Importing and Exporting in India - Preview

2 / 4

Kind regards,
Adam Livermore
India has historically played an important role in
global trade flows. Located between mainland
Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, India
has long served as a gateway to global markets.
Today, importers and exporters continue to benefit
from India’s geostrategic
position; however, low
operating costs and business
friendly measures from the
government have helped
importers and exporters
expand their interests in
recent years.
In this issue of India Briefing
Magazine, we examine
India’s import and export
landscape, basic import and
export procedures as well as
the customs duties. In the first article, entitled “The
Import and Export Landscape in India”, we note that
India’s import-export landscape has remained stable
despite significant economic changes. This bodes
well for businesses that trade with India.
In the second article, entitled “Import and Export
Procedures in India”, we summarize procedures that
importers and exporters must follow in India. This
summary can help businesses that want to begin
imports and exports to start to prepare for trading
in India. In the third article,
entitled “Calculating Customs
Duties in India”, we describe the
most basic custom duties and
