Gateway Clearance
Bill of Entry and Shipping Bill filing at JNPT Nhava Sheva, Mumbai Port and Mumbai Airport through our owned Navi Mumbai office, with CFS coordination at Vashi, Turbhe and Kalamboli.
Customs Clearance
Customs Clearance
in Maharashtra
Maharashtra is the one state where we hold offices at both ends of the move. ACSPL has been a licensed customs broker since 2006, with an owned head office in Nagpur filing at all three inland depots — ICD Nagpur (MIHAN), ICD DLI (Borkhedi) and ICD Adani Nagpur — and an owned branch office in Navi Mumbai working JNPT (Nhava Sheva), Mumbai Port and Mumbai Airport. That means inland clearance and gateway clearance are handled by the same company rather than handed to a correspondent.

Routing
How Maharashtra Shipments Are Routed
Within Maharashtra the choice is usually between clearing at the gateway or railing inland first. We hold offices for both.
Gateway at JNPT
Clearance completed at Nhava Sheva or Mumbai Port by our Navi Mumbai office, then road movement inland. Faster overall transit.
Inland at Nagpur
The container rails to a Nagpur ICD and clears there, closer to the consignee. Often the lower-cost routing for Vidarbha cargo.
Export from Factory
Export cargo moves from the plant to the chosen clearance point for Shipping Bill processing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Maharashtra locations does ACSPL file customs documents at?
At the three Nagpur ICDs — ICD Nagpur (MIHAN), ICD DLI Borkhedi and ICD Adani Nagpur — and at JNPT Nhava Sheva, Mumbai Port and Mumbai Airport. Both the Nagpur and Navi Mumbai offices are owned, not associate arrangements.
Should cargo clear at JNPT or inland at Nagpur?
It depends on the consignment. Gateway clearance at JNPT is usually faster; inland clearance at a Nagpur ICD is often cheaper for Vidarbha-bound cargo. Because we hold offices at both ends we have no incentive to push one over the other, and we compare both before you decide.
Do you cover Pune, Nashik and Aurangabad?
Yes. Cargo for western Maharashtra is normally cleared at JNPT or Mumbai Port by our Navi Mumbai office, with road movement onward. Those districts do not have their own guide page yet, but they are handled routinely.
Can you handle air cargo as well as sea?
Yes. Our Navi Mumbai team handles clearance at Mumbai Airport alongside the sea gateways, which matters for urgent spares and time-sensitive pharmaceutical or electronic consignments.
Do you arrange inland transport within the state?
Yes. Road and rail movement between the gateway, the ICDs and the consignee facility is arranged as part of the same engagement, so clearance and delivery stay under one point of contact.
What is the typical clearance timeline?
Generally 2–4 working days from filing to out-of-charge with complete documents, at either the gateway or an inland ICD. Examination, testing or regulatory clearance can extend this, and we flag that as soon as it is known.
