A recent public notice by Tuticorin Customs giving more responsibilities to the operators of 13-odd container freight stations (CFSs) at the port has caused concern among traders. Stakeholders say it would make the operating procedure more complex and take away the advantages the export-import trade currently enjoys here. The Tuticorin Customs Brokers Association said the new measures would result in additional costs of $100-125
a container for freight operations (FOB), which include additional lift off/lift and transportation costs.
