Tenders will have to be submitted in the tender box from 9 am to 2 pm on 6-7 June, he added.
Importers do not unload goods imported from different countries from the port for many reasons. When importers do not take legitimate goods from the port in time, customs takes initiative to auction those goods.
As per the rules, a release notice is issued and importers have to take possession of imported goods within 30 days. Customs house authorities put the goods up for auction 15 days after the notice.
