WHAT IS CFS ??? CFS is a place where containers are stuffed, destuffed
and aggregation/segregation of export/import cargo
takes place. A CFS is an extended arm of Port/ICD/Air
Cargo Complex, where import/export goods are kept
till completion of their examination and clearance.
The imported goods can be immediately shifted from
the port to CFS, which also helps in the reduction of
port congestion.
CONTIII….
All the activities related to clearance of goods
for home consumption, warehousing, temporary
admissions, re-export, temporary storage for
onward transit and outright export and
transhipments take place from such stations.
Therefore, clearance of goods from CFS is an
important point of consideration for trade in
respect of export/ import cargo as it is the final
Customs contact point.
A CFS is an extension of a port/airport/LCS
(Land Customs Stations)/ICD customs station,
set up with the main objective of
decongesting the ports, where only a part of
the customs process mainly the examination
of goods is normally carried out by Customs.
Container Freight Stations are custom
bonded in-transit facilities.

The operations of the CFSs revolve around the following centres of activity:-
i) Rail Siding (in case of a rail based terminal) The place where container trains are received, dispatched
and handled in a terminal. Similarly, the containers are loaded on and unloaded from rail wagons at the siding through overhead cranes and / or other lifting equipments.
ii) Container Yard Container yard occupies the largest area in the CFS. It is
stacking area were the export containers are aggregated prior to dispatch to port, import containers are stored till Customs clearance and where empties await onward movement. Likewise, some stacking areas are earmarked for keeping special containers such as refrigerated, hazardous, overweight/over-length, etc.
CFS MULUND - INTRODUCTION Established in November 1991.
The Container Freight Station (CFS), Mulund is situated 29
Kms from Mumbai City on the Eastern Express Highway,
just 3 Kms short of Thane.
It spreads over an area of 35.88 acres (1,47,520 sq. Mtrs)
with the Indian Railways Central Line bisecting it into
Mulund (East) and Mulund (West). Mulund (West) spread
over 12.88 acres (51, 520 Sq. Mtrs) accommodates Export
Department and Mulund (E) covering 24 acres (96000 Sq.
Mtrs) has the Import Department of the CFS.
……………... CONTI
In November 1995, Mulund was notified as customs area for
the purpose of Import and CFS operations were expanded to
import as well, though only of certain specified cargo such
as waste paper, PVC resin, metal scrap, woolen rags etc.
Like exports, the import operations were initially limited to
de-stuffing of containers and examination / clearance of
cargo.
The Bills of entry were filed in the Customs House and
assessed by the respective appraising groups. The Customs
duty too was paid in the Custom House. In other words, the
CFS-Mulund (East) functioned as an integral part of the
Import Department of Bombay Custom House.
CUSTODIAN The Department has appointed Container Corp. of India (CONCOR),
a Government of India Undertaking under the Ministry of Railways,
as the custodian of the Customs area notified at Mulund for the
purpose of stuffing, de-stuffing, examination and clearance of
containerized cargo.
However, CONCOR has, from the very beginning, entered into an
agreement with Indira Rashtriya Kamgar Sahakari Society Ltd.
(IRKSS), ( a Mulund based entity with former Maharashtra Chief
Minister/Defence Minister Shri Sharad Pawar as its honorary
president), and thereby entrusted the latter with nearly all the CFS
operations like handling and transportation of containers from
Mulund to Nhava Sheva/Mumbai port and vice versa as also of
handling of cargo within the CFS premises.
GATEWAY PORT / AIRPORT The containerized export cargo sealed at CFS feeds both the Nhava Sheva
and Mumbai Ports. The cargo moves by road on the trailers belonging to
M/s. Seaport Container Terminal Ltd. About 80% of the containers go to
Nhava Sheva Port and the remaining 20 % to Mumbai Port.
The import cargo on the other hand comes entirely from Nhava Sheva by
rail (90%) via Panvel, Diva and Thane (about 70 Km journey) as well as by
road (10%).
CONCOR has also been allowed to transport export cargo in Customs-
sealed trucks from CFS Mulund to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport,
Sahar (w. e. f. October 2000) and to Ahmedabad Airport (w. e. f. June
2001) for its shipment by air.
