Customs detention of imported goods is synonymous with seizure once the goods are under Customs control and cannot be cleared without permission; a formal seizure memo is only a later procedural step. The six-month period for issuing a show-cause notice therefore runs from initial detention. Any statutory extension of that period must be granted and communicated before the original period expires; a later extension is without jurisdiction. The time-barred extension was quashed and the goods were directed to be released upon an indemnity bond and proof that any sale would be solely for animal-feed use. Classification, duty liability and the goods' nature remain open for adjudication.
