CUSTOMS BROKER · LICENCE R-7/92
Customs is our engine. Freight runs on it.
Most forwarders hand clearance to someone else. We hold the licence ourselves, so classification, duty and permissions are settled before your cargo sails, not argued over after it lands.
Customs brokerage →Every way cargo enters and leaves India.
Eighteen solutions, one desk, one licence. Because we clear what we carry, nothing falls between a forwarder and a broker.

THIRD-COUNTRY TRADE · RE-EXPORT IN BOND
Buy anywhere. Hold in India. Sell anywhere. Pay no Indian duty.
Import into a customs-bonded warehouse or FTWZ, store or repack, then re-export to a buyer in another country without paying Indian import duty. Few forwarders run this end to end. It's one of our specialities.

Four jobs from our files. Each one had a deadline, a reputation or a life riding on it.

When time couldn’t wait
Medical aid for a United Nations mission in Central Asia couldn’t wait for a ship, and air was too expensive. We designed a sea–air–road route: far faster than sea, far cheaper than air.

One export, seven source countries
A steel tube mill for West Africa combined Indian manufacturing with components from seven countries. We set up a customs bonded warehouse inside the port, consolidated everything and exported it as one machine.

COMMITTED TO COMMITMENTS · SINCE 1968
The places changed. The promise never did.
The family group began in 1962 as Pacific Travels, in a small office on Mall Road, Kanpur, with a belief that a person's word should always mean something. In 1968 we went into shipping, and we've been moving India's trade ever since. Today we're a licensed customs broker (R-7/92, lifetime validity) with desks in Delhi, Mumbai and Mundra, and some of our clients have been with us for generations.
“For us, every shipment is important. Every relationship is priceless.”
