Export warehouse congestion at Mumbai airport.

Due to a Custom Clearing Agents strike held on 20th & 21st Mar, which was followed by a Mumbai Custom's system failure, the export clearance process for general cargo in Mumbai had been stopped. Since, 22nd March the export clearance process has been facing delays which had resulted in more than 500 trucks queued up outside the cargo terminal to discharge export cargo.

Today, 26th March, more than 10 Reefer truck have queued up and so, space during the day will be an issue. In addition to this, a little over 100 trucks have already queued up outside the cargo complex waiting to discharge their export cargo.

Tomorrow, 27th March is a Public holiday in Mumbai (BOM) on account of the festival of Holi. The situation is likely to get worse as agents will try to clear maximum of their cargo today. 

However, there is not much impact on exports of Fruit, Vegetables and our temp control Pharma traffic as these are handled through a different terminal. 

There are no issues for Imports into Mumbai (BOM); so please forward cargo into Mumbai (BOM) as normal.

Be informed that due to the above reasons the export warehouse at Mumbai (BOM) airport is full and heavily congested, this could possibly delay the exports ex Mumbai (BOM).
