International shipping guide to India

If you plan to make international shipments of goods to India for business purposes, you’ll find many insights on this page to help you. Our guide includes information about shipping standards and customs regulations, details of some of the most popular trade lanes for imports to India, and a guide to transit times when shipping your goods using ocean freight and air freight services.

Import Rules and Regulations for Freight to India

The Indian government has been progressively simplifying and streamlining import procedures over the last few years, slowly positioning the country as one that is relatively friendly to international businesses. Steps have included eliminating import licensing for many types of consumer product and procedural improvements to facilitate import clearances.

For example, an electronic data Interchange (EDI) system enables your freight forwarder to submit import declarations for you in advance of the goods’ arrival at the border, thus reducing the time required for shipments to clear customs.

To simplify the process even further, your import declaration, known as a bill of entry in India, includes a facility to self-assess the amount of duty and tax you must pay. It is also possible to pay the duties electronically.

However, anyone shipping commercial goods into India will need to obtain an importer and exporter code (IEC) from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade in India. If you are exporting to India, your business will not need an IEC, but the importer with whom you are trading must have one.

While India may be one of the more straightforward countries to export or import to, it is also one of the more expensive. Duty tariffs currently stand at around 15%, although plans are in place to reduce these rates, in line with commitments made to the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Documents Required for Shipments to India

Your freight shipments to India will need to be accompanied by a range of documents, as is the case with most countries, but a competent international freight forwarder will manage many of the documentation requirements for you.

If you choose to ship with Shipa Freight, for instance, you will have all the benefits of our industry-leading digital platform at your disposal. That includes our integrated compliance engine, which helps you supply the information we need to generate appropriate documentation. However, you will need to provide the following documents to support the import declaration:

1. Commercial Invoice: If you are the seller in a trade arrangement, you will need to provide a commercial invoice for the buyer, a copy of which must also be submitted to the customs authorities in India. Indian customs will use the commercial invoice to establish the shipment’s value and calculate the duties payable. The commercial invoice should also state the incoterm under which you are shipping the goods, as this clarifies whether you or the buyer will be responsible for the import declaration and clearance of the shipment.

2. Letter of Credit: This document safeguards the exporter against the risk of payment default by the importer. The letter of credit is issued by the importer’s bank, and serves as a guarantee that the exporter will receive payment for the goods. However, while it is primarily a transactional document raised as part of an international sale, Indian import regulations require that you make a copy available to the customs authority.

3. Other Documents You Must Provide: In addition to the commercial invoice and letter of credit, a handful of other documents, which your forwarder cannot issue, must accompany your international shipments to India. These documents include a packing list containing detailed information about the goods you are shipping, and certificates of origin that prove where they were manufactured or produced.

Imports to India: Restrictions and Prohibitions

As in many countries, certain products and materials are either completely prohibited for importation into India, or are restricted and therefore require special import permissions or licenses. A full list of these goods is available to download on the website of India’s Directorate General of Foreign Trade but to give you some idea of whether you should check the permissibility of your shipments, here are some examples:

Goods Prohibited from Importation

• Alcoholic drinks
• Animal products
• Circuit boards
• Coffee
• Prescription and non-prescription drugs
• Fire extinguishers

Restricted Goods

• Jewelry
• Maps
• Nutmeg, cardamom, and mace
• Phones and modems
• Oil products
• Perishable goods

Shipping Ocean Freight to India

If you have large quantities of goods to ship to India, speed is not a priority, or your budget is modest, full-container-load (FCL) or less-than-container-load(LCL) ocean freight is likely to be your preferred shipping option. Ocean carriers serve ports in India from just about every nation with a coastline, and Shipa Freight can provide quotes for all the most popular routes.

Even if you wish to ship from an inland location or are exporting from a landlocked country, we can provide door-to-door services using multiple modes of transportation, with ocean shipping for the international leg. Please be aware, however, that for the sake of simplicity, the information contained in the following page sections covers port-to-port shipping only.

Popular Ocean Freight Shipping Lanes to India

Ocean freight pours into India from ports all over the world, including those as far afield as Canada and Australia. All the major shipping lines connect Indian importers with trading partners in North America and Europe, but by far the busiest routes are those bringing imports from China and South East Asia. Five of the most popular lanes are as follows:

• Ningbo (China) to Nhava Sheva
• Ningbo (China) to Mundra
• Shanghai (China) to Nhava Sheva
• Shanghai (China) to Mundra
• Tanjung Pelepas (Malaysia) to Mundra

International Shipping to India: Shortest and Longest Routes

No far-flung corner of the globe is left unconnected to the major ocean ports of India, although it can take a while for maritime freight to traverse the longest routes.

For example, one of the lengthiest trade lanes to the Indian subcontinent connects Toronto and Montreal, in Canada, to the ports of Mundra and Nhava Sheva. A container ship plying that particular route can take up to 58 days to complete its voyage.

At the other end of the shipping duration and distance spectrum, meanwhile, ocean freight from Southeast Asia can be in India in a matter of a few days—as few as five days in the case of shipments from Singapore or Port Klang in Malaysia to Chennai, on the East Coast of India.

Freight Shipping by Air to India

Air freight is of course, by far the fastest way to ship commercial products to India, but is costly in comparison with ocean shipping. However, if you are shipping smaller quantities of goods, and especially if they are of a high value, the need to reduce transit time and provide the most secure transportation environment will drive your choice of international shipping mode—and probably see you choosing to fly your shipment to India.

The following sections will be of interest to you if you should make such a choice. Again, the details provided here all concern port-to-port air freight shipping, but at Shipa Freight, we also offer door-to-door and port-to-door options—so you can choose the most appropriate solution for your business.

High-Volume Air Freight Lanes to India

As the distances from some parts of the world, such as the Americas, to India, are extreme, direct cargo routes are few and in the main, originate only in national capitals. For example, in Europe, you might find one or two flights per day from major cities like London, Paris, or Frankfurt, with some countries completely bereft of direct flights to India.

Of course, this does not mean you can’t ship air freight to India from other locations, but your exports may have to undergo two or more separate legs of international transit. Because of this dynamic though, the Middle East region plays a central role (in a literal sense) in international air freight shipping to India.

Many carriers route passengers and cargo through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other gulf-region airports to their final destinations in India. That fact is very evident in the volume of air traffic moving between these points and the key Indian air freight terminals. Indeed, as the below list of most popular routes shows, aside from Hong Kong, no region hosts more India-bound cargo flights than the Middle East.

Here is our top-five route list for air freight to India, presented in no particular order:

• Dubai (United Arab Emirates) to Delhi
• Dubai (United Arab Emirates) to Mumbai
• Kuwait (Kuwait) to Mumbai
• Muscat (Oman) to Mumbai
• Hong Kong to Delhi

India’s Longest and Shortest Inbound Air Freight Routes

With very few direct flights serving India from the American continent, many inbound air freight routes are not that long at all. Most cargo flights from Europe, Africa, and Asia take between eight and ten hours.

As you might expect with North America out of the picture, Australia is the only continent that involves exceptionally long flight times. One of the lengthiest transits exists on the route from Sydney to Delhi, at around 13 hours.

On the other hand, contenders for the shortest route are many. Bangkok in Thailand to Chennai or Kolkata takes around three hours, as do flights from Bahrain to Mumbai and from Muscat to all of India’s primary airports (Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Cochin, and Delhi).
