Customs cargo service provider obligations mandate custodian approval, infrastructure, security and compliance for handling import and export goods. The regulations define Customs Cargo Service Providers (CCSPs) and set approval, infrastructure and operational conditions for custodians handling import/export goods in customs areas, excluding bonded warehouses. Custodians must provide adequate civil, electrical and EDI infrastructure, ensure safety, security, prevention of pilferage, disposal of unclaimed goods and payment of cost recovery charges (subject to exemptions). Commissioners may set local standards, regulate entry to facilities to manage congestion, grant exemptions with written reasons, and initiate approval, renewal, suspension or penalty actions for non-compliance.
