The Law - When Officers get transferred
IN another Trade Facilitation meeting in the JN Customs, an importer submitted that while discharging their duties, Customs is also monitoring other allied acts and every time there is mass transfer of operational officers the trade faces difficulties with the new officers. He desired to know whether there is any standing mechanism for training, sensitizing the new officers.
The Department replied:
All the standing orders, public notices are uploaded on the JNCH website. Further, the department undertakes regular training of all the newly posted officers.
The fact is the Law is what the officer says it is and this view changes with the officer and as far as Customs is concerned, the officer is a few places above the Supreme Court. What you need is not the Law but the ability to convince the officer.
