Chapter 94 into Ghaziabad via ICD Tughlakabad / ICD Dadri. The classification, duty and compliance levers.
Chapter 94 — Furniture, bedding, lamps and lighting fittings. If you are importing under Chapter 94 into Ghaziabad, your nearest operating gateway is ICD Tughlakabad / ICD Dadri. Aurum clears here daily.
Office furniture (HS 9403), LED luminaires (9405 41), plywood (4412 — overlaps), bedding (9404).
Chapter 94 compliance overlaps three regulatory bodies in most cases. Ghaziabad has its own optimal routing — usually ICD Tughlakabad / 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.
Ghaziabad and Sahibabad importers split between ICD Tughlakabad (~55 km via NH-9) and ICD Dadri (~45 km via NH-91) — the choice usually turns on commodity, with Dadri preferred for plastics/polymers and TKD for electronics and machinery. Both routings keep last-mile under three hours.
Pre-shipment classification, duty estimate and PGA mapping — done before goods leave China, not after they're stuck.

For Ghaziabad-bound cargo, ICD Tughlakabad / 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 94 consignments are held at the dock more often than not — BIS QCO on plywood, BIS CRS on LED, ISPM-15 pallet marking. If you pre-apply 6–10 weeks before vessel ETA, holds are rare.
LED luminaires fall under IS 16108 — but the R-number must match the exact model and wattage range. The most common hold is an R-number issued for a parent SKU that doesn't cover the specific variant on the BoE. Pre-clearance review catches this.
