What did Chennai Customs say?
In response to the serious and wrong allegations of @Prawinganeshan dated 12.08.2025 dated 12.08.2025, we put the following facts in response to serious and wrong allegations. This importer has a model for making allegations of unfounded corruption and bribery on this platform to delete such publications after only these publications have been provided by this section.
Documental facts are as follows: During the exam, the goods announced in accordance with the CTH 90191010 were found incorrectly classified under CTH 90191020 and could be correctly classified. The importer accepted this re -classification by confirming the wrong classification on 01.09.2025. The physical examination revealed eight boxes of USB charging cables in the input invoice, commercial invoice and packaging list – a clear violation of the 111th of the 1962 Customs Law, containing established rechargeable batteries, Central Pollution Control Board, Speratiight in its personality, 20222. 08.09.2025 and EPER 29.09.2025. Instead, the importer presented false documentation (E -Atık attempt) and made legally unhappy claims of MSME exemption, finished product exemption and low battery capacity exemption – none of these battery waste management rules, 2022.
The allegations of harassment and cooperation are clearly wrong. On 08.09.2025, the importer had a personal hearing in accordance with the principles of natural justice. In particular, in order to help the importer avoid deduction fees during the trial, on 11.09.2025, the 49th part of the Customs Law was given permission to attachment. When the importer demanded additional time, the postponement was hosted on 19.09.2025. No payment or bribery was requested at any stage – all queries are absolutely related to compulsory legal compliance within the scope of battery waste management rules 2022, BIS Law 2016, Legal Metrology (Packed Metals) 2011 and Customs Law 1962.
In addition, during the exchange of the trial transactions in this entry invoice, the same importer presented identical property through an organization (spouse’s company) by showing systematic abduction rather than error. During an official meeting dated 30.09.2025, the importer tried to scare senior officers through the threats of exposure to the media and self -harm when informed that the process should be monitored. This behavior has been officially documented and reported.
The importer’s social media publications revealed a calculated pattern: When the allegations of corruption were faced with a legitimate examination, followed the deletion of the thread when the facts of violation were recorded by the importer. This selective narrative is a deliberate tactical to release the authorities without following the required process. Categorically, we specify that each action taken is legally compulsory, procedurally appropriate and based on documented violations discovered during the exam.
Chennai customs will not be deterred with false claims to perform their legal duties. We adhere to legal, transparent and professional behaviors while applying regulations designed to protect public health, consumer safety and environmental standards.@CBIC_INDIA
