Risk Management System
Customs has recently introduced RMS for cargo clearance. The objective of the RMS is to strike an optimal balance between facilitation and enforcement and to enable low risk consignments, which are perceived to be law compliant, to be cleared with minimal intervention. This enables enhancement of the level of facilitation and speed up the process of cargo clearance. Once B/E is filed, it will go in the Risk Management System.
System will process the B/E against various risk parameters like:
- Whether importer is an individual, firm, company etc.
- Paid-up capital of the Company
- Reputation of the importer and persons
- Reputation of the CHA
- Past records of importer
- Sensitivity of the goods and exemption notification
- Recorded value data for the goods under import
- Country of Origin/ Country of Consignment etc
These parameters have been assigned individual risk weight and the result will depend upon the overall risk perceived by the RMS. Further, RMS has a Central Risk Manager and Local Risk Manager for human intervention and depending upon the external inputs, he can modify/give suitable directions for specific importer/ commodity.
