Identity verification under customs law can suspend import-export benefits when compliance documents are incorrect or authentication fails. Verification of identity and compliance under customs law authorises a proper officer to require authentication, proof of Aadhaar number, or other prescribed documents or information to ascertain compliance, protect revenue, and prevent smuggling. If Aadhaar is unavailable or authentication fails for technical or other uncontrollable reasons, alternative and viable means of identification must be allowed. On written reasons and specified findings of non-compliance, incorrect information, or failed authentication, customs benefits, clearance, refund, drawback, exemption, licence, registration, or other import-export benefits may be suspended until compliance or correct information is furnished.
