Define the product before the route
Collect product specifications, intended use, quantity and supplier information. Check import eligibility and product-specific approvals with your advisers before committing to purchase.
Planning Your First China-to-India Import
Prepare supplier, cargo, importer and delivery information for a clear China-to-India shipping plan.
Confirm commercial documents
Gather the invoice, packing list and importer details. Classification, value and regulatory requirements affect clearance; do not treat a generic checklist as approval for your goods.
Coordinate cargo and transport
Compare a dedicated FCL arrangement with Nansha LCL consolidation based on the full load plan. Include supplier readiness, packaging, handling and destination requirements.
Review the entire scope
Agree origin handling, transport, import responsibilities, final delivery and exclusions. Keep an approved quotation and service agreement before sending cargo.
