Provisional release of detained goods can be granted on bond and bank guarantee, subject to exceptions and custodial charges. Statutory detention bars owners from dealing with goods once a detention order is served; custodians and carriers may levy warehousing and container detention charges during detention, which are ordinarily payable by the importer or exporter even if detention is later found improper. Where goods are not prohibited or implicated in serious fraud, officers should offer shifting detained goods to bonded warehouse storage or allow provisional release upon a bond supported by an adequate bank guarantee, with provisional release as the norm subject to specified exceptions. Officers must inform importers in writing and are accountable for unjustified detentions causing avoidable costs.
