of <h1>Supreme Court Rules Importers/Exporters Liable for Demurrage Charges on Detained Cargo; Customs Urged to Minimize Storage Delays.</h1> The circular addresses the issue of detention of imported and exported cargo, leading to demurrage charges for importers/exporters. Various agencies may detain goods for investigation, causing high warehousing fees. The Supreme Court ruled that these charges are the responsibility of the importer/exporter, even if detention is deemed improper. The Customs Department is advised to categorize goods and consider provisional clearance to minimize storage. Import goods should not be detained unless prohibited by policy, and importers should be informed about shifting goods to bonded warehouses to avoid charges. Detailed reasons for prolonged detention must be recorded, and steps taken to minimize demurrage should be communicated to parties involved.
