Decision to arrest needs to be  taken  on  case-to-  case basis considering various factors, such as,  nature and gravity of offence, quantum of duty evaded or credit wrongfully availed, nature and quality of evidence, possibility of evidences being tampered with or witnesses being influenced,  cooperation  with  the  investigation, etc. Power to arrest has to be exercised after careful consideration of the facts of the case which may include:

ii. to prevent such person from absconding;

iii. cases involving organized  smuggling of goods  or evasion of customs duty by way of concealment;

iv. master minds or key operators effecting proxy/ benami imports/exports in the name of dummy or non-existent persons/IECs, etc;
