Adjudication powers expanded for Additional and Joint Commissioners; higher thresholds allow more frontline officers to decide show cause notices. Adjudication powers of Additional and Joint Commissioners of Customs are increased: in collusion, wilful misstatement or suppression cases Additional Commissioners may decide show cause notices up to an enhanced duty threshold and Joint Commissioners up to a raised lower threshold. For cases where the extended period is not invoked, the value limit (value of goods) for adjudication by both Additional and Joint Commissioners has been raised to a higher ceiling. Public Notices or Standing Orders are to be issued and implementation difficulties reported to the Board.
