- A Bill of Entry (BoE) is a mandatory customs document required for importing goods into India, filed electronically via ICEGATE.
- It enables customs authorities to assess duties, verify compliance, and clear cargo, impacting duty payments, GST credits, and shipment release.
- The BoE includes details such as importer and exporter information, goods description, HSN code, assessable value, country of origin, and shipping details.
- There are three types: Home Consumption BoE (for direct clearance), Warehousing BoE (for storing goods in bonded warehouses), and Ex-Bond BoE (for clearing warehoused goods for domestic use).
- The BoE is governed by the Customs Act, 1962, and is distinct from a Bill of Lading.
