It has been stipulated under Para 8 of the said Standing Order no. 06/2006 dated 22.02.2006 that, “………..It is also clarified that officers in the shed may examine a consignment even if it is directly selected for out-of-charge by the RMS, if they have a valid reason for doing so. However, such examination should be done only after bringing the case to the notice of the Additional/Joint Commissioner of Customs (Shed). In case of Accredited Clients, it would require written approval of the Commissioner.”
