India: Import Detention Freetime Extension

In light of lockdown extension in India due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we further extend import freetime on all our containers from March 22, 2020 – May 03, 2020. This applies to all uncleared import containers from March 1, 2020 onwards.

Any container accruing detention for the period from March 22, 2020 – May 03, 2020 (both days inclusive) shall be exempt from import detention. This freetime will be over and above your existing contractual freetime and applies to carrier equipment detention only and to cargo cleared and waiver requested within May 2020.

This is a manual process and will not reflect automatically in the invoice. In case you are eligible for a waiver, please send us a waiver request on the following email address.

We urge you to arrange the timely movement of your import containers to minimize the potential costs as well as to ease the congestion and capacity issues, which could be experienced at various ICDs, CFS’ and Terminals.
