No matter the size of your business or where you are importing goods from, the importing process can be a maze of confusing paperwork and shipping procedures.

If you are importing goods or services from other countries, you already know how difficult it can be to understand and adhere to all the variables involved with import compliance. Government regulations were not made to be easily understood, nor were they created with your business process in-mind.

As an importer, the government holds you solely responsible for adhering to trade compliance regulations. You can’t use ignorance as an excuse, and Your business is responsible for many aspects whenever you import something into the India, including:

• Correct valuation of goods
• Accurate classification
• Potential cost savings compared to other avenues
• Less time spent on labour-intensive tasks
• Customs compliance support so goods get where they need to go faster
• The opportunity to form a range of useful partnerships
• More efficiency and productivity
