective, Large Taxpayer Units have been set up where all taxpayer services be it Customs, Excise, Service tax or Direct taxes are rendered under one roof. Recognizing the primacy of Customs, the Indian government has appointed inter-agency Customs Clearance Facilitation Committees at the local and national level to set trade facilitation on a path of continuous improvement, he added

Representatives from 44 countries and two International Organisations European Union and ASEAN Secretariate are participating in two day 11th Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) of the Directors' General-Commissioners of Customs organised by the Central Board of Excise and Customs, Ministry of Finance here at Dona Paula near Panaji in Goa today.
