Rajan Subramaniam.: we have a situation where cargo was passed by customs and loaded on-board vessel. The vessel has sailed and out of the waters of the Customs of the Loaded port. The OBL had been issued at the Booking country in Europe.Now the Customs of the loading port have requested the agent to import the container back as they have started an investigation. can this be done legally. What remedy has the Consignee to safeguard the cargo. Please advise.

Admin: Hello Rajan Subramaniam, Govrnment of any country can call back Vessel if any suspicious malpractice doubted. If no contraband found, the consignee may claim loss (if any) with the authorities.
