<h1>Customs Officers Urged to Enhance Inspections at Ports and Airports to Combat Smuggling, Follow Risk-Based Guidelines.</h1> The circular addresses concerns about the lax approach of Customs officers in inspecting vessels, aircraft, and vehicles at Indian ports and airports, with allegations of illegal gratification. It emphasizes the importance of effective rummaging to prevent smuggling, guided by risk management principles. Jurisdictional Commissioners are tasked with setting confidential rummaging parameters, considering factors like risk profiles and recent smuggling trends. The document references previous notices to improve transparency and accountability, while maintaining guidelines from the Customs Preventive Manual, 1987. Officers are instructed to adhere strictly to these guidelines, with deviations being taken seriously.
