Customs and custodians must apply statutory confiscation and disposal powers to imported goods uncleared within the statutory period or falling in the negative list, with goods removable to customs godowns or destroyed if valueless, after notice to the importer and permission of the proper officer. Operational measures require two-shift import cargo shed operations, partial release of export consignments into bonded areas to reduce examination-area congestion, and continuation of a temporary fifty percent licence fee concession for customs-occupied space pending final decision.
