Delegation of customs enforcement powers to local police enables designated officers to perform customs search and seizure functions. The Central Government entrusts specified local police and certain administrative officers with the functions of an Officer of Customs, authorising them to exercise defined customs enforcement powers (including search and seizure and related enforcement functions) within their jurisdictions. The notification lists particular ranks and office-holders and delegates either a broad contiguous range of enforcement functions or a narrower subset to police station heads and subordinates, operating as an administrative entrustment under the Customs Act.
