FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK

We Customs I am delighted to inform you that we are on the next level of
Brokers have bright stepping stone. Our esteemed organisation is marching on a
future only if we glory with its completion of 82 years. This long journey of our
see ourselves as a institution witnessed a lot of pendulum swings. During our
useful link in the journey, we graduated from being called as “Mukaddam” to
logistics and supply “Custom House Agent” to “Custom Brokers”.
chain
Today, trade facilitation and improving ease of doing business
- Karunakar Shetty is at the heart of all endeavours’ of the CBIC. Digitisation have
become a central tool for attaining the stated objective.

With the changing times the modern day trade expects more
from us. Expectation ranges from being digitally enabled to
implementing the various initiatives that have been proposed
to improve our services. We continue to serve as pioneer
stakeholders, and engage as an extended arm for Indian Customs.
The current scenario as the trade evolves, we can be resourceful
in providing knowledge, and extending handholding support to
the relevant stakeholders. We are privileged to be dealing with
almost all the stakeholders across the logistics chain.

Friends, the advent of ICEGATE, saw the successful
implementation of SWIFT portal. We are witnessing success in
the implementation of E- Sanchit and Turant, as well. Both the
programmes initially saw some glitches, but at the end, these
initiatives emerged a win -win situation for the Government as
well as the trade.

With the pace the technology is brought to the use, I am sure,
the days are not so far, where assessment and examination will
be faceless. Proper compilation of documents will become our
important responsibility, if faceless transaction is to become a
reality.

In coming days we have to assume larger responsibilities.
My sincere request to one and all is to visualize a larger picture
with regard to our future prospects; Time and again I state that
we Customs Brokers have bright future only if we see ourselves
as a useful link in the logistics and supply chain.

I thank my entire team, Former Presidents, Advisors and secretariat
staff for being a support to me at all times. The glory that the
Association carries is the result of the hard work put behind by
my seniors, and the trust and blessings of all the members. We
seek your continued support to carry forward the legacy called
as “BCBA”.

Yours Sincerely

Karunakar Shetty

you all elected me as the Senior Vice President and the President Elect 2 years back so that I can take over today as
the President of OUR respected Association.

I accept the responsibility and post of President of our esteemed Association.

I feel honoured and privileged to become the President of our esteemed Association having great history of 80
years.

On behalf of my team and myself, I promise you all present here that we all shall do our best to serve you all and

support from all, every one. I need help, support, cooperation and guidance from all of you for the betterment of
our fraternity in every aspect of our profession. I request all members to write to me and our team members if they
feel that the improvement in any area of our working is required. I assure the House that all such communications
will be taken on high priority.

I want to say here that during the recently held elections, there were differences amongst the contesting Members
but after the elections, we all are friends again and I request all colleagues to leave behind the hard feelings and
work for the members.

I had received an advice yesterday morning from one of our senior member, Mr Tushar Jani to keep all members
under one roof and help small member companies. Tushar bhai, I promise that my team and I shall endeavour to
do so.

Now, I would like to give roadmap of my next one year plan :

1. First of all, we will have the FIATA World Congress, 2018 in September, 2018. We as BCBA will do our best
to make it a grand success. I request all members present here to attend the FIATA World Congress,2018 in
large numbers from Mumbai. This will give a very good opportunity for our BCBA members to meet and
interact with the foreign delegates from all over the world. Today every one is looking at India, our country
and wants to have business relations with Indian Freight Forwarders. Friends, I urge you all to be there in New
Delhi from 26th September to 29th September, 2018. Let me inform you that FIATA World Congress will be

2. One area which needs urgent attention where our members suffer for no fault of them : we have seen many a
times various customs investigative agencies make a CB party in the show cause notice despite no involvement
of a CB. We will devise a process whereby we can help such members. And as an extension of the same,

brought to the attention of the Association, with legal support.

3. To improve the operational yield of customs broker : Mr Dushyant Mulani, our incoming Vice President has

elaborate ideas on this matter and has a roadmap for the same. We will work To improve the operational yield
of customs broker.
4. Training of our staff; this is a continuous process. All my past Presidents have given great importance of
training for our staff. My team and I shall continue to introduce new courses for them so they remain with the
upto date knowledge.
5. Apart from these priority areas, we face various challenges in our day to day working with various stake
holders. Our Association, BCBA is a large body which is well respected by private and public entities. We
will have better professional relations with all of them to resolve issues faced by our members.

This committee is chaired by Mr. Nirav Thakker CPF VJGKT QHſEG DGCTGT KP EJCTIG KU Mr. Dushyant Mulani, under
whose guidance these committees have addressed many issues, some of which are placed below.

Courier Committee:

Regarding Courier clearance matter, BCBA has represented with CBIC and Commissioner of Customs, Special
Cargo regarding denial of free access to clear courier consignments.

Based on the effective representation by BCBA, the Commissioner of Customs, Special Cargo issued Note vide F
No Air/Cus/50/CC/211/2010 dated 7.2.2019 whereby the consignments were permitted for transfer to Air Cargo
complex within 24 hours upon request made by importer / CB. This has helped Custom Brokers to undertake the
clearance of Courier consignments at Air Cargo Complex, Mumbai instead of Courier Cell.

Further representation on this issue is also in progress with Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC).

Baggage & Postal Committee

Upon successful representation by the Association, the JN Customs Authorities issued necessary instructions, as
per the Minutes of the meeting of JN Customs PTFC meeting held on 24th September 2018. All UB containers
were now directed to D Scanner instead of R Scanner, thus reducing delay to a considerable extent. This has saved
considerable time for clearance of consignments being cleared through UB Centre.

The Association effectively represented with Speedy CFS Authorities for providing UB shipment invoices / proforma
online. This saved a lot of time as CB employees had to physically go to the counter and request for a proforma
copy which used to take couple of hours to be generated.

BCBA effectively represented with Speedy Authorities for passenger and CB’s coming to UB Centre along with
basic amenities. The same has now been provided.
