How shipping to India works
1. Cargo review
We check the product description, quantity, carton dimensions, gross weight, batteries or liquids, declared value and destination.
2. Route comparison
We compare suitable air, sea, express or consolidated options according to urgency, volume and cargo restrictions.
3. Import preparation
Prepare importer and customs details, commercial invoice, packing list, origin, classification and any BIS, labelling, WPC or sector approval that applies.
4. Dispatch from China
After approval, the cargo is prepared, handed to the selected carrier and linked to shipment tracking.
5. Customs and final delivery
Clearance and last-mile delivery follow the agreed Incoterm. Duties, taxes and inspections remain dependent on the official classification and customs decision.
Important points for the India market
Customs authority
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) administers customs. ICEGATE supports electronic customs processes.
Product compliance
BIS certification, Legal Metrology labels, wireless approvals, food, cosmetics, medical-device or other rules may apply by category.
No universal duty rate
Duty and tax cannot be calculated from the destination alone. The HS or tariff code, customs value, origin, product use and any current trade measures must be verified for the specific shipment.
