Goods detention under customs restricts removal and can trigger custodial warehousing charges despite later findings. Detention of imported or exported goods permits customs to restrain owners from removing or dealing with goods pending investigation, initiated by various investigative agencies; if contraventions are found, adjudication follows, otherwise charges may be dropped and detention certificates issued. Custodians and shipping lines levy warehousing, demurrage and container detention charges during custody; customs may recommend remission via detention certificates but such waiver is discretionary, and judicial analysis has confirmed that custodial storage and detention charges remain payable by importers or exporters even when detention is subsequently disallowed.
