How EXIM businesses succeed
Two pillars every import-export business stands on
Get the paperwork and the movement of goods right, and fund and grow the business wisely. Our Exim Desks help you with both, in plain language, with an experienced consultant on call.
Regulatory and Operational Compliance
The mandatory paperwork, the legal set-up, and the mechanics of moving goods across borders.
Basic and mandatory registrations
- Business entity set-up: proprietorship, partnership or company
- Core trade licences: the Importer Exporter Code (IEC) in India, an EORI number in Europe, or a Customs bond or importer number in the US
- Tax registrations, such as GST or VAT, needed to claim export incentives or pay import duties
Optional and sector-specific registrations
- Export Promotion Councils and boards (for example APEDA or FIEO) for a Registration Cum Membership Certificate (RCMC) and government benefits
- Chamber of Commerce membership for Certificates of Origin
- Product-specific clearances, such as US FDA for food and pharma, or Australian agriculture and biosecurity clearances
Logistics and customs clearance
- Landed cost and duty calculations: customs duty, anti-dumping duty, freight, insurance and port charges, to find the true cost of an import
- Customs query resolution: HS code classification disputes, valuation challenges, and missing documents such as the Bill of Lading or Commercial Invoice
How we help: we prepare or coordinate your applications and replies. The relevant authority, council or board issues the approval.
Strategic Growth and Finance
How you position your business globally, price your products, and fund your supply chain.
International marketing and sales
- Overseas quoting and pricing with Incoterms (FOB, CIF, DDP), so both sides know who covers freight, insurance and risk
- Market selection and research: high-demand countries and competitor pricing
- Buyer discovery: B2B platforms, international trade fairs and embassy commercial wings
Trade finance
- Pre-shipment finance, such as packing credit, to buy materials and make goods before shipping
- Post-shipment finance, such as bill discounting or export factoring, for the gap before the buyer pays
- Import financing: Letters of Credit, or supplier's and buyer's credit to defer payment
- Risk cover: export credit insurance, such as ECGC, against buyer default or political risk
How we help: we explain your options and prepare you for the conversation with your bank, insurer or buyer. They decide, and your CA or banker advises on financial matters.
