Tiruchi: Bonded trucking service from the Tiruchi Airport commenced in Tiruchi on Friday with the first cargo consignment booked from Chennai to Hanoi being lifted by the Air Asia’s Kuala Lumpur flight from here.
The consignment of 2.2 tonnes of finished leather goods was cleared by Customs at Chennai and sent to Tiruchi in a sealed truck. After verification of papers and scanning of the cargo, it was lifted by the airline to Kuala Lumpur en route to Hanoi.
This is the first consignment of cargo sent by bonded trucking after the opening of the air cargo complex at the airport here in December 2011. With this Tiruchi becomes a gateway for bonded trucking. The service helps exporters to complete the export procedure in the city where the cargo originates after due Customs clearance. For instance, consignments from Karur, Tirupur or even Coimbatore can be sent through bonded trucking after being cleared by the Customs at inland container terminals, airport sources said.
