All inbound shipments to India must have the minimum 6 digit and Maximum 8-digit HS
Code clearly indicated in the cargo manifest.

This requirement has been introduced by Indian custom authorities to ensure
alignment of incoming cargo details with SCMTR system, facilitating more accuracy
and efficient cargo clearance.

We request all Port of Loadings to ensure strict compliance with this requirement by
manifesting correct HS code of minimum 6 or maximum 8-digit HS code in commodity Tab
as well as BL Body tab to avoid potential delays or issues in filing the custom manifest for
all Inbound cargo.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
