Freight Forwarding (Sea / Air / Land)

About this Service

Choosing the right freight mode, carrier and routing can swing landed cost by 15-30%. Our freight desk works with leading shipping lines, IATA airlines and ground transporters to negotiate the best contract rates and route your cargo with maximum reliability and minimum transit time.

We handle FCL, LCL, breakbulk and project cargo by sea; general cargo, perishables and dangerous goods by air; and full-truck or part-load movement by road across India and through neighbouring borders.

What is International Freight Forwarding?

Freight forwarding is the orchestration of moving goods internationally — from booking the shipping line or airline space, to arranging origin pickup, export clearance, ocean or air carriage, destination clearance, and final delivery to the consignee. The forwarder acts as your single point of accountability across multiple carriers and intermediaries.

We arrange transport by all major modes: Sea (FCL/LCL containers, breakbulk, RoRo), Air (general, express, perishable, ULD), and Land (FTL, LTL, cross-border).
