More on ECCS mobility application
1. The ECCS mobility application was developed for the trade and ECCS stakeholders to inform them about the live status of their courier consignment in ECCS. The application takes input parameters like HAWB and Courier name and provides a host of output parameters like CBE number, date and time of filing, live status of consignment, assessable value and Customs duty to be paid.
2. Feedback was received from stakeholders that, some of the technical words like “OOC issued”, “Exit scanned”, which are being used to describe the status of consignment were not easily comprehensible to the trade. As a trade facilitation measure, it was also planned to provide status of transmission of CBEs to IDPMS/EDPMS modules of RBI and transmission of CBEs to ICEGATE for IGST refund or ITC credit.
3. Accordingly, the ECCS mobility application has been enhanced with the following new developments/features: i. Presenting ECCS live status of consignment in easy to understand language. Further, the detailed description and the time stamp of the current status of the consignment is also being provided; ii. Provide a public enquiry to let the trade know the status of transmission of CBEs to IDPMS/EDPMS modules of RBI and iii.
