Section 62

For the amount of all rates leviable under this Act in respect of any goods, the Authority has a lien on the goods and is entitled to seize and detain them until the rates are fully paid. Such a lien has priority over all other liens and claims except claims for money payable to the Government.

Rates in respect of goods to be landed become payable immediately on the landing of the goods.

Rates in respect of goods to be shipped are payable before the goods are shipped.

Rates in respect of goods to be removed from the premises of the Authority are payable on demand.[59
