In the fast-evolving world of global trade, the efficient and timely movement of goods across borders is critical for business success. Behind these seamless transactions lies the expertise of freight forwarding companies — the key enablers of smooth, compliant, and cost-effective international shipping services.
India’s tariff structure—covering Basic Customs Duty (BCD), Social Welfare Surcharge, IGST, and AIDC—directly affects the landed cost of imported goods. Recent policy shifts, including reduced BCD on specific raw materials and the new 25% U.S. import tariff on Indian exports (effective Aug 2025), are reshaping global trade dynamics. For freight forwarders, this means pricing shipments accurately, staying updated on HS codes, and proactively guiding clients on duty changes.
India’s logistics sector is undergoing a major transformation. Global trade expansion, government policies, and advanced technology are redefining how goods move across borders. Logistics companies are now crucial in helping businesses stay competitive and efficient in this evolving trade landscape.
