Chapter 84 into Ghaziabad via ICD Tughlakabad / ICD Dadri. The classification, duty and compliance levers.
Chapter 84 — Mechanical machinery, equipment, industrial parts. If you are importing under Chapter 84 into Ghaziabad, your nearest operating gateway is ICD Tughlakabad / ICD Dadri. Aurum clears here daily.

Chapter 84 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.
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 84 consignments are held at the dock more often than not — Project Imports Heading 9801, EPCG eligibility, accurate 8-digit classification. If you pre-apply 6–10 weeks before vessel ETA, holds are rare.
