Surat Hira Bourse is a Customs Clearance Centre serving the Gems & Jewellery sector. It was the first and is still the only such Centre in Surat and is a unique facility functioning for about fifteen years. Surat Hira Bourse has made a very big contribution to the growth and development of the Diamond Cutting & Polishing Industry as well as the Jewellery sector of India and of Surat in particular.

Earlier, before SHB came into existence, importers and exporters of Surat had to get the consignments cleared from Mumbai International Airport and carry the precious cargo between Mumbai and Surat – a risky proposition.

SHB offers a wide range of facilities such as

• Import / Export of precious cargo
• Strong room with vaults
• Full custom services
• Complete security
• Adequate insurance cover for the safety of parcels
• Valuable parcels are carted & transported by a reputed secured transportation company

SHB is thus providing very valuable service to the industry. It is also a boon to the overseas sellers of rough diamonds, precious stones, etc. It puts them in direct touch with the buyers and enables safe, transparent and reliable transactions.

SHB’s success can be gauged for the fact that it handles over 50% of India’s international diamond trade. During the year 2007-08, SHB handled transactions valued at nearly US $ 6 billion.

Surat Hira Bourse (SHB) has recently been declared as the Port of Export by Union Ministry of Commerce, for exporting of gold, platinum, silver & diamond, studded jewellery, in addition to diamonds.

This will enable the jewellery manufacture of Surat to export jewellery directly to international market from SHB, instead of depending on Ahmedabad & / Mumbai for exporting jewelry.
