Set up to import or export, without a customs surprise later.
HS code classification, customs documentation, AD code and DGFT setup, incoterms guidance and ongoing compliance consulting — the groundwork that keeps a shipment from getting stuck at the port.
- HS code classification — the top cause of customs delays, done right
- Landed cost modelled up front, so pricing reflects the real number
- Coverage
- Documentation, DGFT/AD code & incoterms
- Format
- One-time setup or ongoing advisory
Government and statutory fees, where applicable, are separate.
Everything import/export setup should include — and usually doesn’t.
HS code classification
Correct Harmonized System codes identified for your products — the single biggest cause of customs delays and duty disputes when done wrong.
Customs documentation
Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and shipping bills prepared to the standard customs actually expects.
DGFT & AD code setup
IEC, AD code linking and any scheme registration set up so you can legally ship from day one.
Incoterms guidance
Plain-English explanation of who's responsible for freight, insurance and risk at each stage — FOB, CIF, DDP and the rest — before you agree terms with a buyer or supplier.
Landed cost calculation
Duty, freight, insurance and clearance costs modelled up front, so your pricing reflects the real delivered cost, not just the product price.
Ongoing compliance consulting
A point of contact for the questions that come up mid-shipment — the ones that don't fit neatly into a one-time registration.
Sourcing and shipping, handled.
Importing, freight forwarding and customs paperwork — managed so your stock arrives without the headaches.
- Vetted suppliers and quality checks
- Freight, customs and duties coordinated
- Landed-cost clarity before you commit
The team serious brands pick for import/export setup.
We deliver import/export setup as part of one accountable in-house team — designers, developers and marketers in the same room — across the USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Australia and India. Fixed prices agreed in writing, and you own everything we produce.
Fixed fees, government charges shown separately
Our service fee is quoted upfront; any DGFT, GST or FSSAI government charge is shown separately so you're never guessing what's ours and what's the department's.
One point of contact, not a chain of agents
Sourcing, freight, customs and registration handled by one accountable team instead of a supplier's agent, a freight forwarder and a filing consultant who don't talk to each other.
Documents checked before filing
Applications are reviewed against the actual requirement list before submission — the single biggest reason filings get rejected or delayed.
Queries handled, not forwarded to you
When DGFT, GST or FSSAI raises a clarification, we respond directly rather than passing a confusing notice back to you to decode.
Built for India, the USA and the UK
Sourcing and freight routes into three markets, plus the India-specific compliance — IEC, GST, FSSAI — that governs shipping out of and into the country.
Honest about timelines
Government and customs timelines are set by the relevant authority, not by us — we give you the real range up front instead of promising a date we don't control.
Trusted by teams across six markets
Why import/export setup is one of the smartest investments you’ll make.
Not a cost to minimise — money that comes back, in ways you can point to a year from now.
Fewer customs delays
Correct HS codes and complete documentation prepared up front mean fewer shipments held at port while paperwork gets fixed after the fact.
One vendor, one invoice
Sourcing, freight and compliance under one engagement cuts the coordination overhead of managing several separate vendors and reconciling separate bills.
A registration that's actually usable
An IEC linked to an AD code, or a GST registration with returns actually filed, is worth more than a certificate sitting unused because a follow-up step was never done.
Landed cost you can price against
Duty, freight and clearance modelled before you commit means your pricing reflects the real delivered cost, not a guess that erodes margin later.
Fewer penalties for missed deadlines
Return filing and licence renewal tracked on a calendar avoids the late fees and lapses that come from a compliance date nobody was watching.
A relationship that outlasts one filing
The same team that registers you is available for the next renewal, amendment or shipment — not a one-off filing service you have to re-explain your business to.
How we deliver import/export setup — step by step.
Document check
We review what you already have against the exact requirement list, so you know upfront what's missing before we file anything.
Application preparation
Forms and supporting documents prepared and checked for errors that commonly cause a rejection or a query from the department.
Filing & follow-up
Submitted through the official portal and tracked; queries raised by the department are answered promptly on your behalf.
Approval & handover
Certificate or registration handed over with a plain-English explanation of what it covers and any ongoing compliance it creates.
The stack behind our import/export setup.
Proven, boring-in-a-good-way technology — chosen for speed, security and long-term maintainability, not résumé décor.

It's the internationally standardised number that tells customs what your product is, which determines the duty rate and whether it needs extra clearance. Get it wrong and a shipment can be delayed, re-classified or hit with a penalty.
