    Madam/Sir, Subject: Revised instructions regarding initiation of requests for enquiry overseas in Customs matters reg. You may be aware that guidelines regarding making requests for overseas enquiries had been formulated in 2001 vide DGRIs D.O. 50D/11/2001 (Pt. II) dated 20-03-2001. Over a period of time, a need was felt to revisit these instructions, on account of both, the changing scenario and the lessons learnt with increased organizational experience in international cooperation in mutual assistance.

    Accordingly, some changes were carried out to the 2001 instructions by way of adding a few supplementary instructions. These instructions were circulated as part of the handbook on Bilateral Agreements on Mutual Assistance in Customs Matters, which was published by DRI in 2009. Thereafter, with a view to bring the instructions together as one monolithic whole, and also to further fine-tune the contents, a review was undertaken at the conference of ADGs, DRI, COIN officers and the Board, which was held in August, 2010 in New Delhi. The revised instructions on the initiation of requests for overseas enquiry are enclosed with this letter. It is hoped that the instructions would serve to bring clarity in the matter and also simplify the processes involved. It is also requested that these instructions be followed meticulously whenever requests for overseas enquiries are needed. This issues with the approval of Director General. Yours faithfully, (Vanaja N.Sarna) Additional Director General
