CESTAT Chennai Upholds 90-Day Limit Under CBLR
Background
M/s. Kailash Shipping Services Pvt. Ltd., a licensed Customs Broker, faced suspension of its broker license (License No. R-302/CHA) due to an alleged offence involving the use of a tampered self-sealing permission letter during export clearance at Chennaiβs DPE facility in November 2024.
Although the firm promptly admitted that the mistake was committed by a junior staff member (who was later suspended), the Customs Department issued:
- Initial Suspension Order under Regulation 16(1) of the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations (CBLR), 2018.
- Continued Suspension Order under Regulation 16(2).
- A subsequent Show Cause Notice (SCN) No. 09/2025 dated 17.03.2025 under Regulation 17(1), received by Customs on 09.12.2024.
