Challenges Impacting Customs Clearance: A few instances

?

• A shipment of medical equipment to Delhi was delayed in 2022 for three days due to minor issues with import documentation?

?

• In 2021, a Mumbai-based importer faced prolonged clearance issues from customs to import machinery, eventually leading to delays.?

?

• Despite repeated claims made by an importer, confirming that detained containers are verified for legitimate use, Chennai customs denied its clearance in 2020, causing unnecessary delay?

?

As a major importer, India ranks within the top 10 countries for importing consignments from abroad.

However, the growing disputes over clearance of BOE (Bills of Exchange) from customs, have bothered Indian importers for claiming their consignments.?
