Customs duty on cruise consumption: vessels must declare and pay duty; domestic passengers cannot buy duty-free aboard. Cruise vessels must pay customs duty on consumed stores, including alcohol, based on vessel self-assessment and declaration; domestic passengers on domestic sectors cannot purchase duty-free goods aboard and must pay duty on any on-board purchases upon disembarkation. Chief Commissioners may authorize escorts when necessary despite a general policy of no escort on domestic legs. The term Indian Customs waters is extended to the Exclusive Economic Zone, but Section 12 governs dutiability; calling at an Indian port or consuming stores during territorial transit or port stay creates liability, while mere passage without calling does not.
