Frequently Asked Questions

For Indian citizens returning from Africa, the primary requirement is qualifying for the **Transfer of Residence (TR) rules**. This typically means you must prove a minimum stay abroad (usually 1 or 2 years, depending on the scheme) and that the goods have been owned for a specified time. We manage the customs documentation and port logistics upon arrival in India to ensure compliance and a smooth process.
The essential documents include a copy of your Passport, a valid Visa/Residency proof from the African country of origin, a comprehensive, valued Packing List/Inventory, the Bill of Lading (OBL) or Air Waybill, and proof of your employment/residence abroad to satisfy the Indian Customs Transfer of Residence (TR) requirements.
The typical door-to-door transit time for sea freight from a major African port to India is approximately 6-9 weeks. This timeframe accounts for all major steps: packing and loading at the African origin, ocean transit, offloading at the Indian port, customs clearance in India, and final delivery to your residence in India.
Shipping a vehicle from Africa to India is possible but is subject to very high import duties and strict Indian government regulations. Eligibility is usually limited to certain categories of returning Indians under the Transfer of Residence scheme, and the vehicle must meet age and ownership criteria. We will provide detailed guidance based on the current Indian Customs rules for vehicle import.
Our door-to-door service includes everything from the initial packing and pickup at your residence in Africa, transport to the African port, ocean freight, all customs formalities (both African export and Indian import), payment of standard port charges, and final delivery, unpacking, and debris removal at your new home anywhere in India.
We provide a dedicated online tracking system. Once your container is loaded and the Bill of Lading is issued, you will receive a tracking number and access to our portal to monitor the shipment's progress. You can track the vessel's journey across the ocean and get updates right up until final delivery in India.
