End-to-End International Logistics for Indian Exporters
International logistics is the backbone of every successful export operation. It covers the complete supply chain from your factory to the buyer’s warehouse, including packaging, warehousing, inland transport, port handling, ocean or air freight, customs clearance at destination, and last-mile delivery. A single weak link in this chain can delay your shipment, damage your goods, or destroy a buyer relationship.
What We Manage
Rasp International provides complete supply chain advisory for Indian exporters. This includes export packaging consultation (corrugated, wooden crating, palletisation, container stuffing plans), warehousing at origin (bonded and non-bonded), multimodal transport planning (road plus rail plus sea), ocean freight rate negotiation with major shipping lines, air freight for time-sensitive or high-value consignments, and destination logistics coordination where required.
We do not operate our own fleet. Instead, we work as your logistics advisor, negotiating with carriers, consolidators, and port operators to get you the best rates and transit times. This independence means we are not locked into any single carrier and always recommend the most cost-effective option for your specific shipment.
Key Logistics Challenges for Indian Exporters
Container availability fluctuates seasonally, especially for refrigerated and specialised containers. Port congestion at JNPT and Chennai can add 2 to 5 days of delay during peak seasons. Inland haulage costs have risen sharply due to fuel prices and toll increases. And documentation errors at any point in the chain can result in cargo holds, demurrage charges, or customs penalties.
First-time exporters also face the challenge of choosing between FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments. FCL gives you control over timing and cargo safety but requires enough volume to fill a container. LCL is cheaper for small quantities but adds transit time and handling risk at the consolidation warehouse.
Ports and Routes We Cover
We coordinate shipments from all major Indian gateway ports including JNPT (Nhava Sheva), Mundra, Pipavav, Chennai, Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, and Cochin. For air freight, we work with cargo terminals at Delhi IGI, Mumbai CSIA, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Inland Container Depots across North India including Tughlakabad, Dadri, and Agra ICD are part of our regular operations.
