Customs Manual 2023: Guidelines for Expeditious Clearance, Provisional Release of Detained Goods, and Avoiding Trade Disruptions
The Customs Manual 2023 outlines guidelines for the expeditious clearance and provisional release of detained goods to minimize trade disruptions. Goods should not be detained for simple valuation or classification disputes. Importers can shift detained goods to a bonded warehouse to avoid demurrage. Provisional release requires a bond and possibly a bank guarantee covering duties, fines, and penalties. The adjudicating authority may deny provisional release for goods liable to confiscation or considered prohibited. The bond must include an undertaking to pay assessed duties and penalties. Provisional release is not allowed for prohibited goods or those failing statutory compliance.
