<h1>Supreme Court: Pay Demurrage and Warehousing Fees Even If Customs Detention Improper Under Customs Act, 1962.</h1> The Customs Manual outlines procedures for the detention and release of imported and exported goods under the Customs Act, 1962. Goods may be detained for investigation by various agencies, and if charges are dropped, detention certificates may be issued to waive storage fees. The Supreme Court has ruled that demurrage and warehousing charges must be paid even if detention is deemed improper. Guidelines emphasize expeditious clearance and provisional release unless goods are prohibited or involved in fraud. Importers/exporters are responsible for charges if they appeal decisions. Customs officers are accountable for unwarranted detentions causing financial loss.
