Section 49 storage facility and detention waiver certificates streamlined for delayed import clearance and cargo handling compliance. Facilitation of storage of imported goods under Section 49 of the Customs Act, 1962 is directed where clearance is delayed by investigation, examination, testing, verification, PGA approval, statutory NOCs, or other customs or legal processes. Officers must notify the importer or authorised Customs Broker at an early stage of the availability of the Section 49 facility, while custodians and CFSs must issue reminders, maintain records, and support timely consideration of requests. The notice also streamlines detention and demurrage waiver certificates by requiring verification, proper recording of reasons and periods, and compliance with the applicable regulations and instructions.
