Customs Broker's License Suspension Overturned: Tribunal Finds No Wrongdoing, Cites Lack of Justification and Compliance.

Case Laws Customs AT

The Customs Broker's license suspension under Regulation 16(1) of CBLR, 2018 and its continuation were challenged. The Tribunal examined the Bill of Entry details and found no evidence of illegal activities by the Customs Broker in removing the container or taking it back to the examination area. The duties of examining goods and allowing movement from the Container Freight Station were part of Customs officers' responsibilities, not the Broker's. The impugned order lacked clear findings and reasons for immediate suspension as per CBIC instructions. The Tribunal held that no sufficient grounds were made out against the Broker, and the continuation of license suspension could not be sustained. Following precedent, the Tribunal modified the order by setting aside the Broker's license suspension while allowing proceedings under Regulation 17 of CBLR, 2018 to continue as per law.
