Air Consolidation & Customs Clearance

By and large all imports of CSIR Labs (some time exports also) are made through major Airports viz. N.Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkatta & Chennai. CSIR Lab/Instt is importing goods and machinery through different Air Consolidation & Clearing Agents and some times Air Consolidation by some firm and Customs Clearance by a different firm. The Charges for these services are heavier and some times crosses the cost of the materials. In addition to this the Consolidation & Clearance agents demand to have a Revolving fund to meet the expenses. In this context, it is imperative to have one common Consolidation and Clearing Agent who can attend the above services for all the CSIR Labs/Instt. at the respective Air ports.
