Sourcing, consolidation, customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery. One operating partner across every step of your shipment.
From supplier link to your warehouse door — every step handled by one team.
7 steps. One team. China to India doorstep delivery.
Where we collect, how fast each lane moves, and exactly which papers clear it. No guesswork, no surprises at the airport.
Supplier pickup across mainland China and Hong Kong. You never arrange domestic Chinese freight, and multiple suppliers merge into one consignment at our warehouse.
Door delivery nationwide — homes, warehouses, factories, offices and retail stores. Remote, hill and North-East pincodes included at a zone rate.
Small parcels, samples and documents. Fastest door-to-door, priced per kg with no minimum.
Bulk shipments where speed still matters. Per-kg rate drops sharply as weight climbs.
Heavy or low-value volume where landed cost beats speed. Quoted per shipment.
We prepare and file these. You supply KYC before the cargo lands — that single step is what prevents almost every clearance delay.
Each buyer type gets a different level of sourcing support, clarity, and follow-up.
No hidden fees. Know your full cost before you commit.
Not just freight booking — a complete operating partner from China to your door.
Quick check to see if your cargo fits our standard workflow.
We move the cargo ourselves — real weight slabs, volumetric billing, customs duty and GST, all in one door-to-door rate. No dropship middleman marking up someone else's invoice. Indicative; exact quote confirmed on WhatsApp.
Pills update live from the rate engine. BCD/SWS/IGST are planning figures until HS code is confirmed.
Every legal shipment from China to India is assessed on an official Bill of Entry. Here is the exact, sanitized anatomy of a live cleared CBE-XIV document showing how customs valuation and taxes work.
| Duty Head | Rate % / Basis | Calculation Rule | Taxable Base (INR) | Duty Amount (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BCD Basic Customs Duty | 25.0% Ad-valorem | 25% of Assessable Value (CIF) | ₹3,13,209.74 | ₹85,260.00 |
| SWS Social Welfare Surcharge | 10.0% on BCD | 10% of ₹85,260.00 BCD | ₹85,260.00 | ₹8,526.00 |
| AIDC Agri Infrastructure Cess | 0.0% (Nil) | Not applicable for this HSN | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 |
| IGST Integrated Goods & Services Tax | 3.0% (Jewelry) | 3% on Duty-Paid Value (AV + BCD + SWS) | ₹4,06,995.74 | ₹12,210.00 (100% ITC Claimable) |
Customs levies duty on Assessable Value = FOB + 20% Freight + 1.125% Insurance. Landing charges are ₹0.
SWS is always calculated as 10% of BCD amount (not of the entire invoice value).
IGST is calculated on (CIF + BCD + SWS). GST registered businesses can claim 100% of IGST back as input tax credit.
Once duty is electronically paid on ICEGATE, Customs issues OOC for direct handover to domestic logistics.

We buy and consolidate cargo (Alibaba, 1688, Taobao, factories), run pre-dispatch QC proof, move it on published air lanes from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, coordinate Indian customs, and deliver metro / Tier-2 / remote India.
Chargeable kg = higher of actual and volumetric (L×B×H÷5000). Freight from the live rate card (W.E.F. 2 Jun 2026, FSC included). Clearance ₹1k / ₹3k by goods value. Duty: CIF → BCD → SWS 10% → IGST 18% — indicative until HS code.
First-time personal importers (eligible cargo, no IEC when rules allow), GST restocks, and multi-seller consolidators who need one WhatsApp thread instead of four vendors.
Freight, handling, and clearance from our card are firm for the quoted band. Customs duty and goods IGST stay planning figures until classification is confirmed — we say so on every estimate.
