Chapter 64 into Greater Noida via ICD Dadri. The classification, duty and compliance levers.
Chapter 64 — Footwear, gaiters and the like. If you are importing under Chapter 64 into Greater Noida, your nearest operating gateway is ICD Dadri. Aurum clears here daily.
Sports footwear (HS 6404), leather shoes (6403), rubber/plastic footwear (6402), components (6406).
Chapter 64 compliance overlaps three regulatory bodies in most cases. Greater Noida has its own optimal routing — usually ICD Dadri, 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.
Greater Noida and the Yamuna Expressway industrial corridor are best served by ICD Dadri — barely 25 km away — making it the lowest-friction gateway for the auto-component and electronics manufacturing belt. AEO-T1+ importers in the YEIDA zone can run DPD direct from Mundra where SKU economics permit.
Pre-shipment classification, duty estimate and PGA mapping — done before goods leave China, not after they're stuck.

For Greater Noida-bound cargo, ICD Dadri 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, Chapter 64 consignments are held at the dock more often than not — BIS QCO on footwear from 2024, leather inputs Cess. If you pre-apply 6–10 weeks before vessel ETA, holds are rare.
Yes — the Footwear QCO is in force and applies to imports as well as domestic manufacture. Coverage rolls out by IS standard family; we map your specific article against the live schedule and flag non-conformity before the shipment moves.
Tell us the commodity, the origin port and the destination ICD — we'll come back with a duty estimate and clearance plan.
