Overview & methodology
How to read India Port Codes
The first two characters represent the country (IN for India). The next three characters represent the location, and the final character indicates the type of customs station: 1 for a sea port (INNSA1 Nhava Sheva, INMUN1 Mundra, INMAA1 Chennai), 4 for an air cargo complex (INDEL4 Delhi, INBOM4 Mumbai), 6 for an inland container depot or SEZ (INTKD6 Tughlakabad, INPPG6 Patparganj, INWFD6 Whitefield) and B for a land customs station (INPTPB Petrapole, INRXLB Raxaul).
Numerical Example: Common Port Codes
Codes are typically formed as 'IN' (Country) + 3-char City + 1-char numeric/alpha suffix.

Frequently asked questions
What are ICEGATE port codes?
ICEGATE (Indian Customs EDI Gateway) port codes are 6-character unique identifiers for every customs location in India (sea ports, airports, ICDs, land customs stations). They are used in Shipping Bills, Bills of Entry, and all customs declarations to specify the place of export/import.
Where do I find the port code for my shipment?
Use this tool to search by port name (e.g., 'Chennai', 'Mumbai'). The code is displayed in the results. Common codes: INMAA01 (Mumbai), INCAL01 (Calcutta), INMAA04 (Chennai), INMAA16 (Cochin). Always verify with your customs broker.
Do I need different codes for sea, air and rail?
Yes. Each mode has its own code. For example, sea export from Mumbai is INMAA01, but air export is INMAA03. Land customs stations (for overland trade with neighbors) also have specific codes. Use the right code for your mode of transport.
