Ports, ICDs and air cargo gateways
115 Indian gateways, with the customs location code for each — the code that actually goes on your shipping bill.
Where we clear
At 18 gateways we book, file and follow through ourselves. At the rest we clear through appointed brokers working under a Scapex file, so the accountability for your shipment does not change hands even when the location does.
The government major ports, plus Vizhinjam and Port Blair.

Mumbai Port
INBOM1
Largely bulk, breakbulk and coastal traffic; container volume moved to Nhava Sheva.
Chennai

The east coast container gateway. Routing here removes a transshipment on many Far East lanes.

Choosing the right gate
The ocean rate is rarely what decides the cheapest routing.
The inland leg, the clearance queue and the free days at destination usually matter more, and they pull in different directions. Mundra is normally the shortest road leg from Gujarat; Nhava Sheva carries services Mundra does not; Pipavav wins for Saurashtra on distance alone. We quote the alternatives whenever the difference is material rather than defaulting to the nearest gate.
Clearing at an inland depot instead of the port is the other decision worth making deliberately. It moves the paperwork away from gateway congestion and frequently saves a day.
A note on bulk ports
Several ports on this list — Sikka, Bedi, Navlakhi, Okha, Porbandar, Veraval, Magdalla, Beypore and Azhikkal among them — are notified ports that handle bulk, liquid and coastal cargo rather than containers. They are listed because exporters ask about them, and marked so nobody plans a container shipment through one.
On ports that do not exist yet
Vadhavan in Maharashtra is under construction and has no port code. Rewas and Kulpi appear on many published port lists but were never built. None of the three can take your cargo today.
