Your Entire India Import Function — Outsourced

Running imports in-house means staffing for freight negotiation, compliance tracking, customs coordination, banking formalities and record-keeping — expertise most businesses don't need year-round. Our Outsourcing Imports service replaces all of it: you place the purchase order; we do everything else.

Who This Is Built For

  • Brands whose core skill is selling, not logistics — beauty, food, consumer electronics, instruments
  • Companies importing 2–15 shipments a month — too many to wing it, too few to justify a full import department
  • Foreign companies entering India who want one accountable partner instead of five vendors
  • Businesses burned by fragmented vendors — forwarder blaming broker blaming transporter

The Model

A fixed monthly retainer scaled to your shipment volume, plus pass-through of actual freight, duty and statutory costs — fully documented. You get a dedicated import coordinator, defined SLAs, and a single monthly invoice. You sell. We import.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from just using a freight forwarder?
A forwarder moves cargo. We run your import function — compliance calendars, banking regularisation, duty optimisation, records, reporting — the work an in-house import manager would do, delivered as a service.
What volume justifies outsourcing?
From roughly two shipments a month the economics work: the retainer typically costs less than a single import executive’s salary, while giving you a full specialist team.
Do we lose visibility of our own imports?
The opposite. You receive milestone updates on every shipment and a monthly MIS covering costs, duties and timelines — most clients see more clearly than they did in-house.
Can you take over mid-stream from our current vendors?
Yes. A structured 2–4 week transition maps your SKUs, compliance status and open shipments, after which we assume full operation without disrupting supply.
