Origin coverage at Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Ningbo. Destination coverage at six Indian gateways.
Freight forwarding at Aurum is built around the China–India lane specifically. We coordinate at origin (booking, container stuffing, export documentation, on-carriage to port), at sea (vessel selection, transit-time tradeoffs), and at destination (de-stuffing, clearance, last-mile).
15-minute call to map your import profile, commodities and ports.
Pre-shipment classification, duty estimate and PGA mapping.
Filing, coordination, query response, payment, release.
Out-of-charge, last-mile, document archive.
Records held for SVB, post-clearance audit and CBIC scrutiny.
Rule of thumb: above 15 CBM, FCL is usually cheaper per CBM. Below 8 CBM, LCL is cheaper. Between 8 and 15 CBM, it depends on the lane and the time of year. We'll model both for your specific consignment.
Typical: Shanghai → JNPT 18–22 days, Shanghai → Mundra 16–20 days, Guangzhou → JNPT 12–15 days, Shenzhen → Mundra 14–17 days. Plus 2–3 days rail-haul to ICD Tughlakabad. These are normal-condition figures — Red Sea / port congestion / strike events shift them.
Whichever you prefer — FOB, CIF, CFR, EXW, DDP. Most of our importers prefer FOB to retain control over freight cost; some prefer EXW for door-to-door visibility. We'll structure the documentation accordingly.
Tell us the commodity, the origin port and the destination ICD — we'll come back with a duty estimate and clearance plan.
