The problems importers face and how we fix them

The problem

“The container sat at the port, and now we owe for each day.”

A missing paper or a late truck keeps your box at the port. Demurrage and detention start to run.

How we fix it

We check your papers before the goods sail. We clear them at the port and move them to our warehouse once they are released. One team watches the whole run.

The problem

“Customs will not release it without BIS.”

Many products need a BIS mark or another approval before they can enter India. Finding out at the port is costly.

How we fix it

Goods not yet cleared for India can wait in our Free Trade Warehousing Zone. There they count as outside India, so no duty is due while you sort out the approval.

The problem

“Customs raised a query and opened the container.”

A question on the value or the product code holds your goods. Each day adds to the bill.

How we fix it

We check the invoice and the packing list before the goods leave. One team answers customs and books the truck for the release.

The problem

“We paid duty on the whole shipment, and it will take months to sell.”

The duty leaves your account the day the goods land. The stock sells slowly over the season.

How we fix it

Hold your goods in a customs bonded warehouse or our own Free Trade Warehousing Zone. You pay the duty lot by lot, as your buyers order.

The problem

“Our vendors keep blaming each other.”

Your forwarder, customs agent, transporter and godown each do their part. Nobody owns the gaps between them.

How we fix it

Freight, customs, warehousing and transport sit with one partner. One team answers for every handover.

The problem

“The port is jammed, and our goods are stuck.”

Congestion at one port can hold your stock for days, far from your buyers.

How we fix it

We clear at every major port on both coasts. Your goods can land where the route is clear and close to your buyers. Then our trucks bring them on by road.

The problem

“Once it lands, we lose sight of it.”

Your stock sits in one city and your orders come from another. Your records and your godown never agree.

How we fix it

Shipments, stock and orders sit on one screen. You see your stock in each city where we hold it.

Before the goods land

Which ports and airports do you clear at?
Every major port and airport in India. Our network page shows them on a map.
How do we avoid demurrage and detention?
Get the papers right before the goods sail. We check them early and book the truck for the release. Your goods leave the port as soon as customs lets them go.
Can imported inputs go straight to our plant?
Yes, and so can goods bought on the high seas. Our manufacturing logistics page shows how.
We are a brand from abroad with no company in India. Can you help?
Yes, through your Indian distributor or subsidiary. It imports the goods in its own name. We clear, store and deliver them for it.

After the goods land

Can we pay the duty only when our stock sells?
Yes. Keep the goods in a customs bonded warehouse or our own Free Trade Warehousing Zone. You pay the duty lot by lot as they go out. Our import distribution page explains which one suits you.
Can you send imported stock to Amazon, Flipkart and quick commerce platforms?
Yes, from the same stock that serves your dealers. Our marketplace fulfilment page shows how.
Which cities can we keep our stock in?
We have warehouses in the main cities across India. Keep stock in one city or in many, and see all of it on one screen.
Will we see where our goods are?
Yes. You follow each shipment from your supplier's door. Once it lands, you see your stock in each city on the same screen.
