<h1>New Customs Act Section: Identity Verification via Aadhaar to Prevent Smuggling; Non-Compliance Leads to Import/Export Penalties</h1> The Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019, introduces Chapter XIIB to the Customs Act, focusing on identity verification and compliance. Authorized customs officers can require individuals to verify their identity, primarily through Aadhaar authentication, to ensure compliance with customs laws and prevent smuggling. If Aadhaar authentication fails, alternative identification methods are permitted. Exemptions to these requirements can be prescribed. Non-compliance or submission of incorrect information can lead to suspension of benefits related to imports and exports, such as clearance of goods, refunds, and duty exemptions. Suspensions remain until compliance is achieved or correct information is provided.
