<h1>Supreme Court Ruling Spurs Faster Customs Clearance to Avoid Demurrage; Officers Face Accountability for Delays.</h1> The circular from the Central Board of Excise & Customs emphasizes the need for expedited customs clearance to avoid demurrage charges, following a Supreme Court judgment. Customs authorities are reminded that they cannot prevent custodians from charging demurrage once a detention certificate is issued. The circular instructs customs officers to process bills of entry swiftly, adhere to established guidelines, and avoid unnecessary delays. Monitoring by senior officials is mandated to ensure compliance. Importers are advised to use warehousing options in certain cases to avoid demurrage. Officers are warned of accountability for negligence or delays in processing.
