Right holders can notify Customs to suspend clearance of goods infringing intellectual property rights; must follow specific format.

A right holder can notify the Principal Commissioner of Customs, Commissioner of Customs, or an authorized Customs officer at the import port about goods suspected of infringing intellectual property rights, requesting suspension of their clearance. This notice must follow the prescribed format and include proof of a 2000 application fee payment. If required information is missing, the Deputy or Assistant Commissioner of Customs can request it within 15 days, extendable upon valid justification. The right holder must also update customs if their intellectual property rights become invalid or if they no longer own them.
