What Our Customers Say

"Air to Bengaluru when the line stops"

Spares fly SFO to Bengaluru and clear the same day. ExFreight keeps our tariff headings on file, so a critical shipment never waits at the airport for a classification argument.

Miguel Pérez

Bengaluru, India

220+ shipments

"Mundra instead of Nhava Sheva halved our dwell"

ExFreight suggested routing through Mundra for our Gujarat plant instead of trucking from Nhava Sheva. Shorter dwell, cheaper inland leg, and the ocean rate was the same.

Anna Kowalski

Ahmedabad, India

350+ shipments

"Correct duty heading, 6% less on every entry"

Our goods were entering under a heading that carried 6% more basic customs duty than the correct one. ExFreight rewrote the classification and defended it at assessment.

James O'Brien

Chennai, India

200+ shipments

"LCL from the East Coast at real rates"

For pallet-level shipments to Mumbai, ExFreight LCL pricing runs well under what we were paying. Consolidation is weekly and the CFS release is fast.

Elena Rossi

Pune, India

270+ shipments

"CDSCO registration timed with the vessel"

Our diagnostic devices needed CDSCO registration. ExFreight scheduled the shipment so it arrived after the license, not before, which is the mistake everyone makes once.

Thomas Lang

Hyderabad, India

310+ shipments

"Five years, zero demurrage at JNPT"

ExFreight has run our USA-India corridor since 2021. Through the ICEGATE upgrades and the container shortages, we have not paid a single day of demurrage at Nhava Sheva.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does shipping from USA to India take?
Air freight 3-5 days door to airport. Ocean FCL 26-34 days port to port. LCL 34-44 days. Indian customs clearance runs 1-3 business days when the declaration is filed before arrival, which is how we file it.
We quote instantly from 50+ carriers on the USA-India lane, file the ICEGATE declaration ourselves, and hold the BIS certification paperwork on file so a shipment never waits at the border for a document.
Air: $3.90-$7.60/kg. Ocean FCL 20′: $2,100-$4,600. FCL 40′: $2,800-$6,100. LCL: $48-$88/CBM. Rates move with season and space; the instant quote tool shows live pricing for your exact shipment.
IGST charged at import and credited against your GST return. Basic customs duty plus social welfare surcharge, applied on the assessable value. We calculate the landed cost before you book, not after the goods arrive.
Declarations are filed electronically through ICEGATE to Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs. Importers need BIS certification, CDSCO registration for medical goods, and LMPC labelling for retail packs. ExFreight prepares the filing and works with licensed local brokers on every entry.
We operate weekly services from US East and West Coast ports to Nhava Sheva (JNPT), Mundra, Chennai and Kolkata. Air cargo flies direct to Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bengaluru (BLR) and Chennai (MAA). We book on all of them and pick by landed cost, not by habit.
Yes. Special rates for Amazon.in prep, BIS and LMPC labelling checks, and delivery to fulfillment centers in Bhiwandi, Manesar and Hosur. We label, palletize to local specification, and book the delivery appointment.
Consolidate into full containers where volume allows, book LCL on our weekly consolidation instead of ad-hoc, classify goods under the correct tariff heading, and pick the gateway closest to your final destination. We model all four before quoting.
Air freight (3-5 days door to airport) suits urgent, high-value or low-volume cargo. Ocean costs less per kilo: FCL 26-34 days for a full container, LCL 34-44 days when you cannot fill one. As a rule air wins under roughly 200 kg or against a tight deadline, ocean wins on everything larger. We quote both on every booking so you compare landed cost, not just freight.
We file the ICEGATE declaration to Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs and work with a licensed broker on every entry, so you do not need your own. For most USA-India shipments we recommend DAP or DDP so ExFreight controls Indian customs clearance and delivery; on EXW or FOB we still arrange pickup and export. Tell us the Incoterm at quote and we structure the move around it.
Importers into India need BIS certification, CDSCO registration for medical goods, and LMPC labelling for retail packs. Regulated categories such as food, cosmetics, electronics and batteries can need registration or licensing before arrival, and dangerous goods require IMO or IATA declarations. We check the classification against Indian customs rules before booking so nothing is stopped at the border.
Get an instant rate from 50+ carriers in the quote tool, accept online, and we handle pickup, export and Indian customs clearance. Book air 2-3 days ahead and ocean 1-2 weeks before the sailing to secure space and rates. Shippers running parallel lanes also move freight USA to China and USA to the UK, all quoted from the same USA freight forwarding hub.
