Shipping into India
 

Hi

Having major trouble finding some one who can ship a car into India from Iran and Dubai. I have been told that this is not possible with the Indian Customs. Is this true? Has anyone else had issues with this.

Thanks for any help

Someone posted a week or so ago about doing it (he managed it recently)
The search button will bring it up i'm guessing.

Cheers

RoRo may not have direct services to/from ports in those countries. Bear in mind that India does not have a lot of imported vehicles - most are built in India or assembled from kits.

Do a weblookup for the main car carriers - Wilhelmsen and see what their timetables have to offer.

By shipping container should not be impossible.

I read a while ago that there are issues with Iran not complying with the international port security standards - which excludes goods despatched from Iran entering some countries unless opened and repacked in a secure dock area.

India has also shifted up a gear for security whilst the Commonwealth Games are on - any one off shipments start alarm bells ringing.

check out our friends website and read more about recent shipping from Iran to India.

Adventurous greetings,

Most 'smart' people avoid India and ship to Bangladesh. Then drive across the border into India. Much much easier and cheaper I'm told by quite a few people.

Sounds interesting, which port would they use ? Chittagong....
