On May 26, 2025, the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), through the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), issued Notification No. 37/2025-Customs (N.T.) under the Customs Act, 1962. This notification amends the earlier Notification No. 12/97-Customs (N.T.), dated April 2, 1997, which lists designated customs stations across India. The amendment specifically pertains to the State of Maharashtra. Under serial number 9 of the Table in the original notification, a new entry—item (xviii)—has been added to include Jalna as a notified customs station. This designation authorizes Jalna for the unloading of imported goods and the loading of export goods or any class of such goods. This change formally recognizes Jalna as a customs location where import and export operations can be carried out, thereby expanding the logistical and trade capabilities within Maharashtra. The update aligns with the government’s continuing efforts to improve trade infrastructure and streamline customs operations across regions. The principal notification was last amended by Notification No. 05/2025-Customs (N.T.) dated January 28, 2025.
