What is ICD?

ICD stands for Inland Container Depots. They are located inland and far from seaports. ICD is a term used in Indian trade to describe imports and exports of goods from the sea. ICD is a way for importers and exporters to manage their shipments close to where they live. Join our advanced export import management course and learn more about ICD. The Inland Container Depot (ICD) helps importers and exporters save time and money in procedures and formalities if the seaport is far away from their places of business. Get our export-import training program and learn more about international trade. To facilitate exporters and importers, Inland Container Depot (ICD) combines the services of sea custodians, customs departments, carriers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, etc. Many countries also use ICD as a dry port or a container freight station. Exporters can place their cargo inside the containers at ICDs before they are sent to the ports and loaded onto the ships. ICDs store containers temporarily until they can be moved to the ports for loading. In addition to providing storage, ICDs can also facilitate export and import customs clearances, as all the services provided by ports can also be obtained by ICDs that are located away from ports.
