The requirement of e-sealing of goods was to come into effect from January 1, 2019.
The customs department had in June last year decided that radio-frequency identification (RFID) sealing shall be required on transport of goods for deposit in a warehouse as well as removal therefrom.
Therefore, wherever the ‘warehousing regulations’ prescribe affixing of a ‘one-time lock’, the importer or owner of the goods shall use RFID anti-tamper one-time-locks.

In a letter to principal chief commissioners/chief commissioners of customs, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) said the implementation of the e-sealing norms stands deferred.
“The board has decided to further defer the implementation” of electronic sealing for deposit in and removal of goods from customs bonded warehouses, the CBIC said.
