How to Defer Heavy Customs Duty When Importing-Exporting to India?

Import-export is a lucrative business option. While you can earn anything between thousand of dollars to billions in import-export trade, there are several challenges also involved in it.

Some of the most common challenges most merchants face include damage/loss to/of goods during transit, non-payment for exported goods, heavy costs of returning the rejected goods from foreign customers back to your homeland, economic/political instability in the country of the buyer, the creditworthiness of a new buyer, and currency fluctuations, so on and so forth.

Furthermore, hefty taxes and customs duties make import-export difficult for most businesses with a limited budget. Whether you import medicines, raw materials, food items, apparel, part of electrical appliances, auto parts, or anything, customs duties and taxes aren’t something you can afford to overlook and not pay.

You can enjoy duty freedom as long as your goods are stored inside the free trade warehousing zone. Various activities can also be performed inside these zones such as kitting, repacking, packaging, inspection, sorting, strapping, etc.

Another great aspect of using OSV’s FTZs for auto parts exports to India is that you don’t have to pay any duties or fees even if you re-export these goods directly from the FTZs to another country. The duties and taxes apply only when you choose to sell or move the goods in the local market outside of the free trade zones.

In short, you can defer taxes and customs duty while ensuring that your overall import-export experience is absolutely hassle-free and stress-free. Contact us now to know more…
