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.
