Essential Customs Filings

Import Customs Clearance Services
Navigating the complexities of Indian import regulations requires deep expertise. When goods arrive at an Indian seaport, airport, or land border, they are subject to strict scrutiny by customs authorities. Any error in documentation or misclassification can lead to severe delays, heavy demurrage charges, or even cargo confiscation. Our dedicated custom experts ensure a frictionless import process from start to finish.
Our Comprehensive Import Clearance Process
- HSN Classification & Tariff Advice: Our dedicated custom experts classify your products under the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) codes. This ensures you pay the legally accurate Basic Customs Duty (BCD) and IGST, while preventing future audit disputes.
- Bill of Entry (BoE) Filing: Our dedicated custom experts handle Prior, Advance, and Regular Bill of Entry submissions directly on the ICEGATE portal. By filing advance BoEs before vessel arrival, our dedicated custom experts significantly reduce clearance turnaround times.
- FTA & Duty Exemption Utilization: Our dedicated custom experts help importers leverage Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPA), and Preferential Trade Agreements (PTA) by ensuring valid Certificates of Origin (COO) are applied to legally reduce or eliminate import duties.
- Specialized Clearances (SVB, EPCG, Advance Authorization): For multinational companies transferring goods between related entities, our dedicated custom experts handle Special Valuation Branch (SVB) procedures and also manage duty-free clearances under EPCG and Advance License schemes for manufacturers.
- Customs Examination & OOC: Our dedicated custom experts and field agents physically coordinate with port authorities for seamless cargo examinations, scanning, and sampling (like FSSAI, Plant Quarantine, or ADC), rapidly securing the final 'Out of Charge' (OOC) order so your goods can be dispatched to your warehouse.
Export Customs Clearance Services
Exporting goods from India demands precise compliance with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and Customs laws. Whether you are shipping standard commercial goods, temperature-sensitive perishables, or hazardous materials, our dedicated custom experts ensure your cargo meets all regulatory requirements before it is loaded onto a vessel or aircraft.
Our Comprehensive Export Clearance Process
- Shipping Bill Generation: Based on your Commercial Invoice and Packing List, our dedicated custom house agents instantly file the Shipping Bill on ICEGATE and handle all types of shipping bills: Free Shipping Bills, Dutiable Shipping Bills, and Ex-Bond Shipping Bills.
- Export Incentives Management: Our dedicated custom house agents ensure your Shipping Bills are filed accurately to claim vital government export incentives and manage the documentation for Duty Drawback, RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products), and RoSCTL schemes, ensuring the benefits are credited directly to your ledger.
- Factory & Dock Stuffing: Our dedicated custom house agents provide comprehensive support for both factory-stuffed containers (coordinating with central excise/customs inspectors at your premises) and dock-stuffed cargo (handling the consolidation and packing at the port CFS).
- Let Export Order (LEO): Our on-ground port teams manage the physical verification of containers, seal checking, and document validation by customs officers to obtain the final 'Let Export Order' (LEO)—the ultimate permission to load your cargo.
- Export General Manifest (EGM) Integration: Post-sailing, our custom experts rigorously track and ensure that the carrier files the EGM with customs. A successful EGM integration is mandatory for the closure of your export cycle and the realization of your export incentives.
