Customs Broker Wins Appeal: License Reinstated After Clearing Regulatory Compliance and KYC Documentation Requirements

Case Laws Customs AT

CESTAT held that the Customs Broker's license revocation was unwarranted. The tribunal found no substantive violations of Regulations 10(d), 10(e), and 10(n) of CBLR, 2018. The broker had obtained requisite KYC documents, verified exporter's credentials, and was not responsible for identifying potential mis-declarations of export goods. The appellate authority determined that customs authorities previously cleared similar shipments, rendering the penalty and license suspension unjustified. The impugned order was set aside, effectively reinstating the Customs Broker's license and dismissing the penalty proceedings.
