SUBJECT: CHANGES IN THE WEBOC SOFTWARE—-CRF NO.297-06062014

Kindly refer to the subject noted above.

2. In the wake of changes received from the collectorates to ensure compliance of Valuation Rulings by the traders, this Directorate has developed subject CRF containing software changes which will make mandatory for the trader to declare both “Unit Value (Self Assessed)” and “Unit Value (Invoice)”. The CRF shall be implemented in the system w.e.f. 02.09.2015. Following are the details of the changes to be made:

i) An additional text box has been given to importer / customs agent to declare invoice value for an item in addition to declared custom value.

ii) System shall not allow user to enter declared unit value of an item lower than the entered invoice value.

iii) System shall calculate duties and taxes on the basis of declared unit value (self assessed).

iv) Declared invoice value of an item shall be visible in GD print in the column of declared value, so that importer may not face any problem if he submits GD to any other organization like banks, etc. However, assessed value shall also be visible on GD print.

2) This office appreciates the feedback received from the Collectorates for improvement of the WeBOC software. The support team may be contacted at support.weboc@pral.com.pk for any further assistance and support. Collectorates are requested to circulate the new changes to the stakeholders for information.
