About the Company

We manufacture in Faridabad and trade both directions. We import polycarbonate and other polymer grades, moulds and tooling, capital equipment, inks and consumables. We export finished goods, including to the United States and Europe.

About the Role

Today that work depends on external clearing agents and a lot of chasing. We want it owned in-house — someone accountable for landed cost, clearance speed, scheme benefits actually claimed, and compliance that holds up under audit. You'll bring the customs and EXIM expertise. We'll get you the customs pass you need to operate on our behalf (see the note below on cards and licences — please read it, because it corrects a common misunderstanding).

A note on cards — please read

We want you to hold a customs pass in your own name. That’s achievable, and here is exactly how it works, so nobody wastes time at interview.

A G or H card is issued against the licence of the Customs Broker who employs you. It is surrendered when that employment ends. It cannot come with you to us, because it authorises you to act for that broker.
The card that applies here is the Self-category customs pass — issued in your name, under our IEC, for clearing our own consignments. It is genuinely your card. What differs is that we sponsor it instead of a broker, and it covers our shipments rather than third-party clients.

Two routes, and we have a strong preference:

Transfer (preferred). If you currently hold a Self-category pass at another importer or exporter, it can be transferred to us. This needs cancellation from your present employer plus an affidavit, and is considerably faster than a fresh application. If this is you, you're the profile we most want to hear from.
Fresh application. If you’re coming from a customs broker, or from a gap, we will sponsor and fund a fresh Self-card application — ICEGATE registration, attestation, appointment letter, undertakings, police verification, the full file. Published timelines run to around 45 working days plus any deficiency cycle, so expect roughly two to three months. We’ll structure your first months around work that doesn’t require the pass,



and we’ll get the application filed in week one.

On CB licences: if you hold a Customs Broker (CHA) licence in your own name, we’re glad to talk about what role would suit you. But to be explicit — we are not looking to clear our goods under anyone else’s licence. A CB licence isn’t lendable, and neither of us should want that exposure.

We’re not lawyers and we’ll confirm the route with qualified advisers before you start. But this is our understanding and we’d rather share it upfront.

What you’ll own

Customs clearance operations
End-to-end import and export clearance across our working locations: ICD Tughlakabad, ICD Patparganj, ICD Ballabhgarh, ICD Garhi Harsaru, IGI Airport Air Cargo, and gateway ports including Nhava Sheva and Mundra
Bill of Entry and Shipping Bill filing and management through ICEGATE and e-Sanchit
Pre-arrival filing to compress clearance time; active management of examination, query and assessment cycles
Handling of amendments, provisional assessments, first-check examinations, and detained or held consignments
Escalation and resolution with customs officers, custodians, shipping lines and CFS operators
Classification, valuation and duty
HS classification of our imports and exports, with defensible reasoning on record
Duty computation — BCD, IGST, Social Welfare Surcharge, and any applicable anti-dumping or safeguard duty. Trade remedy activity in polymers is frequent and origin-specific, so we expect this to be actively monitored against our actual grades and countries of origin rather than assumed settled
Customs valuation, related-party pricing, and royalty or assist treatment where relevant
FTA and preferential origin claims, including CAROTAR due diligence and origin documentation




Advance rulings where classification or valuation is genuinely uncertain
Export promotion schemes and DGFT
Assess, apply for and administer the schemes that fit us: Advance Authorisation, EPCG, duty drawback, RoDTEP, IGCR, and evaluate whether MOOWR bonded manufacturing is worth pursuing given our import-manufacture-export profile
Own licence lifecycle end to end — application, utilisation tracking, export obligation monitoring, redemption and EODC closure. Unclosed obligations become expensive surprises and we want them tracked, not discovered
Maintain IEC and all DGFT registrations
Evaluate AEO certification and drive it if the case holds
Logistics and cost
Manage freight forwarders, customs brokers where we still use them, transporters and CFS agents; negotiate and benchmark rates
Select and structure shipments — FCL, LCL, air, express — against cost, urgency and risk
Own Incoterms decisions on our purchase and sales contracts, and understand what each one actually shifts
Control demurrage and detention actively. These charges are almost entirely avoidable and are the clearest measure of whether this function is being run well
Marine and transit insurance; claims when they arise
Trade finance and banking
Letters of credit, bank guarantees, documentary collections; document preparation that doesn’t get discrepante
BRC realisation, FEMA and AD bank compliance, advance remittance and payment documentation
Coordinate with finance on IGST refunds on exports, LUT filing, GST on imports, and duty drawback receipts
Regulatory and product compliance
Import compliance: BIS where applicable, chemical and material documentation, MSDS, restricted-item checks
Export destination compliance, working with our customers and their brokers on US and EU entry requirements
EPR and plastic waste management obligations — directly relevant to us as a plastics manufacturer, and increasingly enforced
Legal metrology and labelling requirements on packaged goods
Record-keeping and document retention to withstand post-clearance audit
Systems and reporting
Maintain an auditable document trail per consignment
