 The Customs procedures given below pertain to:

  Courier-On-Board Imports (COB) - To enable speedy clearance of loads, the Courier Imports Regulation 87/98 (formerly known as 35/95) was introduced by the Government of India. This regulation stipulates that:

     The Courier company be an authorised courier, registered with the customs and bound by
       certain requisite obligations.
     The Courier shipments arrive at the Passenger Terminal.
     The Courier shipments are broken up into the following categories:
              I Documents
            II Gifts and Samples (Up to the value of Indian Rupees 10,000/-).
          III All other shipments.

  Imports Consolidation: Orbit Express Limited has designated certian agents for receiving import consolidations.

Consolidated shipments for various destinations across India are received at Mumbai. On receipt of the shipment, these agents send a Cargo Arrival Notice to the consignee, and would await any of the following instructions.

	Transhipment of the shipment to international customs airports in India. If the Consignee requires this facility, the consignment is transhipped for self-clearance by the Consignee.
	Clearance by the Consignee's own customs house agent. In this case, the Delivery Order and documentation would be handed over to the appointed agent for clearance.
	Clearance by the agents, and reforwarding thereafter to the final destination. Additional charges would apply for this service, subject to the customs documentation involved.
