India is a fast-growing manufacturing and sourcing hub. From Nhava Sheva and Mundra to Chennai, Baobab moves your Indian cargo by sea and air with customs handled.
India's container trade is led by Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Sheva/JNPT, near Mumbai), Mundra and Chennai, supported by the air gateways of Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. We arrange collection from manufacturing clusters across the country and consolidate where it saves cost.
Imports and exports clear through Indian Customs (CBIC) on the ICEGATE platform. An Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) is required, with basic customs duty and IGST assessed on imports. We manage classification, valuation and clearance so cargo flows without avoidable delay.
India's export strengths span textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and engineering goods — each with its own compliance profile. We match the mode and the documentation to the cargo and the lane.
