📦 Factory Stuffing – Self-Sealing Permission
DGFT EXIM | Expert Assistance for Self-Sealing Approval & Compliance
Factory Stuffing is the process of directly loading export goods into containers at the exporter's factory premises, rather than at the port or container freight station (CFS). To streamline export logistics and reduce handling costs, exporters can obtain Self-Sealing Permission from the customs department, enabling them to seal containers at their premises without the physical presence of customs officers.
📌 What is Factory Stuffing – Self-Sealing Permission?
This permission allows exporters to:
Factory Stuffing
Stuff goods into containers at their factory or warehouse
Self-Sealing

Direct Transport
