Mumbai CSMIA (BOM) Air Cargo Storage Calculator
Estimate import storage/demurrage at BOM: chargeable weight × per-kg daily rate after the free period, with handler minimums.
Free time at BOM runs from cargo availability, not flight arrival. Rates are per kg of chargeable weight per day — pull the exact figures from your handler's published import tariff.

Demurrage, detention and storage tariffs are set by each carrier, terminal and contract and change frequently. The preloaded figures are editable industry-typical examples, not quotes — always verify against the current published tariff or your service contract before paying or disputing an invoice.
Every hour an import sits in a BOM shed past its free period costs money, and at Mumbai CSMIA — western India's premium air cargo gateway and the country's pharmaceutical export powerhouse — shed space is priced like the scarce commodity it is. This calculator turns the handler's tariff into a number before the invoice does.
About Mumbai CSMIA (BOM) Air Cargo Storage Calculator
Enter chargeable weight, days since availability, the free period and the handler's per-kg/day rate; the per-day minimum applies automatically. Pharma's share means strict GDP-compliant cool chains — and a costly mismatch when import cargo needing temperature control overstays into ambient-rate disputes. Strategy beats arithmetic here: pre-file customs entries before the flight lands, book collection for availability day, and treat the free period as deadline rather than buffer. The tariff is engineered so that using an airport shed as a warehouse is the most expensive storage decision available in the city.

Frequently asked questions
What would a 650 kg shipment held 6 days owe at BOM?+
With the defaults (3 free days, ₹7.5/kg/day, ₹550/day minimum): 3 chargeable days × ₹4,875 = ₹14,625. The per-kg figure governs because the shipment is heavy; light shipments usually hit the minimum instead.
Is BOM storage counted from flight arrival?+
No — from availability at the import shed. The flight can land Monday and the cargo become collectable Wednesday during a backlog; your free period starts Wednesday. Handlers' milestone systems record both times, and asking for that log is the first move in any BOM storage dispute.
Does temperature-controlled cargo pay extra storage at Mumbai?+
Yes — cool-chamber storage bills premium rates above the ambient ₹/kg/day demurrage, and pharma cargo can't simply be shifted to ambient to save money without breaking GDP custody. The practical answer is pre-arrival clearance (ICEGATE advance filing) so the cool chain hands over within the free period.
Can I reduce airport storage by clearing customs in advance?+
It's the single biggest lever. Pre-arrival filing (where the customs regime allows it) means the release exists before the cargo does, so collection can happen inside the free period. Most storage charges aren't caused by the tariff — they're caused by clearance starting only after the cargo became available.
