Import (Overseas) — entity reference

One bill of entry in the Import of Goods (Overseas) section of a GSTR-2B statement: goods you imported from outside India, on which integrated tax and cess were paid at customs. An overseas import has no supplier GSTIN, trade name or invoice, so the row hangs directly off the statement instead of under a supplier. Pull From GSTIN creates these rows from GSTN's reply and you never enter them by hand. They exist only on the portal side: Process GSTR2B never builds them from your purchases, so the Import of Goods (Overseas) row on the record's Overview, which shows the books side, is always zero, and on the Reconciliations tab every overseas import is Missing in Books, matched on bill of entry number and date. Each successful pull deletes the statement's overseas import rows and recreates them from the new reply. GSTR-3B adds the integrated tax and cess of every overseas import on the portal side to table 4A line (1). Import (Overseas) is not in any app menu, and its record page has no buttons.
