Overview
What customs advisory covers
Customs advisory covers the duty and compliance side of importing and exporting - classification, valuation, and benefit schemes.
HSN classification determines your duty rate; getting it wrong means overpaying or facing demands with interest and penalties.
Imports from related parties face Special Valuation Branch (SVB) scrutiny on whether the pricing is arm's-length.
Exporters can claim duty drawback, RoDTEP, and advance authorisation benefits - but only if they apply correctly and on time.
Benefits
Why importers and exporters take customs advice from us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Classification done defensibly
Wrong HSN classification means wrong duty - overpaying for years, or underpaying and facing demands later. We get the classification right with reasoned opinions.
SVB cases handled
Related-party imports face Special Valuation Branch scrutiny. We prepare SVB documentation that stands up to questioning.
Export benefits mapped
Duty drawback, RoDTEP, advance authorisation - exporters leave money on the table without knowing it. We map every benefit your shipments qualify for.
Disputes and notices managed
Show-cause notices, assessments, refund claims - when customs comes calling, you have advisors who know the law and the procedure.

Customs Advisory process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
Classify and assess duty
We determine the correct HSN classification, applicable basic customs duty, IGST, and any anti-dumping or safeguard duties for your product. Wrong classification is the most common cause of customs disputes and penalties.
Check licences and restrictions
We verify whether your goods need import licences, BIS certification, or other approvals — restricted items held at port accrue demurrage daily.
Structure the transaction
We advise on Incoterms, valuation method, and related-party pricing to keep the assessable value defensible under the Customs Valuation Rules.
Filing and clearance support
We coordinate with your CHA for bill of entry or shipping bill filing on ICEGATE, and handle queries raised by customs officers.
Duty benefits and refunds
We identify applicable benefits — FTA concessional rates, duty drawback, RoDTEP, or advance authorisation — and help you claim refunds you're entitled to.

The Special Valuation Branch examines imports from related parties to ensure arm's-length pricing. If you import from your own group companies, expect SVB scrutiny.
Yes - duty drawback, RoDTEP, and advance authorisation schemes each have their own eligibility and procedures. We map what you qualify for and handle the claims.
Yes. We draft replies to show-cause notices and represent you through the adjudication process.
Start with a classification review of your top products by value. That single exercise usually pays for the advisory many times over.
Customs law changes frequently - tariff amendments, notifications, circulars. We track what affects your products and alert you.
We quote based on scope - a single classification opinion costs far less than an ongoing retainer. Request a quote and we scope it precisely.
