Customs clearance starts with the right paperwork
By the time goods reach a port or airport, much of the information needed for customs should already be in place. Clear product descriptions, consistent commercial documents and the right supporting records help avoid questions that are harder to resolve at the last minute.
Precision clearance at Nhava Sheva (JNPT), Mumbai Air Cargo & major ICDs
Pre-filing bills of entry and shipping bills with automated Icegate integration to slash gate turnaround times and prevent demurrage.
Import clearance coordination
Import requirements depend on product classification, origin country, consignee IEC status, and regulatory agencies (FSSAI, ADC, CDSCO, EPR). We coordinate Icegate Bill of Entry filings, duty calculations, port gate inspections, and out-of-charge releases at JNPT and Mumbai Air Cargo.
Export documentation support
Exporters need commercial invoices, packing lists, shipping bills, certificates of origin, and bank documents aligned before cargo moves to the port gate. Preparing these early eliminates customs holds and ensures your goods make scheduled vessel or flight cut-offs.
Document checks that matter
Consignee name, IEC code, GSTIN, invoice value, gross/net weights, and harmonized system (HS) product descriptions must match exactly across all submitted records. A systematic pre-filing audit prevents expensive Icegate amendments and customs query holds.
Duties, classification and permits
Accurate 8-digit HS Code classification governs basic customs duty (BCD), integrated GST (IGST), social welfare surcharges, and antidumping levies. We assist with tariff verification and connect you with authorized CHA partners for formal appraisal.
Connecting clearance with freight movement
Customs work does not happen in isolation. Vessel or flight dates, arrival notices, cargo release and onward collection all affect timing. The shipment plan should make it clear who provides which documents and who takes responsibility for each step.
What to send with your enquiry
A useful starting pack includes cargo description, origin and destination, commercial invoice, packing information, expected arrival or departure date, and any known licence or permit requirements. If the goods are regulated or restricted, tell us before shipping.
