Any commercial shipment, whether it is for import or export, must first clear customs. Simply put, businesses that export and import goods into and out of the nation must pass through a variety of customs barriers set up by the government.
The creation of documents for submission online or physically with the package is frequently required for customs clearance. This aids the responsible authorities in figuring out the taxes and fees that will be applied to the shipment.
The type of goods being shipped often determines the paperwork required for customs clearance. Depending on the country of origin and destination of the shipment, it could also vary. However, as a rule, while importing or exporting goods, most businesses are required to complete a set of general documentation.

All goods brought into India are subject to extensive inspection, appraisal, assessment, and evaluation by the customs system. This aids customs officials in applying the proper tax and verifying the goods for unauthorised imports. The importer must have an IEC number provided by the DFGT in order for their import to be allowed in India. No IEC number is needed if the items are imported for personal use.
