WHAT WE LOOK AT

The questions that decide your margin.

LANDED COST Landed-cost modelling Freight, duty, IGST, port and inland charges added up per unit, so you can compare suppliers, ports and Incoterms on the real number.

DUTY Duty and FTA planning HS classification, preferential duty under India's trade agreements, and schemes such as Advance Authorisation, EPCG and drawback.

ROUTING Port and route choice Nhava Sheva, Mundra or an inland ICD; direct sailing or transhipment; sea, air or air–sea. Each weighed on cost, time and risk.

SOURCING Sourcing from India For overseas buyers: supplier follow-up, consolidation and the paperwork that makes buying from several Indian factories simple.

STORAGE Bonded and FTWZ strategy When holding stock in bond, in an FTWZ or duty-paid makes sense, and what it does to your cash flow.

RISK Compliance and risk review Restricted items, licences, sanctions screening, insurance and contract terms checked before the first container moves.

Consulting questions

Who is this for?+

Companies starting to import into or export from India, overseas buyers sourcing here, and established traders who want to cut landed cost or shorten transit times.

Do I have to use YAM for the shipping afterwards?+

No. The advice stands on its own. Many clients do ask us to run the shipments, since we already know the plan inside out.

What do you need from me?+

Product details or HS codes, typical volumes, supplier and buyer locations, current costs if you have them, and any deadlines.

How long does it take?+

A focused question, such as which port or which Incoterm, usually takes a few days. A full supply chain review takes longer, and we agree the scope upfront.

Is this legal or tax advice?+

No. We advise on customs, freight and trade procedure. For legal or tax opinions we will tell you when to bring in a lawyer or chartered accountant.
