हिंदी में सार
CBIC ने Circular 41/2026 से National Assessment Centre (NAC) Portal शुरू किया है — naccustoms.gov.in। यहाँ classification और valuation के फैसले, CAAR rulings, audit objections, NAC बैठकों के minutes और advisories keyword से खोजे और डाउनलोड किए जा सकते हैं। User manual icegate.gov.in पर है।
What the portal is for
National Assessment Centres (NACs) were set up with faceless assessment in 2020 to keep Customs assessment uniform across formations. The NAC Portal is a common digital platform that makes their decisions and reference material available to trade and to officers.
What you will find on it
- Audit objections, rulings of the Customs Authority for Advance Rulings (CAAR) and legal decisions.
- Issues resolved or taken up by NACs, and issues needing policy intervention.
- Issues on classification, valuation and other assessment matters.
- Minutes of NAC meetings, advisories, alerts, circulars and public notices.
- Zone-wise information of the Customs Clearance Facilitation Committee and the Permanent Trade Facilitation Committee.
How it helps an importer
Before filing, an importer or Customs Broker can search by keyword for how a product has been classified or valued. CBIC expects this to reduce divergent practices between ports and avoidable disputes.
