The Complexities of Importing into India

India is home to a number of large IT companies such as Infosys, Winpro, and Mindtree. There are also several key datacentres located here, including those for Ctrls, Airtel, and Yotta. Most of these are in Bengaluru, known as the Silicon Valley of India. In 2017 India was named the top sourcing destination for the IT industry. India is also prominent in the medical world, housing Sun Pharma. Although an immensely popular destination for both imports and exports, there are a number of considerations one must take when shipping goods in or out of India. For instance, goods are often subject to revaluation at customs. The result of revaluations is often changing in costs, which can have dire consequences for profit margins. There are also restrictions on wireless goods requiring specific permits. These can take up to 6 weeks to source resulting in long lead times. Despite the prominence of trade India remains a 3rd world country and is considered a fairly high-risk lane. It is therefore important to investigate comprehensive liability cover for your goods.
