Logistics, Warehousing & Customs

Freight coordination, warehousing, and customs clearance across the India-Europe corridor, managed as one accountable engagement.

The factory isn't where sourcing goes wrong. The port is.

A well-made product can still arrive late, misclassified, or stuck in customs, and the cost of that failure rarely shows up until the shipment is already at sea.

Freight, warehousing, and customs clearance across the India-Europe corridor require coordination between freight forwarders, customs brokers, and warehousing partners on both ends, and a single point of accountability when something does not go to plan.

One shipment, one accountable partner, not four vendors passing the blame.

What We Deliver

What the engagement covers.

Six structured deliverables covering freight, warehousing, and customs across the India-Europe trade corridor.

01

Freight Forwarding and Mode Selection

Coordinating sea and air freight options across the India-Europe corridor, balancing cost, transit time, and cargo type to select the right mode for each shipment.

02

Customs Classification and Documentation

Correct HS code classification, export and import documentation, and coordination with licensed customs brokers on both the Indian and European side of the shipment.

03

Warehousing and Distribution Setup

Access to bonded and contract warehousing in India and Europe, for companies that need short-term storage, consolidation, or a distribution point closer to end customers.

04

Cold Chain and Specialised Logistics

Coordination for temperature-controlled and specialised cargo, including agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, and perishables, where standard freight handling is not sufficient.

05

Duty Optimisation and Trade Compliance

Reviewing applicable tariffs, free trade agreement eligibility, and duty drawback schemes to reduce landed cost without creating compliance exposure.

06

Shipment Tracking and Exception Management

Real-time coordination and escalation when a shipment is delayed, held at customs, or damaged in transit, with a single point of contact managing resolution rather than the client chasing multiple vendors.

Ideal Client Profile

Built for companies like yours.

We work with traders and manufacturers who need the India-Europe corridor managed as one engagement, not four separate vendor relationships.

  • You are shipping between India and Europe for the first time and need the customs and documentation side handled correctly.
  • A recent shipment was delayed or held at customs and you want to understand why before it happens again.
  • You need warehousing in India or Europe as part of a distribution strategy, not just a single shipment.
  • Your product requires cold chain or specialised handling that a generic freight forwarder has struggled with.
  • You are working with multiple logistics vendors across the corridor and want one point of accountability instead.
Common Questions

Moving goods. Answered.

How long does sea freight take between India and Europe?

Typically three to five weeks port to port, depending on the origin and destination ports and whether the route is direct or transshipped, with additional time for customs clearance on both ends.

What documents are required to export from India to Europe?

Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin, and any product-specific certifications required for EU entry, such as phytosanitary certificates for agricultural goods. Requirements vary meaningfully by product category.

Can you help reduce the customs duty we pay on shipments?

In many cases, yes, through correct HS code classification, checking free trade agreement eligibility, and reviewing whether duty drawback or bonded warehousing options apply to your shipment pattern.

Do you handle cold chain logistics for agricultural or perishable goods?

Yes, in coordination with our logistics partners across the corridor, for temperature-controlled transport and storage of agricultural products, food, and pharmaceuticals.

What happens if a shipment gets held at customs?

Our team manages the resolution directly with the customs broker and relevant authority, keeping you informed rather than leaving you to chase the freight forwarder, the broker, and the warehouse separately.
