A partnership that ensures on-time delivery, every time

TATA Motors upholds customer satisfaction as an important pillar of their value propositions. To achieve this, the ability to deliver vehicles on time is crucial. However, the process of navigating exports comes with its challenges – managing multiple stakeholders, obtaining required clearances and tracking shipments - and a single error can cause a shift in the entire timeline.

Hear more from Mr. Jayant Shreedhar Athawade, Head of Supply Chain, TATA Motors International Business, on how Maersk’s logistics services have helped the automotive manufacturer deliver their world-class vehicles in a timely manner, each time.

With Maersk Customs Services, you can rest assured that your cargo complies with local laws, clears regulatory mandates, and is quickly on its way.

Additional Maersk Customs Services

Beyond acquiring clearances, we also offer requirement-based consultation and procedural assistance for your cargo:

Issuance of Certificate of Origin (COO) - You may be required to declare that your cargo is produced in a specific country, to determine whether it's eligible for entry or entitled for any preferential treatment.
NOC from Assistant Drug Controller - If your cargo comprises of chemicals then we can help in obtaining the NOC at the port, which serves as a concrete proof for undergoing the necessary quality checks.
Plant Quarantine Certificate - Consignments containing perishables undergo isolated tests to ensure that they are disease and pest-free. We take care of the complete process until the certification is acquired
KYC verification - We help you with the KYC verification from the local Commisionerate office. Without this one-time registration, SB/BOE is generally not processed by the customs.
Bank registration - We also assist in the registration of AD and IFSC codes with the EDI Department, because both are needed for foreign exchange and Duty Drawback Scheme respectively.
Duty payment and consultation - On behalf of the importer – we process duty advancement to the customs. Along with that, we also provide consultancy services for goods classification.
Export incentive consulting - We offer export incentive consultation for the Duty Drawback Scheme (DBK - 74 & 75), the Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS Scheme) and EPCG.
Import license registration - To make imports easier in the future, we help the first-time importers in acquiring licenses from DGFT, with local Customs. e.g. EPCG, advance license.
