Export clearance

Before goods can be loaded, the shipping bill has to be filed and the cargo cleared by customs. We prepare and check your export documents, file the shipping bill, coordinate any examination and make sure the cargo reaches the vessel or flight on time.

Import clearance

For imports, we file the bill of entry, work out duties and taxes with you before the cargo arrives, arrange examination if customs asks for it, and release the goods for delivery to your door.

Getting the classification (HS code) and valuation right at the start avoids most delays. We review your documents before arrival, not after the cargo is already sitting at the port running up charges.

Complex and regulated cargo

Some goods need permissions from other authorities as well as customs. Our aircraft import at ICD Patiala for the Govt. of Punjab needed special permissions from Customs, DGFT and aviation authorities, and it remains the only aircraft imported at an ICD in India. We bring the same care to machinery, chemicals and other regulated cargo.

Where we clear

We manage clearance from our Ludhiana head office at any port or ICD in India, through our agent network, including Mundra, Nhava Sheva and ICD Tughlakabad (Delhi). Wherever your cargo lands or leaves, we have a partner on the ground.

Common questions

What does a CHA do?

A customs house agent (customs broker) files your shipping bill or bill of entry with Indian customs, works out the duty, handles any examination and gets the cargo released. PH Logistics India does this for exporters and importers across Punjab.

What documents do I need for customs clearance?

Usually the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, your IEC and GST details, and any licences or certificates the goods need. We check the full set before filing.

Can you clear cargo at an ICD?

Yes. We clear at ports and inland container depots across India through our agent network, and we are the only company to have imported an aircraft at an ICD in India, at ICD Patiala.
