Abandoned cargo or shipment on ports translates to high logistical costs and port congestion. In order to understand the legal remedies to deal with abandoned shipment, it is imperative to understand what is termed as Abandoned Shipment. As per Section 48 of the Customs Act 1962, the reasonable period until which the Authorities do not take an action to deal with goods that have not been cleared for home consumption or warehoused or transhipped from the date of unloading is thirty days.
