DETAINED /
MISHANDLED BAGGAGE
Detained Baggage
A passenger may request
the Customs to detain his baggage either for re-export at the
time of his departure from India or for clearance subsequently
on payment of duty.
The detained baggage
would be examined and full details will be
inventorised.Such baggage are kept in
the custody of the customs.
Mishandled
Baggage
In case the baggage has
been lost or mishandled by the Airlines, the passenger is
required to obtain a certificate to that effect from the
airlines and get it countersigned by Customs indicating
specifically the unutilized portion of the free allowance.
This would enable the passenger to avail the unutilised
portion of the duty free allowance when his baggage is
delivered by the
airlines.
