Market Update
According to OEC, in 2021, India was the number 6 economy in the world in terms of GDP, the number 14 in total exports, the number 11 in total imports, the number 137 economy in terms of GDP per capita and the number 41 most complex economy according to the Economic Complexity Index.
India exported US$25.45 Billion during 2021 to the United Arab Emirates and imported US$43.07 Billion during 2021 from the UAE, according to the Trading Economics database.
The freight market between India and the UAE is expected to grow significantly in 2023. This is driven by increasing investments in the UAE by Indian companies, as well as the growing demand for goods and services from both countries. The UAE’s strategic location, as well as its modern infrastructure and ports, make it an attractive hub for Indian businesses. India is also the UAE’s largest source for imported goods. As the economic relationship between the two countries continues to grow, the freight market is expected to benefit from the increased trade.
Banned Products
India has strict regulations on the types of goods and products that can be imported. In recent years, the Indian government has increased the list of banned products for importing to India due to safety, environmental and security concerns.
These include items such as weapons, drugs, hazardous materials, certain food items, and items with religious significance.
Additionally, certain animal products and endangered species are also prohibited from being imported into India.
All imported goods must adhere to the country’s customs regulations and must undergo extensive testing and certification before they can be shipped. Importers must provide the necessary documents and comply with all regulations in order to ensure that their shipments are cleared.
Documents & Customs Clearance
One thing to take into account when exporting cargo internationally is customs clearance. You must be aware of the customs clearance regulations of the destination countries when shipping cargo from India.
The following documentation must be given to local customs for international shipments by the supplier, consignee, or intermediary:
– A commercial invoice
– A packing list
– A bill of lading
– A certificate of origin

Major Sea Ports
Mumbai Port, India’s second oldest port, has been in operation since 1873. It is also India’s largest port in terms of area, with a 46.3-hectare site and a pier length of nearly 8,000 kilometers. One of the ideal places for an Indian seaport is Mumbai Port. Firstly, it is located on the west coast’s halfway point. Second, it has a 400-square-kilometer natural deep-water harbor sheltered on the east by the Konkan peninsula and on the west by the Mumbai island.
Mumbai is a multi-purpose port, meaning it can handle a wide variety of commodities. It has 32 berths and all berthing sites include refueling facilities. It has its own railway system, which is linked to the Central and Western Railways, two arms of the national railway network. The port also has excellent road access which makes ocean freight to Mumbai port a great option for companies.
Chennai Port, located in the southern metropolis of Chennai, is India’s third-oldest port. It was created in 1881, despite reports that marine trading along its undeveloped beaches dates back to the 1600s. Chennai, the largest port in the Bay of Bengal and dubbed as the “Gateway to South India,” is home to a huge number of maritime freight forwarders.
The oldest operating harbor is Kolkata port, which is 200 kilometers inland and one of India’s biggest riverine ports. On the Hooghly River, it is a single, homogeneous freshwater harbor. Most of Northern and Eastern India, as well as nearby nations like Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and the Autonomous Region of Tibet, are served by the harbor. It has been in use since the first half of the sixteenth century and is the destination of a sizable proportion of shipments to the North Eastern nations. A significant export from this harbor includes jute in addition to copper, textiles, iron ores, and liquid chemicals.
