Delegation of power to extend customs retention periods allows one-year additional extensions subject to prescribed limits.
The Central Government directs that powers of the Central Board under the first proviso to section 61 of the Customs Act to extend retention or clearance periods are exercisable by the Principal Commissioner of Customs or Commissioner of Customs, subject to a maximum extension of one year beyond the baseline retention period-four years for non-consumable stores and two years for the goods referred to in clause (b).

Amendment fees for shipping bills, port clearance applications, short shipment notices, and document cancellations are prescribed.
Customs fee requirements are expanded by prescribing charges for amendments to Shipping Bills, including vessel-name and other particulars, Port clearance applications, and Port on outward Entry applications. Fees are also imposed for amendment or supplementation of a Short shipment Notice and cancellation of any document. Charges range from two rupees to ten rupees, with vessel-name amendments and document cancellations charged for each amendment or document.
