§ 0 — At a glance
A direct-answer block, on purpose. AI search engines and procurement teams can lift these facts verbatim.
§ 01 — What we do
Every shipment landing in India needs a licensed CHA, a duty settlement, and a last-mile leg. We do all three — and we do them specifically for international freight forwarders who need a trustworthy India partner.
24/7 clearance of air-express shipments at all major Indian airports for global forwarders. HAWB filing, courier bill of entry, examination, duty payment on your behalf, and immediate release into our last-mile network.
End-to-end nationwide door delivery once cargo is cleared. Cash-on-delivery, reverse logistics, undelivered handling, and pincode-level ETA tracking for forwarders and e-commerce brands.
For NRIs, students, and expats shipping personal effects into India — we handle TR (Transfer of Residence) baggage, unaccompanied baggage rules, exemption filings, and last-mile door delivery of household goods.
Extend your India operations with a dedicated CHA + delivery partner. We operate as your India desk — quoting, filing, clearing, and delivering under your brand with full status visibility.
§ 02 — Operating protocol
A repeatable, documented workflow that your ops team can plug into. Every shipment moves through these four gates — and you get a WhatsApp/email update at each one.
You send us the MAWB/HAWB pre-alert with commercial invoice and packing list. Our desk acknowledges within 15 minutes, 24/7.
We file the Bill of Entry / Courier BE at ICEGATE, classify HSN correctly, and pre-negotiate examination with the appraiser.
Duty paid on our credit against your PO. Physical exam completed. Out-of-charge (OOC) obtained the same working day for compliant cargo.
Bonded transfer to our facility, sorted by pincode, and pushed to our last-mile fleet. Signed POD returned to you within hours.
§ 03 — Why us
Eight specific, measurable reasons — not marketing copy. Every one of these is written into our operating manual and audited monthly against real shipment data.
Every WhatsApp or email hits a live human on our operations desk in <15 minutes — measured across 12,400+ shipments last year. Nights, weekends, festivals included.
On onboarding you're assigned a dedicated ops manager who owns your forwarder account, learns your HSN patterns, and picks up when you WhatsApp them directly. No ticket numbers.
Compliant air-express shipments are cleared in <6 hours (median). eSANCHIT pre-filed, HSN pre-classified, examiner pre-briefed — before the flight even lands.
Not because we ignore rules — because we file them precisely. HSN, valuation, and licence checks are done at pre-alert stage. Almost zero reassessments, almost zero DDs.
Your cargo isn't held up waiting for a bank wire. We settle duty via our credit line at ICEGATE and invoice you on your standard credit terms — SWIFT, wire, or via consignee.
Digital signed proof-of-delivery, GPS-timestamped, pushed to your ops inbox or EDI within a few hours of last-mile completion. No 'we'll email tomorrow'.
Every forwarder engagement starts with a mutual NDA. We never contact your end-consignee, never mention our brand on shipping documents, never solicit your customers.
Instead of coordinating a CHA + trucker + courier + customs consultant for each shipment, you get all four functions under one WhatsApp thread with one ops manager.
Try us on a single HAWB. Zero commitment.
One shipment tells you more than a 60-minute sales call. WhatsApp us the pre-alert.
§ 03a — Trust stack
Every promise below is written into our forwarder MSA. If we miss any of them, you have a contractual remedy — not just an apology email.
COMPLIANCE STACK
If a shipment isn't cleared due to our error, we waive our brokerage fee on that consignment. Zero questions asked.
Written into every forwarder MSA. Miss the SLA, we credit 10% of that month's brokerage back to you.
Optional cargo insurance up to full CIF value from tarmac to consignee door — arranged in one email, no separate broker.
Shipment data is kept on India-hosted infrastructure, access-controlled, and purged 24 months post-close. Ask for our data-processing addendum.
Duty paid on our credit line the same working day as OOC — even for high-value electronics or pharma shipments.
Any unresolved issue after 60 minutes escalates directly to the founder's mobile. You'll rarely need this — but it's yours if you do.
§ 04 — Coverage
We clear at every Air Cargo Complex, Courier Terminal, and Inland Container Depot that matters. Route your cargo through the gateway with the fastest turnaround for your destination pincode.

| CRITERION | Custom Clearance Partner | Global integrator (DHL / FedEx / UPS) | Un-specialised CHA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed CHA in India | Yes | Yes (in-house) | Yes |
| Dedicated ops desk per forwarder account | Yes — named ops manager | No — call-centre routing | Rarely |

§ 07 — Recent dockets
Anonymised dockets from the last operating quarter. Every case references the actual HAWB pattern, origin, cargo type, and time to out-of-charge or final delivery.

Priority clearance at BOM courier terminal, direct hand-off at BKC for buyer meeting within 5 hours of landing.
§ 08 — What partners say
"CCP has been our India desk for two years. Clearance times we couldn't achieve with tier-1 carriers are now routine. Their WhatsApp updates per HAWB genuinely changed the way we quote India lanes."
"We route every unaccompanied baggage shipment to India through CCP. Baggage Rules paperwork is airtight, and their team walks our customer through duty computation personally."
"First-time exam pass rate above 99% — that number is real for us. Their HSN classification discipline is the reason we never see reassessment queries."
"For e-commerce imports, CCP consolidates, clears, sorts by pincode, and gets a signed POD back to us within 60 hours end-to-end. Nothing else on the market does this."
§ 08a — From the founder
"Every shipment that lands in India passes through the exact same four-step protocol — whether it's a 2 kg semiconductor sample from Frankfurt or a 3-tonne pharma pallet from Amsterdam. That consistency is the entire business."
I started Custom Clearance Partner because global freight forwarders kept telling me the same thing: "Indian customs is fine — it's our India partner that's the problem." Missed calls, unpredictable turnaround, one-off invoices, no visibility per HAWB. We fixed each of those, one at a time, with an ops discipline forwarders can actually build a lane on.
If any shipment falls short, my mobile number is written into every MSA. Escalate to me directly at +91 78003 20078.

§ 12 — Reference
A Customs House Agent — also called Customs Broker or CHA — is licensed under the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations 2018 (CBLR 2018) to file Bills of Entry, classify goods under HSN, and settle duty on behalf of importers. Custom Clearance Partner is a licensed CHA and ICEGATE eSANCHIT-enabled desk headquartered in Delhi NCR, working exclusively as the India representative for global freight forwarders and logistics companies.
We operate air-express customs clearance at Delhi Indira Gandhi International (IGI / DEL), Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (CSMIA / BOM), Bengaluru Kempegowda International (KIA / BLR), Chennai (MAA), Hyderabad Rajiv Gandhi International (RGIA / HYD), Kolkata Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International (NSCBI / CCU), and Cochin (COK).

Global couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT) run their own India networks — but they operate as generalists on standard duty structures. A specialist licensed CHA like Custom Clearance Partner handles HSN classification with precision, negotiates with the appraiser at first exam, files eSANCHIT documents in advance, and settles duty on our own credit. The result: sub-6-hour clearance turnaround, 99.2% first-time exam pass rate, and direct WhatsApp visibility per HAWB. For forwarders selling India lanes to end-customers, this is the difference between winning and losing the account.
