Protection for customs officers shields them from liability for detection failures, inadvertent release, or other actions under IPR enforcement rules. Rule 13 of the Intellectual Property Rights (Imported Goods) Enforcement Rules, 2007 provides that customs officers acting in good faith and having followed the Rules' procedures shall not be liable for failure to detect goods infringing intellectual property rights, the inadvertent release of such goods, or any other action in respect of such goods.
