Manufacturing
Components and finished goods held between production and shipping.
Production finishes before the ship sails, and the stock has nowhere sensible to wait. Cargoking Shipping & Logistics, headquartered in Mumbai, India, provides export warehousing in India that covers secure storage, inventory control and distribution support, with stock held on the same file as the freight.
Service overview
Cargoking’s warehousing service gives you organised, scalable storage for inventory, distribution and order fulfilment. Our warehouses handle bulk cargo, palletised goods and commercial inventory for businesses across many industries, with bonded and general warehousing support near major gateways.
Pick and pack operations, inventory tracking and distribution management sit on top of storage. Together they help you keep control of stock and move it on without delay. Cargo can then be released straight into an air freight or sea freight booking.
Consolidation
Goods from different Indian suppliers rarely finish on the same day, and each part load needs its own handling. A warehouse solves that by collecting everything in one place first.
Each supplier delivers to the warehouse and the goods are recorded to your account.
Goods are counted and condition-checked before they are accepted for the shipment.
Cargo from several vendors is packed into one container or one air booking under one set of documents.
The booking goes out when the last supplier’s goods arrive, handled by our freight forwarding team.
Cargo leaves India for Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States and Oceania, and moves from India into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. See the lane pages for the United Kingdom and the Gulf region.

What stays the same
How it runs
Four stages, each owned by the same coordinator, so storage and transport do not become two providers pointing at each other.
Goods are received against your documentation, counted, condition-checked and recorded to your account rather than into an undifferentiated pile.
Stock is held under conditions suited to the commodity, with inventory recorded and checked against the physical count on an agreed reporting cycle.
Orders are picked and prepared for dispatch, including export packing and marking where the consignment is heading overseas.
Outbound movement by road transport, air or sea is arranged by the same coordinator, so a missed date has one owner.
Why Cargoking
Warehousing is bought to solve a timing problem: production finishes before the vessel sails, or stock has to sit close to the port rather than at the factory. The value is in the control, not the square footage.
Because we also move the freight, storage sits inside the same shipment file. Cargo can be received, held while documentation is completed and released straight into an export booking without a handoff between companies. Stock is recorded against your account and reported on an agreed cycle, so what you believe is on hand and what is actually on hand stay the same number.
If you want storage and distribution run as one outsourced service, read about our third-party logistics.
Any statutory charge is listed separately, because the authorities set it rather than us.
Get an itemised storage quoteGetting a quote
A storage quote depends on how much cargo arrives, how long it stays and how it leaves. Send these details and we can start.
Exporters should also have the commercial invoice, packing list and Importer Exporter Code (IEC) ready. Our Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) paperwork help, DGFT documentation, can check them before the cargo moves.
Common questions
Yes, cargo can be held under our handling while the documents are finished, so it is not left waiting at the port. Goods are received against your papers and recorded to your account. This can ease port storage charges, and the consignment stays with one accountable party.
It can, because cargo waiting with us is not sitting at the terminal while paperwork or other suppliers’ goods are completed. Charges depend on the terms of each port and carrier, so we cannot promise a saving. Storage is shown as its own line in your quote.
It depends on the goods and the customs rules that apply to them, so check before you book. We provide bonded and general warehousing support near major gateways. Send us the commodity and route, and we confirm in the quote which type of storage applies.
Each supplier delivers to the warehouse, where goods are counted and recorded, then packed together into one booking. The invoice and packing list are checked as one set for the whole consignment. Share each supplier’s invoice early so descriptions and quantities match.
Stock is recorded against your account and checked against the physical count on a cycle we agree with you. The report shows stock on hand, inward receipts and dispatches. If a figure looks different, tell us and we compare it with the receiving record.
Goods are counted and condition-checked on arrival and recorded to your account, so a problem is on record from the start. Tell us in advance who should be informed and how you want damaged or short items handled, and we work to those instructions.
Orders are picked and packed for dispatch, then released into an air or sea booking arranged by the same coordinator. Export packing and marking are done at that stage, so the cargo leaves ready for the carrier. Tell us the destination before packing starts.
Where solid wood packaging is used for an international movement, we use timber that meets International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM-15). We also handle crating, palletisation and marking. Tell us your destination so we can check the packing suits it. Our packaging and unpacking service supports this.
Send the cargo type, quantity, storage period and onward destination. Add the Harmonised System (HS) code if you have it, and say whether you need pick and pack, labelling or export packing. The more complete the details, the closer the first quote is to the final one.
Your quote itemises storage, handling, value-added work and onward transport as separate lines. Storage is priced on the space and period used. There are no hidden charges left out of your quote, and duties and statutory taxes are listed separately because the authorities set them.
