How SSL moves it
Road in India, then sea or air onward
India leg: by road to the Indian gateway
SSL's fleet moves your cargo by road to and from India's ports and airports.
International leg. The air leg, or the sea leg through a neighbouring country's port, is arranged by our desk, and our desk arranges customs clearance.
Outside India? Email (corporatesales@sslpl.in) is the easiest way for our desk to reply across time zones. WhatsApp +91 75062 45557 works too.
Documents
General guidance: verify every shipment with your customs broker and the current DGFT and CBIC notifications.
- IEC
- An Importer-Exporter Code from DGFT is needed for any commercial shipment to or from Kyrgyzstan. Guide →
- HS code
- Classify every line under the HS nomenclature; India's largest export chapter to Kyrgyzstan in 2024 was HS 30. The 8-digit ITC(HS) code goes on the shipping bill. Guide →
- Incoterms
- Kyrgyzstan is landlocked, so the multimodal terms (FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP) fit better than FOB or CIF, which are for sea legs only. Guide →
- Certificate of origin
