Sri Lanka Customs has announced that manual document submissions for Full Container Load (FCL) imports under office code CBHQ1 will no longer be accepted from October 19, 2026, as part of its transition to a paperless Customs declaration system.
In a notice, Sri Lanka Customs stated that the paperless processing of Customs Declarations (CusDecs) for FCL imports was officially launched on October 1, 2026.
Under the new system, all importers are required to obtain a digital signature and complete the necessary registration by October 19 to access the paperless processing service.
According to Sri Lanka Customs, approximately 2,000 importers have already obtained digital signatures, while a significant number are yet to complete the registration process.
Customs further clarified that importers who have already registered for digital signatures must immediately use the paperless system and should not submit documents manually, even before the October 19 deadline.
The Department urged all remaining importers to complete their digital signature registration before the deadline to ensure compliance with the new system. (Newswire)
