BOMBAY                                                             CLEARANCE DELAY 

100% Examination of Import WPX shipments and Clearance Delays in BOM

Due to ongoing customs investigation on illegal import of gold through some express operators, all Import WPX shipments are undergoing 100% customs examination thereby delaying retrieval, processing & clearance of import shipments. This is leading to heavy congestion in the Common User Express Facility in Mumbai. Shipments are on an average taking 2-3 days for retrieval after clearance.

Please do not book time sensitive shipments such as Biological Samples, Stemcells, Life Saving Drugs to BOM without checking with BOMGTW.

There is no impact on DOX and Outbound shipments.
