Govt mandates manual verification of imported drugs and medical devices due to SWIFT 2.0 system gap
Customs officers must now manually check import documents for healthcare products. This manual verification applies even to facilitated imports cleared by the risk system. The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs issued this directive on September third. A gap in the SWIFT 2.0 digital system necessitates this manual document check. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation requested this action to ensure regulatory compliance.
