Freight forwarding from India · six continents
Your cargo gateway: international freight forwarding from India to global markets
Cargoking Shipping & Logistics is an international freight forwarder in India, headquartered in Mumbai, India. We plan, document and move export cargo by air, sea, road and rail. One accountable team manages your shipment from pickup to delivery, with our licensed customs clearance specialist handling customs clearance.
Why exporters choose us
Why exporters and overseas buyers choose one accountable forwarder
Most export delays start at a handoff. One party books the freight, another files the paperwork, and nobody owns the problem when a query comes up. Cargoking coordinates the core departure stages for outbound cargo. By consolidating origin logistics and managing end to end execution, our team helps overseas procurement directors avoid the delays common with fragmented multi-agency handoffs. That means fewer missed cut-offs, fewer handoffs and fewer surprise charges, wherever your cargo begins its transit.
Freight is judged on the exceptions, not the easy shipments. Re-bookings, customs queries and rollovers stay with the same coordinator.
We manage global trade corridors for over 500 business clients across six continents, backed by a 24/7 operations team. Procurement teams can review our credentials for vendor approval.
Performance in freight forwarding is measured by four concrete standards:
- Cargo departs on schedule
- Documentation clears on the first attempt
- Final invoices match initial quotes
- One named coordinator oversees your cargo all the way to delivery

Documentation
How are export documents and customs clearance managed?
Our team checks your export paperwork before the cargo reaches the port. Customs filings, DGFT licensing support and regulatory clearances are then completed through our licensed customs clearance specialist.
Most customs problems start with minor errors like an incorrect HSN code or an invoice that does not match the packing list. Identifying and correcting minor paperwork mistakes beforehand saves you time and money at the port.

Sectors we serve
Industries we ship for from India
Every industry ships on different schedules and regulatory requirements. We manage regular cargo movements across six core sectors out of India.
Automotive
OEM components, aftermarket spares and CKD unitsWe handle OEM components, aftermarket spares and complete CKD units, applying careful load planning and scheduled transport to keep overseas assembly lines supplied.
Pharmaceutical
Temperature-controlled medical cargoTime-critical medical shipments move under temperature-controlled handling, routed to stay within their required thermal range.
Manufacturing
Capital goods, raw materials and textilesIndustrial capital goods, raw materials and finished commercial textiles move through FCL and LCL ocean freight, choosing whichever option gives the lower landed cost for your volume.
Retail & E-commerce
Fulfilment and global distributionWe coordinate order fulfilment and global distribution for consumer brands, running regular consolidations for apparel and bulk retail cargo bound for international markets.
Engineering
Heavy machinery and project cargoHeavy machinery and industrial plant assets require specialised equipment. For a heavy press or industrial boiler export, we lash the cargo onto a flat-rack at the plant, arrange road permits, move it to the port on a low-bed trailer during permitted hours and coordinate crane loading onto the vessel.
Chemicals
Hazardous and regulated goodsRegulated products and hazardous materials require careful preparation. We manage compliant DG cargo transport in line with international maritime and aviation codes.
How we work
How a shipment runs, from enquiry to delivery
Freight forwarding from India runs in five stages, managed end to end by one team.
Enquiry
You share cargo dimensions, route and deadline. We reply with transport mode options and itemised pricing.
Capacity planning
We select the carrier, confirm vessel or airline space and lock in the departure schedule.
Documentation
Export paperwork is checked by our desk before dispatch, and customs filings are completed by our licensed specialist.
Transit monitoring
Your named coordinator monitors the shipment and sends direct milestone updates, so you do not have to chase for status reports.
Delivery
Our destination specialist completes the final delivery leg, and we stay on the file until delivery is confirmed.
Pricing
Transparent Freight Quotations: Clear Pricing from Origin to Destination
A low initial quote can quickly become an expensive shipment if it leaves out terminal handling, paperwork or destination fees. When charges are hidden, predicting your true shipping expenses becomes a guessing game, and that is where most of the frustration in freight comes from.
Customs duties and government taxes are listed separately because customs authorities set them, not us. If we see a more cost-effective route, such as using a shared container or shifting non-urgent goods from air to sea, we recommend it upfront even when it lowers our invoice. Every quote states how long its rates are valid, so you can budget accurately.
Rates move with carrier tariffs, fuel and seasonal capacity, so every quotation carries its own validity. Within that window the number is the number. Where an unavoidable charge appears later, such as a customs examination or a port congestion surcharge, you hear about it when we do, not on the invoice.

Duties and statutory taxes are listed separately, because customs sets them rather than us. Everything within our control is in the quote.

Small shipments move on a different clock
Not every consignment is a container. Samples sent to a buyer, a spare part holding up a production line, signed contracts, e-commerce parcels. These need a courier network and a tracking number, not a freight booking and a bill of lading.
Cargoking Express is our international courier line, built for exactly that traffic: documents and small parcels collected from your premises and delivered door to door overseas, with the same operations desk standing behind it.
- Door-to-door international courier service
- Documents, samples and small parcels
- Pickup from your premises within the Cargoking Express service area
- Tracked to the consignee’s door

Yes, every dangerous goods shipment is classified, packed, labelled and declared under international sea and air codes.
