Bonded warehouses may face 24-hour discrepancy reporting, five-year digital records under proposed customs overhaul

The government is planning to introduce stricter rules for bonded warehouses, requiring them to report any discrepancies within 24 hours electronically. This change aims to improve compliance and reduce the risk of customs duty evasion. The new rules also mandate five-year digital records of goods, from receipt to clearance, transfer, or export, which will help track and monitor goods more efficiently. This overhaul is expected to increase transparency and accountability in the customs process, ultimately benefiting the economy.
