The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has issued *Circular No. 17/2024-Customs, dated September 18, 2024, which introduces key amendments to *Circular No. 07/2024-Customs (issued on June 25, 2024). These amendments are aimed at further simplifying the process of publishing automated exchange rates.

Key Highlights:

• The amendments aim to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of exchange rate notifications by integrating automated processes.
• This automation will reduce delays and minimize the risk of manual errors in updating exchange rates, which are essential for calculating customs duties on imports and exports.
• The initiative is part of CBIC’s broader efforts to adopt digital transformation and improve transparency in customs operations.

With these changes, stakeholders, including importers and exporters, can expect faster and smoother updates on exchange rates, leading to a more seamless customs experience. The circular offers detailed guidelines on the implementation of the new automated process and instructions for customs offices.
