Customs Clearance at Bengaluru Airport

Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) handles over 400,000 tonnes of cargo annually. The airport has dedicated cargo terminals for domestic and international shipments, temperature-controlled storage for pharmaceuticals and perishables, and customs examination facilities. Major airlines operating cargo flights include Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Lufthansa Cargo.

Our office is strategically located for quick access to the cargo terminal, enabling same-day carting and faster clearance turnaround.

Our import clearance process: 1) Document receipt and verification (invoice, packing list, AWB, IEC), 2) HS code classification and duty calculation, 3) BOE filing on ICEGATE, 4) Customs assessment and examination (if required), 5) Duty payment, 6) Cargo release and delivery coordination. For regular importers, we offer pre-arrival filing to reduce clearance time to same-day for green-channel cargo.

For air exports, we prepare the Shipping Bill, customs declaration, and security declaration. We coordinate with the airline for cargo acceptance and ensure compliance with IATA dangerous goods regulations where applicable. Our team handles cargo dimension verification and ensures proper packaging for air transport.

We have extensive experience clearing regulated cargo at BLR: electronics (BIS/CRS/WPC), food products (FSSAI), pharmaceuticals (CDSCO), chemicals (PESO), and machinery. Our pre-clearance consultation identifies required approvals before cargo arrives, preventing costly delays and detention.
