Time-bound customs clearance prevents unwarranted detention and demurrage; warehousing option and officer accountability required. Time-bound customs clearance is mandatory to prevent unnecessary detention and resultant demurrage; consignments must not be routinely detained without valid grounds. Where release is not advisable, field formations must offer warehousing under the statutory warehouse regime by written intimation to importers or agents, making clear that non-availment renders importers/exporters liable for demurrage. Non-compliance and unwarranted detentions causing demurrage will lead to accountability for erring officers.
