MULTAN: The Customs Collectorate and Directorate of Customs Intelligence and Investigation have cancelled the monthly auction of confiscated non-duty paid vehicles and miscellaneous goods.
As per details, MCC Multan and Directorate of Customs Intelligence & Investigation has made plan to auction of confiscated goods and non-customs paid vehicles in the last week of October.
The auction has been cancelled due to availability of fewer confiscated vehicles and goods lying in the State ware House of Multan Customs and Directorate Office.
Customs Adjudication is authorized to decide any seizure case in 120 days after issuance of show cause notice to respondents in the cases. Confiscated vehicles are main attraction for the bidders in the auction.
Huge numbers of seizure cases are still under adjudication in the Customs Adjudication Multan Camp Office. Multan Customs Collectorate has only three confiscated vehicles and miscellaneous goods. On the other side Customs Intelligence and Investigation has also only one confiscated vehicle available for auction.
Confiscated vehicles needs legal procedure because few owners filed review appeal in their seizure cases and these confiscated vehicles are not disposed until the final decision of court to overcome any complication.
Auction of confiscated vehicles and goods generate handsome revenue for the Customs Collectorate and Directorate of Customs Intelligence & Investigation.
