The CHENNAI CUSTOM HOUSE AGENTS’ ASSOCIATION android application.

The CHENNAI CUSTOM HOUSE AGENTS’ ASSOCIATION was founded on the 1958 with a limited and handful of Members by visionaries who had unlimited visions for the future of our fraternity.

It is with pride we share that it was this Association that conceived, created and conducted the C&F Scheme of the Port for decades in the most professional manner. Tempted by the successful manning and managing of the labour pool with a very healthy balance sheet, the Port decided and took over the entire Scheme from the Association which subsequently was merged with the Port Dock Labour Board.

We are a 60 year young Association that was instrumental in many Policy changes of the Nation so far as EXIM trade is concerned.

The Association was renamed as “CHENNAI CUSTOM HOUSE AGENTS’ ASSOCIATION’ in the year 1998 and registered as a Society under Societies Act.

Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association, Bye Laws, Rules & Regulations and Code of Conducts were created.
