Ocean Freight
🌊

We book space on vessel departures from China's major ports to JNPT Mumbai — India's busiest container port — with connections to Mundra and Chennai through our carrier network. As a freight forwarder with volume commitments across multiple carriers, we access rates and space guarantees that individual importers cannot negotiate on their own. FCL for full container loads, LCL for smaller consignments that don't fill an entire container.

Customs Clearance
📋

This is the core of what ClearFreight is built on — 20+ years of CHA-backed customs clearance expertise, with the majority of our operations at JNPT — India's highest-volume container port. We file your Bill of Entry, handle customs examination if triggered, pay assessed duties, and get your cargo out of charge. Critically, we advise on HS code classification before your goods ship — wrong classification leads to customs disputes, penalties, and delays that can cost lakhs and weeks.

We work with a verified transporter network operating primarily from JNPT, Mumbai, and dispatch the same day clearance is obtained.

China Origin Operations
🇨🇳

The China side of the shipment is where most Indian importers have zero visibility. Your supplier has stuffed the container — but did they do it correctly? Is the weight accurately declared? Has China export customs been filed properly? Our network of vetted origin agents in Ningbo, Shanghai, and Guangzhou supervise every step at origin and send you confirmation before the vessel departs.
