Abstract

Foreign currency seizures have increased dramatically across the international airport and this development is, inter alia, directly related to the unauthorised importation of gold. This article examines the mutually beneficial relationship between the two, in which the benefactors use the services of the foot soldiers. Readers can gain a useful understanding of the complexities involved and the roles of various agencies, including but not limited to the DRI, Air Customs, CISF, Airlines, and other stake holders in the effective implementation of the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962, and FEMA, 1999, using various modes of operation across international airports.
