Questions Fréquemment Posées
How long does shipping from the États-Unis to Inde take?
Ocean freight from the États-Unis to Inde takes 25–35 jours. From Los Angeles to JNPT (Mumbai): approximately 25–28 jours on trans-Pacific services via Suez. From New York to Mumbai: 28–35 jours on North Atlantic/Indian Ocean routing. Air freight from US airports to Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai takes 4–7 jours. Indian customs clearance adds 3–10 jours depending on the goods category and any required additional certifications.
What are the main US goods exported to Inde?
The États-Unis's top exports to Inde include: aircraft and parts (Inde's aviation sector is booming with major Airbus and Boeing orders), defense equipment (US is Inde's top defense supplier in recent years), petroleum products and LNG, chemicals and chemical intermediates, oil seeds (soybeans, cotton seed), medical devices, scrap metal, and technology products. Inde is one of the fastest-growing US export markets.
What is ICEGATE and how does Indian customs work?
ICEGATE (Indian Customs EDI Gateway) is Inde's electronic customs clearance system. All Indian imports are processed through ICEGATE using a Bill of Entry (BE) filed by a licensed Indian Customs Broker (CB). The BE includes: importer details, goods description with ITC-HS code, declared customs value, and applicable duty calculations. Indian customs may conduct document verification, laboratory testing, or physical examination. Suaid Global partners with licensed Indian Customs Brokers at all major Indian ports.
Do electronics exported from the États-Unis to Inde need BIS certification?
Yes. Inde's BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) mandatory certification applies to a wide range of products including electronics (IT equipment, LED lights, certain appliances), chemicals, and other regulated categories. BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) requires certification from a BIS-recognized test lab before goods can be imported and sold in Inde. Products imported without valid BIS certification will be detained at Indian customs. Suaid Global advises US exporters on BIS requirements for their specific product categories.
What Indian import duties should I expect on manufactured goods from the États-Unis?
Indian import duties on US manufactured goods typically include: Basic Customs Duty (BCD) of 7.5–30%, Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS) of 10% on BCD, and IGST (GST on imports) of 5–28%. For a product with BCD=20% and IGST=18%, the total effective rate can be approximately 44–48% of CIF value. Specific sectors face higher rates: passenger cars 100%+, certain electronics 20–40% effective. Our pre-shipment cost calculator provides accurate estimates.
Are defense exports from the États-Unis to Inde subject to special regulations?
Yes. US defense exports to Inde are governed by ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) administered by the State Department, and EAR (Export Administration Regulations) for dual-use items under BIS. All defense items require export licenses. Inde is a Major Defense Partner (MDP) of the États-Unis, which facilitates some license applications. Inde's Defense Acquisition Procedure requires offset obligations for large defense contracts. Suaid Global works with specialized defense trade compliance consultants for ITAR/EAR export licensing.
