You could also call this:

"What Customs officers can do with papers people give them"

When a Customs officer is given documents to look at under section 155E, they can do a few things with them. You should know that the officer can look at the documents closely. They can also take parts of the documents that they think are important. Lastly, the officer can make copies of the documents if they need to. These powers help the Customs officer do their job and check the documents properly.
