Fun Fact
The world's largest container ship, the HMM Algeciras, can carry over 24,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units). To put this into perspective, if each container were a standard shipping container, lined up end-to-end, they would stretch over 90 miles (about 145 kilometers)!
This fact illustrates the incredible scale and capacity of modern container ships, which play a crucial role in global trade and logistics.

Documentation: Importers or their customs agents must prepare and submit the necessary documentation to the customs authorities. This typically includes the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of entry, and any other specific documents related to the nature of the goods (such as certificates of origin or permits).
Assessment of Duties: Customs authorities assess the duties and taxes applicable to the imported goods based on their classification under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code. This assessment considers factors like customs duty, integrated goods and services tax (IGST), and any applicable cess.
Physical Inspection: Goods may be subject to physical inspection by customs officials to verify the declared value, quantity, and compliance with regulatory requirements. However, not all shipments undergo physical inspection, as many are cleared based on documentation and risk-based assessments.
Customs Clearance: Once all duties and taxes are paid or secured through a bank guarantee or bond, and any necessary inspections or verifications are completed, customs clearance is granted. The customs authorities then issue a 'Let Export Order' (for exports) or 'Out of Charge Order' (for imports), allowing the goods to be released for further transport or delivery
Post-Clearance Compliance: Importers must ensure compliance with post-clearance requirements, such as maintaining records, fulfilling any post-import obligations (like testing or certification), and addressing any customs queries or audits.
Customs Brokerage: Many importers use Custom House Agents (CHAs) to facilitate the customs clearance process. These agents have expertise in customs procedures and regulations, ensuring smooth and efficient clearance of goods.
Throughout this process, adherence to customs regulations, accurate documentation, and timely payment of duties and taxes are critical to avoiding delays and penalties. The Indian customs authorities are increasingly adopting digital platforms to streamline processes and enhance transparency in customs clearance operations.
