CHENNAI: The Chennai Zone of the Customs surpassed its target of revenue collection during the last financial year, netting Rs. 16,581 crore, Rs. 3,766 crore more than the previous year’s collection, Subash Chander, Chief Commissioner of Customs, Chennai Zone, said on Wednesday.

The Chennai Zone accounted for 16 per cent of the total Customs revenue collected in the country. It also recorded the maximum growth in terms of revenue mobilisation.

Motor vehicle, iron ore lump, iron ore fines, tobacco products, fish and fish products, knitted garments, marbles, woven garments, leather and footwear and granites were some of the commodities that were exported from Chennai. The Customs netted Rs. 43,176 crore from the exports.
Steps taken up by the Customs for quicker clearance of cargo and to cut the procedural bottlenecks had led to an unprecedented growth, Mr. Subash Chander said. At present, 99 per cent of the documentation was being done electronically. Documents of importers were processed and goods cleared through an electronic system.
