Cleared, booked and shipped from one desk.
Customs clearance, ocean and air freight from any port in India, with base hubs at Tuticorin, Chennai and Mumbai Harbour.
Customs clearance
Import and export clearance handled by one team, so cargo reaches the port with the paperwork already right.
Every consignment that crosses an Indian border needs a customs broker who knows the filing, the duty and the documents. We file, classify and clear on your behalf, and we also clear cargo for exporters who ship through their own contracts.
You deal with one contact. We check documents before filing, so queries at the port are rare and answered the same day.
