What we do

Four ways we move your cargo to India

Most customers start with airport-to-airport and move to door-to-door DDP once volume becomes regular.

Air Freight Consolidation

Daily consolidations on scheduled carriers. Best rate per kilo for shipments from 45 kg upward.

Door-to-Door DDP

We collect at your factory and deliver duty paid to the consignee's door. You quote one all-in price to your buyer.

Customs Clearance

Export clearance in China and import clearance in India — IEC, AD code, BOE filing, duty calculation, BIS-restricted goods advice.

Special & Sensitive Cargo

Lithium batteries, power banks, cosmetics, liquids, magnets and branded goods — routed on the channels that will actually accept them.

Why shippers stay with us

One lane, done properly

We are not a general forwarder that also happens to do India. China to India is the lane we run every day, which is why our quotes hold and our clearance does not stall.

  • Quotes inside 2 working hours. All-in pricing — no surprise fuel, security or handling lines at the end.
  • Indian customs handled by our own broker network. IEC and AD code checks before the cargo flies, not after it lands.
  • Honest advice on restricted goods. If your product needs BIS registration or will not clear, we tell you before you pay.
  • Pickup anywhere in China. Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Fujian — factory collection with photo confirmation.
  • One WhatsApp thread per shipment. Status updates from pickup to POD, in your time zone.

Cargo we move most weeks

Electronics and accessories, LED lighting, machinery spares, textile and garment samples, auto parts, medical consumables, e-commerce replenishment stock and trade-show shipments.

How it works

From your factory to their warehouse

Six steps. You are told what is happening at each one.

Quote & booking

Send weight, dimensions, commodity and destination. We come back with an all-in rate and a flight plan.

Pickup & packing check

We collect from your supplier, weigh and measure, photograph the cartons and confirm the chargeable weight.

Export clearance

Customs declaration in China, dangerous-goods paperwork where needed, airline booking confirmed with AWB.

Flight & tracking

Departure and arrival confirmed the same day they happen. You get the AWB number to track independently.

Indian customs & delivery

BOE filing, duty settlement, and delivery to the consignee's door with proof of delivery.

Documents & invoice

Full document set and a single invoice you can reconcile line by line. No retroactive charges.

What customers say

Shippers who stayed after the first consignment

Replace these with real quotes before launch — ask three existing customers for two sentences each.

Placeholder testimonial. Ask a customer what problem you solved and quote them directly — the specific detail is what makes it believable.

Customer nameRole, Company — Delhi, India

Placeholder testimonial. A line about response speed or a clearance that could have gone wrong is worth more than praise about professionalism.

Customer nameRole, Company — Mumbai, India

Placeholder testimonial. If a customer will let you name their company, that is worth three anonymous quotes.

Questions we get every week

China to India air freight FAQ

How is air freight cost calculated?

On chargeable weight: the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight, where volumetric weight = length × width × height in centimetres ÷ 6000. Light, bulky cargo is nearly always charged on volume, so send accurate carton sizes with your enquiry. Our chargeable weight calculator does the arithmetic for you.

What documents does my Indian consignee need?

At minimum: an Importer Exporter Code (IEC), an AD code registered at the port of import, a commercial invoice and packing list, and the airway bill. Certain categories additionally require BIS registration, a drug licence, or WPC/TEC approval. Send us the product description early and we will confirm before booking.

Can you ship lithium batteries and power banks?

Yes, on the correct channels and with the correct documentation — UN38.3 test report, MSDS and DG packing. Pure battery shipments, battery-in-equipment and battery-with-equipment are all handled differently, so tell us which one you have. Never declare batteries as general cargo; it is the fastest way to have a shipment seized.

What is the difference between DDU and DDP?

Under DDU your consignee pays Indian customs duty and IGST themselves at clearance. Under DDP we pay it and bill it back to you, so your buyer receives the goods with nothing further to pay. DDP is simpler for the buyer but requires accurate HS classification up front.

What is your minimum shipment size?

We take shipments from 21 kg. Below about 45 kg an express courier is usually cheaper and we will tell you so rather than sell you the wrong service. Above 100 kg, consolidated air freight is normally the best value.

Do you handle sea freight and sea-air as well?

Yes. If your cargo is not urgent, LCL and FCL ocean freight to Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Chennai and Kolkata will cost a fraction of air. Sea-air via Southeast Asia sits between the two on both price and speed. Ask us to price all three and pick.

How do I track my shipment?

You get the 11-digit air waybill number as soon as the booking is confirmed, and you can check it independently on any AWB tracking service. See our Track & Trace page, or send us the number and we will pull the status for you.

Have a shipment to price?

Send the weight, dimensions, commodity and destination city. You will have a firm all-in rate the same working day.
