Export cargo security: CFS custodians must allow sample drawals only on authorised customs letters and face liability. CFS custodians are responsible for secure custody of export cargo and must permit sampling only when a Customs officer or authorised agency draws samples in the presence of the exporter or representative and on production of a letter from the concerned AC/DC (CFS). Custodians must maintain records of samples and authorising letters; non-compliance in sampling or record-keeping makes the custodian liable for pilferage or shortages and requires reporting such incidents to the Docks (Administration).
