of <h1>Customs Can Suspend Clearance of Imported Goods Suspected of IP Infringement Under 2007 Rules</h1> Under the Intellectual Property Rights (Imported Goods) Enforcement Rules, 2007, customs officials can suspend the clearance of imported goods suspected of infringing intellectual property rights. This can occur either based on a notice from the rights holder or on the official's own initiative if there is prima facie evidence. The importer and rights holder must be notified immediately. If the rights holder does not participate in proceedings within ten working days (extendable by ten more days), the goods are released, provided other import conditions are met. For perishable goods, the suspension period is shorter, with specific requirements for the rights holder to join proceedings promptly. If the rights holder participates and infringement is confirmed, customs may seize the goods.
