Kolkata is eastern India's gateway. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port runs two dock systems: the Kolkata Dock System on the Hooghly in the city itself, and the Haldia Dock Complex downstream, closer to the sea, which takes larger ships. Air cargo moves through Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU).
The port serves West Bengal and a wide hinterland: Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, the north-east, and Nepal and Bhutan beyond. The Kolkata region's own exports include jute products, tea, leather goods, engineering goods and processed food.
Our Kolkata office, on AJC Bose Road in central Kolkata, is a short drive from the Kidderpore and Netaji Subhas docks of the Kolkata Dock System. It books FCL, LCL and air shipments to the United States, whichever dock or airport the cargo leaves from. The port-pair pages below give the published transit range from Kolkata and Haldia to the main US ports. Importer Security Filing, the US customs entry (filed through licensed customs brokers) and final delivery are coordinated by our US offices.
Importer Security Filing (ISF): filed by Airlift USA as the NVOCC at least 24 hours before the container loads in India.
US customs clearance on arrival: the entry is filed through Airlift USA's licensed customs-broker network, under a power of attorney from the importer of record.
