Mis-handled baggage clearance requires staged storage, mandatory re-scanning, dual custody and Customs disposal for unclaimed items. Procedure establishes two sequential MHB storage areas-MHB-WH-I for short-term holding and MHB-WH-II for extended holding-with AOC responsible for infrastructure, AOC cards and register entries. Re-scanning is mandatory; suspected contraband or trade-quantity goods require examination, inventory and sealing in presence of witnesses and AOC before storage. Dual custody with separate locks for Customs and AOC governs access. Release requires re-screening and register formalities; authorised agents may clear baggage for passengers. Unclaimed baggage remaining in extended storage beyond the retention period will be inventoried, transferred and disposed of by Customs without further reference to carriers.
