Body worn camera recording for customs cargo examinations begins to support transparency, accountability, and orderly trade cooperation. Mandatory use of Body Worn Cameras by Customs Examining Officers during physical examination of import and export cargo at Inland Container Depots under Chennai-II (Import) Commissionerate is implemented with effect from 01.04.2026. All examinations on and after that date are to be recorded from the opening of packages or containers through completion of examination, including interactions with the importer, exporter or authorised representative. At the commencement of each examination, the Officer must make a brief recorded statement identifying the relevant cargo details and the attending representative.
