Freight Forwarder in Mumbai for Exports to the USA
Airlift's Mumbai office, in Chakala, Andheri East, near the airport, is a freight forwarder for Mumbai exporters shipping to the USA. It books FCL and LCL from Nhava Sheva (JNPA) and Mumbai Port and air freight from Mumbai airport (BOM), and arranges pickup and Indian export clearance. Airlift USA takes over in the US: the ISF, the entry through licensed customs brokers, and delivery.
Mumbai's container traffic goes through Jawaharlal Nehru Port at Nhava Sheva, across the harbor from the island city, with Mumbai Port handling a smaller share. Air cargo moves through the cargo terminals at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) in Sahar.
Our Mumbai office is in Chakala, Andheri East, a few minutes from the airport cargo complex and from SEEPZ, the special economic zone for gems, jewelry and electronics. That makes it the office for exporters who ship by air as often as by sea, and for the Mumbai region's wider export mix: engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, garments and gems and jewelry.
From Nhava Sheva there are direct and transshipment sailings to both US coasts and the Gulf; the port-pair pages below give the published transit range for each. We book FCL, LCL and air freight to the United States, and our US offices handle the Importer Security Filing and the customs entry through licensed customs brokers when the cargo arrives.
LCL consolidation from Mumbai: smaller shipments share a container with other exporters' cargo, under Airlift's house bill of lading.
Air freight from Mumbai: air exports to US airports from Mumbai airport (BOM), booked with Airlift's airline partners.
Pickup and export clearance in Mumbai: factory pickup, container stuffing and Indian export clearance, including the shipping bill filed on ICEGATE.
Importer Security Filing (ISF): filed by Airlift USA as the NVOCC at least 24 hours before the container loads in India.
US customs clearance on arrival: the entry is filed through Airlift USA's licensed customs-broker network, under a power of attorney from the importer of record.
Mumbai is an Airlift group office in India. It handles the export end of the India to USA and USA to India lanes: export bookings, cargo pickup coordination and export documentation.
The India lane guides publish transit times from Kolkata, Cochin, Ennore, Hazira, Mangalore, Kattupalli, Chennai, Mundra, Jawaharlal Nehru (Nhava Sheva), Pipavav and Tuticorin. Cargo from Mumbai ships through whichever of those ports suits the routing.
