Overview

Coordination that keeps a trade moving

We support commercial buyers and suppliers with import and export trading. Our role is to keep specification, quotation, documentation and shipment planning connected, so that nothing is lost between the people involved.

We do not claim approvals or certifications on behalf of products. If a product needs a certificate for your market, we will ask you for the requirement and tell you what is realistic.

Import and export support

Every shipment depends on an agreed specification, correct commercial documents and a clear view of destination requirements.

Exporting from India involves several parties: the supplier, the exporter, a freight forwarder or shipping line, customs on both sides, and the buyer. Misunderstandings at any step cause delay, so it helps to have one party coordinating the flow of information.

Typical export documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, shipping bill and bill of lading or airway bill, with a certificate of origin and other certificates where the destination requires them. Requirements differ by country and product, so confirm them for your market before ordering.

Shipping terms, often expressed as Incoterms such as FOB or CIF, define who pays for and carries the risk of each stage. Agreeing them in the quotation avoids disputes later.
