Minimum requirement of land regarding guidelines, norms for setting up of
ICDs/ CFS
Circular No. 57 dated 5th
December 1996
I am directed to
refer D.O. letter No. 16/ 5/ 92 - Infra I, dated 6.1.94 received from Director
(Infra-I) on the above subject. The issue was examined in consultation with
various Commissioners of Customs and Director General of Inspection. On the
basis of views expressed by the field formations it has been observed that there
is a need to provide norms regarding minimum land requirement for ICDs/ CFS. At
the time of setting up ICD/ CFS not only the present requirement is to be taken
into consideration but also the future expansions are required to be kept in
mind.
2. This
department is the view that for ICDs/ (which would include CFS) proposed to be
set up outside the limits of major cities a minimum area of 4 to 5 acres of land
is required and for ICD inside such city limits/ port areas like Jawaharlal
Nehru Port, a minimum area of 1 acre (about 4500 sq.m) of land is required.
3. The
above norms would enable the proper functioning of the ICD and would enable this
department to use its human resources more effectively.
