## Interactive Tools

- [Customs Exchange Rates](https://msmehta.in/customs-exchange-rate/): Customs Exchange Rates are sourced from official CBIC notifications issued under the Exchange Rate Automation Module (ERAM). Rates are updated in real time in accordance with the latest CBIC circulars and are mandatory for all foreign currency conversion calculations in Indian Customs as per Section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962. The applicable rate is determined based on the date of filing the Bill of Entry or Shipping Bill. RBI or market exchange rates are not legally valid hence they cannot be used for the same.

- [CBM Calculator](https://msmehta.in/cbm-calculator/): Used to calculate shipment volume and chargeable weight for air and sea freight consignments. Total volume is determined by multiplying Length × Width × Height × Quantity (in cm³). For sea freight, volumetric weight is calculated by dividing total volume by 5000, while for air freight it is calculated by dividing total volume by 6000. In air shipments, the chargeable weight is the higher of the actual gross weight or the volumetric weight.

- [Container Tracking](https://msmehta.in/container-tracking/): Enables real-time tracking of sea cargo across 200+ global shipping lines using either the Container Number or Bill of Lading (BL) Number. The tool provides live vessel location with map views and detailed shipment information including vessel name, voyage number, current location, transshipment ports, Port of Loading (POL) and Port of Discharge (POD), Estimated Time of Departure (ETD), Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), and delays.
