ABC Services holds CHA Licence R44/2006 and has operated from Dwarka, New Delhi for 30 years, filing bills of entry and shipping bills directly on ICEGATE.

What Is a CHA (Customs House Agent)?

A Customs House Agent is a person or firm licensed under the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations to handle customs formalities on behalf of importers and exporters. In practice, the CHA is the one who files your bill of entry or shipping bill, calculates and pays duty, attends examinations, and gets your cargo released. To file on someone else’s behalf, the CHA must hold a valid licence and file on ICEGATE using a registered digital signature. Without that, nobody can legally clear your shipment for you.

CHA Agent Delhi: How to Verify a Licence

Before you hand a shipment to any CHA agent in Delhi, ask for the licence number. A genuine broker gives it to you without hesitation — ours is R44/2006, and we share it with every new client upfront. Be careful with agents who will not share a licence number, or who route everything through unnamed sub-agents. If your shipment gets stuck, you want one licensed person accountable — not a chain of phone numbers.

Licensed CHA vs Freight Forwarder Middleman

Many businesses calling themselves “agents” are actually freight forwarders who pass your clearance work to a licensed CHA you have never met. There is nothing illegal about a forwarder coordinating clearance, but you should know exactly who is filing your bill of entry and signing for it. With ABC Services, the licensed CHA is us. We file directly — no middlemen between you and customs, no added delay at every step, and one party accountable for the whole job.

ICEGATE and EDI Filing — Why Direct Filing Matters

All customs clearance in India runs through ICEGATE. We file directly on the portal with our own digital signature, using proper EDI-based filing software rather than manual data entry. Why does this matter to you? Direct filing means we track your shipment in real time, respond to customs queries the same day, and fix errors fast. Manual data entry is where typos in invoice values and HS codes happen — and those typos become duty disputes that cost you weeks.

Is a CHA licence mandatory for customs clearance?

To file a bill of entry or shipping bill on someone else’s behalf, yes — the filer must hold a valid CHA licence (or be the importer/exporter filing for themselves). ABC Services holds CHA Licence R44/2006.

How do I check if a CHA licence is genuine?
