CBIC issued a Press Release on new functionality available in Form GSTR-2A w.r.t Import Data

Two new tables have been inserted in GSTR-2A for displaying details of the import of goods from overseas and inward supplies made from SEZ units/SEZ developers. Taxpayers can now view their bill of entries data which is received by the GST System (GSTN) from ICEGATE System (Customs). The present data upload has been done on a trial basis to give a feel of the functionality and to get feedback from the taxpayers on the same.

Currently, the system is displaying data up to 6th August 2020. Further, taxpayers may note that the system currently does not contain import information for a bill of entries filed at non-computerized ports (non-EDI ports) and imports made through courier services/post office. This will be made available shortly.

It may also be noted that amendment information made in the details of bill of entries will also be provided soon. Taxpayers are requested that they share their feedback by raising a ticket on the self-service portal (https://selfservice.gstsystem.in).
