FAQ

What is the typical sea transit time from India to Europe?

India (JNPT) to Europe (Hamburg/Rotterdam) takes approximately 20–25 days by sea. Via Cape of Good Hope (if Suez congested) can be 30–35 days.

What is CFS cut-off and why does it matter?

CFS cut-off is the deadline for delivering LCL cargo before container sealing. Missing cut-off means waiting for the next vessel, delaying shipment by 7–14 days.

How can I reduce total shipment lead time?

Pre-book vessels for recurring shipments, maintain buffer stock at origin, use AEO status for faster customs, and choose direct routes over transshipment options.
