About Smart Logistics

A freight forwarder that runs one lane properly, rather than fifty lanes badly.

Who we are

Smart Logistics is a China-based freight forwarder specialising in shipments from China to India. We were set up by people who spent years watching the same problems repeat on this lane: quotes that changed after booking, cargo held because an AD code was never registered, and batteries declared as "electronic parts" until somebody opened the carton.

So we built the business around the opposite habits. Rates that hold. Paperwork checked before the cargo moves. And a straight answer when the shipment you are describing should not be flying at all.

How we are set up

Our operations team sits in China close to the origin airports, so bookings, pickups and export declarations are handled in the same time zone as your supplier. On the Indian side we work with licensed customs brokers at each major airport rather than one national agent — local presence is what gets a query answered the same day instead of the same week.

What we will not do

Under-declare value. Mis-describe restricted goods. Quote a rate we know will move. Freight is a repeat business; none of that survives a second shipment.

How we work

Four things we hold ourselves to

Answer fast

Enquiries answered within two working hours, and shipment questions the same day — including Indian office hours.

Quote all-in

One number covering everything we have agreed. If something genuinely changes we tell you before it is billed.

Check before we fly

Consignee IEC, AD code, HS classification and product restrictions verified while the cargo is still on the ground.

Say when it is wrong

If express or ocean is the better answer for your shipment, we will point you there instead of selling you air.

How we got here

Replace these entries with your own milestones. Customers read this to work out whether you have survived a peak season — dates matter more than adjectives.

If you have been trading for less than three years, keep this short and honest rather than padding it. A single line about the lane you have specialised in beats an invented timeline.
