Customs work allocation in Export Processing Zones vests routine authority in Assistant Commissioners while limiting referrals to Commissioners. Day-to-day operational customs authority in Export Processing Zones is vested in the Assistant Commissioner of Customs posted in the zone, who handles routine matters (re-reporting, temporary clearances, intra- and inter-zone transfers) under the overall supervision of the Development Commissioner. The Commissioner of Customs retains powers for adjudication beyond the Assistant Commissioner's competence, search/seizure/arrest for clandestine removals, and prescribing procedures for new facilities, with implementation left to the Assistant Commissioner; referrals are to be strictly limited to these categories.
