Seizure limitation: restrict seizures of gem and jewellery to cases with prima-facie evidence and require prompt release. Seizure of gem and jewellery stock is to be limited to cases with prima-facie evidence or absolute necessity; where offences are technical or unlikely to lead to confiscation or prosecution, goods should be detained pending investigation under the Customs Act and investigations completed expeditiously. If seizure is necessary, authorities must seek to lift it promptly after completing formalities to protect revenue, submit a detailed report explaining the reasons for seizure and non-release to the Ministry, and ensure procedural safeguards to prevent long-term retention that harms exporters and trade finance.
