Indian Customs Waters extend to the Exclusive Economic Zone and give Customs law a maritime enforcement reach beyond ports and the shoreline. Customs officers may, where statutory conditions are met, stop and search vessels, search persons, arrest persons, and act against prohibited or undeclared goods intended for unlawful importation. Geographical presence within Indian Customs Waters does not make Customs the regulator of all maritime activities; fishing, offshore resources, security and environmental matters remain subject to their specialised statutory regimes.
