All Chinese cargo being checked following nationwide risk alert

The India-wide 100% physical inspection of Chinese imports, which has been leading to delays in the release of cargo, was sparked by an IT system-based alert. All ports, including Nhava Sheva, Mumbai and Kolkata, as well as airports have initiated physical checks since Monday midnight, customs sources said. Chennai port was the first to start inspecting all Chinese cargo and other ports followed suit.
