Customs Clearance
Chhattisgarh's steel, aluminium and power belt imports heavily and exports steadily — and Nagpur is the closest full-service customs hub on the corridor. ACSPL, a licensed customs broker since 2006, files at all three Nagpur depots — ICD Nagpur (MIHAN), ICD DLI (Borkhedi) and ICD Adani Nagpur — and at JNPT (Nhava Sheva), coordinating inland movement to and from Raipur, Bhilai, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Urla, Siltara and Korba.
What We Handle
Bill of Entry filing, duty assessment and out-of-charge for coking coal handling equipment, refractories, furnace components, electrical machinery and plant spares — cleared at a Nagpur ICD or at JNPT, then moved onward by road or rail.
Shipping Bill filing, Let Export Order processing and drawback claims for steel products, sponge iron, aluminium, cement and agricultural commodities.
Project import registration and EPCG licence handling for plant expansions and capital equipment — a frequent requirement across Chhattisgarh's steel and power sector.
Why Route Through Nagpur
Cities & Districts
The state's industrial belt clusters along the Raipur–Bhilai–Durg corridor, with the power and aluminium sector concentrated further north.
The state's main commercial and industrial centre. Steel, engineering and agri cargo, roughly 290 km from Nagpur on a direct highway corridor.
The steel cluster. Refractories, furnace equipment and rolling mill spares inbound; finished steel and billets outbound.
Aluminium smelting and thermal power. Smelter equipment, anodes, electrical machinery and coal-handling systems, often under project import registration.
Raipur's industrial estates. Sponge iron, steel re-rolling and engineering units across the belt.
Cement, agro-processing and engineering cargo, routed through the Nagpur depots or onward to JNPT.
Cement, power and rail-linked industrial cargo across the northern districts of the state.
Also handled regularly: Raigarh, Janjgir-Champa, Jagdalpur and the surrounding industrial belt.
Routing
Chhattisgarh consignments are cleared either at a Nagpur ICD or at the gateway port, then moved inland. Both routings are available.
The container railed from JNPT clears at ICD MIHAN, DLI Borkhedi or Adani Nagpur, then runs by road into Raipur, Bhilai or Korba. Generally the lower-cost routing.
Clearance is completed at Nhava Sheva and the container moves straight through to Chhattisgarh. Preferred for urgent plant spares and project cargo.
Export cargo from Raipur, Urla, Siltara or Bhilai moves to a Nagpur ICD for Shipping Bill clearance, then onward by rail to JNPT.

Industry Expertise
The state's cargo profile is dominated by heavy industry, where duty structures, anti-dumping notifications and BIS requirements change often and need watching.
Refractories, furnace equipment, alloys and rolling mill spares inbound; finished steel, billets and sponge iron outbound from the Bhilai–Raipur–Durg cluster.
Smelter and power-plant equipment, anodes, electrical machinery and coal-handling systems for the Korba industrial belt, including project import registration where applicable.
Cement plant machinery and spares inbound, plus rice and agricultural commodity exports with the associated Plant Quarantine and FSSAI documentation.
Our Approach
FAQ
No. We operate from Nagpur (head office) and Navi Mumbai, and file customs documents at the three Nagpur ICDs and at JNPT. Chhattisgarh cargo is handled from Nagpur, roughly 290 km from Raipur, with inland transport arranged to and from the plant.
At one of the three Nagpur ICDs — ICD Nagpur (MIHAN), ICD DLI Borkhedi or ICD Adani Nagpur — or directly at JNPT Nhava Sheva. From there the container moves by road or rail into Chhattisgarh.
Yes. We handle project import registration and EPCG licence registration — a routine requirement for steel and power-sector expansions in the state.
We verify each consignment against current anti-dumping and countervailing duty notifications before filing, since coverage is specific to HS code, country of origin and sometimes the individual exporter. This check happens pre-shipment wherever possible so landed cost is known in advance.
Clearance at a Nagpur ICD usually takes 2–4 working days from Bill of Entry filing to out-of-charge, plus the inland leg to Chhattisgarh. Examination or chemical testing can extend this.
Yes. Inland container movement to Raipur, Bhilai, Durg, Urla, Siltara, Rajnandgaon and Korba is arranged as part of the same engagement, so clearance and delivery stay under one point of contact.
