Chapter 73 into Faridabad via ICD Faridabad. The classification, duty and compliance levers.
Chapter 73 — Articles of iron or steel. If you are importing under Chapter 73 into Faridabad, your nearest operating gateway is ICD Faridabad. Aurum clears here daily.
Steel pipes & tubes (HS 7306), fasteners (7318), structural steel (7308), steel wire (7217).
Chapter 73 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.
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, Chapter 73 consignments are held at the dock more often than not — BIS certification of foreign mill, ADD on Chinese flat products, Steel QCO. If you pre-apply 6–10 weeks before vessel ETA, holds are rare.
