Route notes

What buyers and operators need to know.

01

When should you seek trade advice?

Advice is most valuable before a price is committed, a purchase order is signed, or cargo is dispatched. Early decisions on product eligibility, terms, route, documents, and duty can change whether a transaction is viable.

02

What does an advisory review cover?

The review follows the actual transaction: product, parties, origin, destination, value, Incoterm, payment approach, required timing, and available documents. It identifies open questions and assigns the next actions.

  • Product and market requirements
  • Incoterm and responsibility map
  • Document and customs plan
  • Freight and landed-cost assumptions
03

What is an export readiness assessment?

An export readiness assessment checks whether a business can complete a compliant, profitable export before it commits to a buyer. It reviews registrations, product eligibility, pricing, Incoterms, documents, packaging, payment terms and the freight route, and lists what must be fixed first.

  • IEC, GST LUT, AD code and RCMC status
  • Product, HS code and destination rules
  • Export pricing, Incoterm and landed cost
  • Document set, packaging and freight plan
04

How do payment terms and trade finance affect an export plan?

Payment terms decide when the exporter is paid and which documents the bank or buyer will check. Advance payment, letters of credit, documentary collections and open account each carry different risk and document requirements. We map those requirements into the shipment file so the documents match what will be examined. Financing, credit insurance and foreign-exchange decisions should be confirmed with your bank or a licensed adviser.

  • Advance, LC, collection or open account
  • Bank-required document set
  • Document timing against shipment dates
  • Records needed to realise export proceeds
05

Is the advice a legal or customs ruling?

No. Guidance is operational and must be confirmed against current law, formal customs decisions, and the shipment facts where a binding interpretation is required.

Direct answers

Frequently asked questions

Who needs export readiness consulting?

First-time exporters, manufacturers entering a new country, and businesses whose first shipments ran into document, customs or payment problems. It is most useful before a price or delivery date is promised to a buyer.

What do I get from a trade advisory review?

A written list of open decisions and gaps, the document set for the shipment, the Incoterm and responsibility map, landed-cost assumptions, and the next actions with owners and dates.

What information is needed to quote import-export advisory?

Share the origin, destination, cargo description, weight and dimensions, preferred mode, shipment readiness date, and any available commercial documents. The team will confirm if anything else is needed before proposing a route.

Can Krishnavi India coordinate customs and freight together?

Yes. Customs, freight, documentation, cargo handling, and final delivery can be coordinated through one operating desk so milestones and responsibilities stay visible.

How quickly will I receive a response?

Send the shipment details by email. The operations team reviews route, document, and handling requirements before confirming the next step or requesting missing information.
