Operating notes for exporters routing through Kanpur ICD
When you file a shipping bill at Kanpur ICD, your bill carries the port code INKNU6. RoDTEP scrip issuance is triggered by EGM filing at this port and DGFT validation. Most of the operational issues we have seen at this port are gateway-specific and can be pre-empted with checklist discipline at filing time.
The customs house contact escalation path for this ICD runs through the ICD Kanpur (Sahibabad satellite). For RoDTEP-related queries specifically, raise tickets through your CHA; direct exporter representation is accepted but slower.
Reconciliation tips for Kanpur ICD
Three operational practices help reduce RoDTEP delays at this port:
- Insist on EGM filing confirmation by Day 5 post-departure. Carriers that consistently file later than Day 7 deserve a back-channel conversation.
- For container ports, reconcile container ID on the shipping bill against the Bill of Lading before vessel departure. Post-departure amendments cost time.
- For ICDs, confirm transit consignment notes are signed and uploaded to the ICD customs system before container leaves the ICD.
