Container Scanning Protocol Enhances Trade Security with Automated Risk Assessment and Mandatory Examination Procedures

April 16, 2025

Circulars     Customs

The document establishes a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for container scanning at Tuticorin Custom House, detailing protocols for import and export container selection, scanning processes, and handling of suspicious containers. The Drive Through Container Scanning System (DTCS) automatically selects containers for scanning based on risk parameters, with mandatory scanning requirements for selected containers. Containers marked "CLEAN" receive a blue "SCANNED OK" stamp, while "SUSPICIOUS" containers undergo 100% examination. Export containers receive priority, with AEO and perishable cargo receiving precedence. Terminal operators, shipping lines, and customs brokers are responsible for ensuring selected containers are scanned, with potential penal actions for non-compliance under the Customs Act, 1962 and Handling of Cargo in Customs Areas Regulations, 2009.
