Importers: FBR relaxes conditions for acquiring 'UUIs'

  • Personal appearance and submission of original CNIC shall not be required under the new rules
Published September 7, 2021

Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Monday relaxed conditions for the importers for obtaining 'unique user identifiers (UUIs)' under the Customs Computerised System. The FBR has issued SRO1112(I)/2021 to amend Customs Rules, 2001.

The new rules also provided that personal appearance and submission of original CNIC shall not be required if biometric information and other information of the applicant are available in the Sales Tax or national tax number (NTN) registration database.

Under the revised rules, the FBR will not ask for personal appearance and submission of original NTN and CNIC of the importers for obtaining "unique user identifier" under the Customs Computerised System (CCS) where biometric information of the applicant is available in sales tax or NTN Registration database.

It is mandatory that any person interested or required to interact online with CCS may get himself registered as a user by submitting his application in Form-I to the Collector, Model Collectorate of Customs, including any other information as may be required by him for the purpose.

In case the user is clearing, shipping or warehouse agent, he shall present original license issued by customs authorities in lieu of original NTN.
