Sharing of G-Card Credentials Led to Misdeclaration of Import Consignment: CESTAT Upholds Revocation of Customs Broker Licence

Sharing of G-Card credentials led to misdeclaration of import consignment; CESTAT upholds revocation of customs broker license. This ruling highlights a serious breach of trust and compliance in customs operations. A G-Card authorizes individuals to transact customs business. Sharing these credentials can lead to misuse and fraudulent activities, such as misdeclaration of goods to evade duties. The CESTAT's decision to uphold the license revocation underscores the stringent penalties for such professional misconduct, aiming to maintain integrity in customs clearances.
