Suspension and revocation of broker licences: administrative suspension, inquiry, and penalty follow structured notice and hearing procedures. Administrative measures permit the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner to revoke a customs broker's licence, forfeit security or impose a monetary penalty on grounds such as breach of bond conditions, regulatory non compliance, misconduct, insolvency, unsoundness of mind, or conviction. Immediate suspension may be ordered pending inquiry, followed by a notice requiring written defence and choice of personal hearing. Unadmitted grounds may be inquired into by a nominated Deputy/Assistant Commissioner, whose report is considered before the Commissioner passes final orders, with an opportunity for personal hearing prior to licence revocation and a right of appeal.
