For first-time exporters, it’s crucial to understand the basics of international shipping, including necessary registrations, customs documentation, compliance, and tariffs. Accurate paperwork and a reliable logistics partner are key for smooth operations. It’s also a good idea to meet your logistics partner in person to clarify any details and avoid misunderstandings.
Import duties are based on the value of the goods, shipping costs, and the destination country’s tariff system. You can use a customs duty calculator or consult with a customs expert to estimate the duties. We can help you with this as part of the shipping process.
Product compliance varies by product type. Start by identifying the correct HSN code and product description for your item. You can check compliance using online resources like ICEGATE and then confirm the details with your CHA (Customs House Agent). We’re here to guide you through any complexities in regulatory requirements.
Packaging standards depend on the product and the mode of transportation. Fragile items require protective packaging, and hazardous goods need specific containment. Ensuring compliance with these standards prevents damage and delays, and we can assist with packaging requirements that meet international shipping regulations.
We handle various cargo types, including dry goods, hazardous materials, perishables, ODC (Over-Dimensional Cargo), bulk, breakbulk, and exhibition logistics, among others. Whether you're shipping small parcels or large bulk items, we have flexible solutions to suit your needs. Check out our service pages for more details.
Shipping rates are based on the cargo’s weight, volume, destination, and chosen service (e.g., air, sea). Rates may vary depending on specific needs like urgency or special handling. We can provide a custom quote based on the specifics of your shipment.
Volume for both sea and air shipments is calculated using the cargo’s final package dimensions and the number of packages. For air freight, dimensional weight may apply, while sea freight uses cubic measurements. You can use online calculators or contact us for help in obtaining accurate measurements.
Yes, LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments can be shipped globally. However, unlike FCL (Full Container Load), LCL shipments are generally consolidated at base ports, so even if your package is located in a remote area, it can be transported to the nearest port for loading.
Third-country exports involve shipping goods from one country to another, but through a third country. We handle the necessary documentation and routing for third-country exports, making the process smooth and compliant.

The best shipping option depends on your cargo’s type, urgency, and cost considerations. We offer air, sea, and road freight options, each with its advantages. A logistics expert can help you choose the most appropriate solution based on your specific needs.
Re-import and re-export shipments require precise coordination and documentation, including consents and reasons for the process. We handle the required customs guidance and ensure smooth execution of re-import or re-export shipments.
FTWZ (Free Trade and Warehousing Zones) allow goods to be stored and moved without incurring import duties or taxes. While warehouse costs may increase slightly, it simplifies the customs process for international trade. Contact us to learn how to make the most of FTWZ zones.

If the destination airport has fewer flight frequencies, we ensure that your goods are routed via a connecting location with better availability. This ensures timely delivery and minimizes delays.
