Chapters 61–62 into Faridabad via ICD Faridabad. The classification, duty and compliance levers.
Chapters 61–62 — Knitted/crocheted & woven garments and articles. If you are importing under Chapters 61–62 into Faridabad, your nearest operating gateway is ICD Faridabad. Aurum clears here daily.
Knitted apparel (HS 6109/6110), woven shirts (6205), woven trousers (6203), made-ups (Chapter 63).
Chapters 61–62 compliance overlaps three regulatory bodies in most cases. Faridabad has its own optimal routing — usually ICD Faridabad, occasionally JNPT or Mundra direct depending on consignment value, time-criticality and AEO status. We model the routing per consignment rather than defaulting to one gateway.
Faridabad's own ICD Faridabad (INFBD6) is the natural gateway, set up specifically to serve the city's industrial cluster — machinery, auto-component and steel-fabrication shops dominate the volume here. Sub-two-hour last-mile to Ballabgarh, NIT Faridabad and Sector 25 means demurrage exposure is among the lowest in NCR.
Pre-shipment classification, duty estimate and PGA mapping — done before goods leave China, not after they're stuck.

For Faridabad-bound cargo, ICD Faridabad usually wins on landed cost because rail-haul is bundled and last-mile is short. JNPT/Mundra direct only beats it for time-critical or oversized consignments, or for AEO-T1+ importers running DPD.
Without pre-clearance, Chapters 61–62 consignments are held at the dock more often than not — Advance Authorization for raw inputs, RoSCTL for finished garments. If you pre-apply 6–10 weeks before vessel ETA, holds are rare.
India has no FTA with China, so preference doesn't apply to Chinese-origin goods. If your fabric transits through an ASEAN or Korean processor with substantial transformation, CAROTAR Form I and origin documentation become critical — we audit the value-addition chain before claiming.
Tell us the commodity, the origin port and the destination ICD — we'll come back with a duty estimate and clearance plan.
