Operating notes for exporters routing through Krishnapatnam Port
When you file a shipping bill at Krishnapatnam Port, your bill carries the port code INKRI1. 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 port runs through the Custom House, Krishnapatnam. For RoDTEP-related queries specifically, raise tickets through your CHA; direct exporter representation is accepted but slower.
Reconciliation tips for Krishnapatnam Port
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.
