Welcome

The Jawaharlal Nehru Custom House (JNCH), located in Nhava Sheva, Raigad, is responsible for handling the import and export cargo clearance at Nhava Sheva port. This port is under the administration of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA). Initially commissioned on May 26, 1989, as a government-owned terminal, it has since expanded to include five privately-operated port terminals for containerized cargo handling and also a facility for handling bulk liquid cargo. It is recognized as one of the top 30 global container ports in terms of size and capacity. The JNCH plays a significant role in processing a substantial portion of India's containerized import-export cargo. Typically, import cargo is transferred to one of the 32 Container Freight Stations (CFS) for compliance with legal regulations and procedures by various border management agencies, including Customs, unless it is delivered through the Direct Port Delivery (DPD) scheme. Exports are also managed through the CFS for the containerization of cargo. Furthermore, self-sealed containers carrying cargo from the inland regions are processed on-wheel for export clearance at the Centralized Parking Plaza.
