Customs House Agent licensing requires qualifying exams, security and compliance, with suspension and revocation procedures following inquiry. Customs House Agents must hold a licence to transact import/export or conveyance clearance at Customs Stations, obtained by application in Form A, meeting prescribed educational, professional or experience and financial criteria, passing written and oral examinations administered by the Director General of Inspection, executing bonds or surety and furnishing security. Licences, granted on payment of the prescribed fee, are valid for ten years and renewable subject to performance and compliance; they are non-transferable. The regulations impose obligations on CHAs regarding client authorisations, recordkeeping, prompt payment of dues, employee qualifications and identity cards, and provide procedures for suspension, revocation and appeal.
