Restriction or prohibition does not automatically bar release; the authority must exercise statutory discretion on the facts and impose reasonable safeguards. Administrative instructions cannot curtail that discretion. Bonds, security, and conditions may protect revenue, but cannot make release commercially impossible. Re-export may address import-policy concerns by preventing domestic circulation while avoiding continuing detention losses and preserving adjudication. en-us Mon, 03 Aug 2026 08:21:15 +0530 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 08:21:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=17085 Provisional release under Section 110A of the Customs Act is an interim mechanism and should not predetermine disputed classification, import restrictions, confiscation, or penalties.
