Global freight forwarding and logistics services from India

A freight forwarder plans and coordinates your shipment: booking carrier space, arranging factory pickup, checking export documents and organising customs filing and delivery. At Cargoking, one coordinator handles all of this in a single file, so you deal with one contact instead of separate transporters, airlines and agencies. Explore our freight forwarding services.

To export from India you usually need a commercial invoice, packing list, shipping bill, bill of lading or air waybill and an IEC (Importer Exporter Code). A certificate of origin is added where the buyer’s country asks for it. Our team checks every document before dispatch and supports first-time exporters with IEC and DGFT documentation.

Air freight is charged on the greater of actual or volumetric weight, FCL per container and LCL per cubic metre or tonne, whichever is greater. Origin handling, documentation and destination charges are itemised separately. Duties and taxes are listed apart because customs authorities assess them. Request an itemised freight quote.

Sea freight from India takes roughly 5 to 7 days to the UAE, 20 to 30 days to the UK and 22 to 25 days to the US East Coast via Suez. Air freight is typically 1 to 3 days to the UAE, 2 to 4 days to the UK and 3 to 6 days to the USA. Routing around the Cape adds time, so every quote names the routing on offer. See the India to USA, India to UK and India to UAE lanes.

FCL often becomes the better-value option once your cargo reaches around 13 to 15 CBM, because you pay for the whole container rather than per cubic metre. Below that, LCL lets you share container space and pay only for the volume you use. We can price both so you compare before booking. See our FCL and LCL sea freight services.

Yes, buyer’s consolidation lets you collect goods from several Indian suppliers, stage them at one warehouse and ship them in a single container. Each supplier’s cargo is checked against its packing list first, and one shipment means one set of freight charges, which lowers your cost per unit. Learn about our warehousing and consolidation.

Yes, we collect cargo from factories across India by road or rail and move it to JNPT or BOM for export. Regular pickups run from Maharashtra, Gujarat, North India and South India, timed to the vessel or flight cut-off. See our road transport and rail freight options.

Most demurrage and customs delays at JNPT start with a paperwork mismatch, so the fix is checking invoices, packing lists and HSN codes before the cargo leaves your factory. Our team audits these before the vessel cut-off, and official filings go through our licensed partners. If customs still hold a shipment, your coordinator finds the reason and updates you as soon as it is known.

Dangerous goods are classified under the IMDG Code for sea and the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for air, then packed, labelled and declared before a carrier accepts them. We check the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and UN number before booking, because carriers can refuse DG cargo with incomplete paperwork. Read more on hazardous cargo handling.

Yes, Cargoking can arrange DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipments, where the seller covers freight, duties and delivery so the buyer receives the goods with charges settled. It suits exporters selling directly to overseas customers who do not want to handle import clearance. Destination duties are assessed by local customs and shown separately in your quote.
