FAQ
Customs Clearance FAQs
What is an IEC and do I need one?
The Importer Exporter Code (IEC) is issued by DGFT and is mandatory for most commercial imports and exports from India.
How long does customs clearance take in India?
Air shipments usually clear the same or next day; sea shipments 1–3 days, depending on assessment and examination.
Can you clear cargo that another forwarder shipped?
Yes. We offer standalone customs brokerage for any shipment arriving at or departing from our covered locations.
