What happens to overcarried merchandise that is removed from customs custody?

Overcarried merchandise that is removed from customs custody can indeed be returned within 90 days. This provision allows for the re-importation of the goods without the need to go through the entire customs clearance process again, provided the merchandise is still within the stipulated time frame. This option can be particularly beneficial for businesses that may have made an error in their importation process or wish to return goods for any other reason.

The 90-day notification period acts as a safeguard for both customs and the importer, ensuring that any goods that are not intended to be retained by the importer can be properly managed. Overall, this provision seeks to facilitate the handling of overcarried items effectively while maintaining compliance with customs regulations.
