FAQ โ China to India
+How much does shipping from China to India cost?
India lanes are dense and competitive, but duty and IGST vary sharply by HS code โ so we quote each shipment live. Send cargo details on WhatsApp for an all-in quote with duty and IGST itemized.
+Do I get IGST back?
If you're GST-registered, IGST paid at import is fully creditable against your GST liability. We document it properly so your accountant's job is a formality.

For many electronics categories, yes โ BIS is a known lane for us. We tell you honestly what's realistic before you order, because pretending certification doesn't exist is how cargo gets stranded.
