Authorised carrier responsibilities require custody safeguards, recordkeeping, electronic delivery orders, transparent charges, and continued liability when functions are outsourced.

Authorised carriers must maintain goods and movement records, provide tracking, ensure custody, safety and delivery, and pay duty on goods pilfered or lost while under their custody. They must electronically transmit delivery orders, publish service charges, comply with customs requirements, and report client non-compliance. Container detention charges are barred during customs verification where entries are correct, except after sixty days. Outsourcing is permitted after intimation to the customs Commissioner, with joint liability for acts or omissions.
