The Central Board for Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has created a site for customs processes and regulatory requirements.
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is India's major nationwide association in charge of
Customs, Service Tax, Central Excise, GST, and Narcotics. The Customs & Central Excise agency was founded in 1855 by the then-British Governor-General of India to manage customs regulations in India and collect import duties/land income. It is one of
India's oldest government ministries.
Currently, the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, Government of
India, is in charge of
Customs and Central Excise/GST. The agency is staffed by ministerial staff chosen through the
Staff Selection Commission (SSC) at the matric and higher secondary levels, executive officers chosen through combined graduate level exams, and IRS officers chosen through the
Civil Services Examination, who begin their careers as Assistant Commissioners/Directors in the field, with a few senior-most officers becoming Chairman/Members of the
CBIC/CESTAT/Settlement Commission.
