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 explicit 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 skilled advisers before you start. But this is our understanding and we’d rather share it upfront.
