Suspension of a customs broker's licence under Regulation 16 of the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2018 is preventive and requires an independent assessment of immediate necessity; mechanically adopting an investigative communication or continuing suspension without established urgency does not meet that requirement.

An adverse finding based on material withheld until completion of an investigation violates natural justice. The proprietor's non-appearance before investigators does not, by itself, establish the broker's failure to cooperate.
