• The amount of
security has been enhanced from Rs. 75,000/- under Custom House Agents
Licensing Regulations (CHALR), 2004 to Rs. 5 lakh in CBLR 2013.
•The matter of what
security amount is to be furnished at the time of renewal of a license had been
examined earlier in 2004 when the security amount had been similarly enhanced
in comparison to CHALR, 1984. Accordingly, the Board had issued Circular
No.42/2004-Cus dated 10.06.2004 clarifying that at the time of renewal of
licenses of Customs Brokers license, enhanced security will not apply and the
same shall apply only to fresh licenses. No new factors have emerged to call
for a review of this decision. Hence, it is clarified that the same
dispensation shall apply under the present Regulations viz. CBLR, 2013.
• In other words, the
enhanced security amount would not apply to holders of valid licenses issued
under erstwhile regulations i.e. CHALR, 2004 or CHALR, 1984 who seek a renewal.
Other conditions prescribed under the CBLR, 2013 will have to be satisfied.
Board prescribes the following supporting
documents for the renewal of Customs Brokers licenses under CBLR, 2013:
(i)
Declaration affirming that there is no change in constitution / address of
Customs Broker; that there are no time expired / inoperative cards in Forms G/H
pending submission to the Department; that accounts are being maintained as per
Regulation 16 of CBLR, 2013; that no judicial/quasi-judicial cases are pending
against them (if yes, the details and status of each pending case); and that no
arrears are payable to the Department.
(ii) Self–
attested copy of Customs Broker Licence in Form B.
(iiii)
