Regarding the future aspects of Custom house agent [CHA]....Reply to Miss Rekha Inamdar

Miss Rekha Inamdar:- Hi Neutral Views, What is your opinion re Custom House Agents as a career choice? Is it a fulfilling and a rewarding career? What role do they perform in Customs?
Are they an important set of professionals?
Pls respond as my Son is currently employed with an old CHA business and some day he plans to branch out on his own.
With best regards and blessings for a good career.

Manmauji:- Hello Miss Rekha Inamdar, thanks for your visit on the blog and good wishes...Regarding your query, CHA has very important role to play in any customs house. They are the link between exporters/importers/manufacturers and the custom department as they have the responsibility to clear the goods after meeting customs clearances. They are regulated by CHALR,2004 [Customs house agents licensing regulations,2004]. As trade grows in India, CHAs are bound to flourish. They will get more and more work and hence can earn good amount of money. Thus we can say that they are very significant part of customs work and hence professionals too. Therefore I will suggest that one can start his/her own CHA work with promising and rewarding career of course with huge amount of responsibility towards custom department as enumerated in CHALR,2004.....further query is welcome...keep on blogging..

Dear Ms Inamdar
The Customs Deaprtment conducts an exam under RULE 8 OF CHALR REGULATIONS. This is a very technical field and hence requires in depth knowledge of not only Customs Laws and procedures but also relevant provisions of allied laws also.
There is an exam preparation book published by the Bombay Custom House Association compiled by Former Chief Commissioner of Customs of Mumbai, it will surely be a handy guide for your son. It has previous years Solved Question papers. The book is valued at Rs. 475/- and can be procured from the association office by sending a demand draft payable to “ The Bombay Custom House Agents Association”.
