Mandatory 15-day post-suspension hearing must precede customs broker licence suspension under Reg 16(2) CBLR 2018 | Customs Broker Licensing : CESTAT

CESTAT set aside the suspension of Capricorn Logistics’ customs broker licence, holding that the authority erred by not granting the statutorily required 15-day hearing under Regulation 16(2) of the 2018 Customs Broker Licensing Regulation. The ruling reinforces procedural safeguards for all customs brokers facing licence suspension.
