Depending on the product, you may also need a certificate of origin, APEDA certificate, phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, or BIS certification. Requirements vary by commodity and destination country — our team reviews your specific shipment and provides a tailored checklist."},{"question":"How long does customs clearance take in India?","answer":"With complete and accurate documentation, export customs clearance typically takes 1–2 working days at major ports like JNPT and Mundra. Import clearance can take 2–4 working days. Delays occur when paperwork is incomplete, HS codes are incorrect, or shipments are flagged for physical examination. KrossLand pre-reviews all documents before filing to minimise clearance time."},{"question":"What is the difference between FCL and LCL?","answer":"FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire container for your cargo — ideal for volumes above 15 CBM with faster transit and lower damage risk. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your goods share container space with other shipments — economical for smaller volumes but with additional consolidation time. We provide quotes for both and recommend the best option based on your cargo size, budget, and timeline."},{"question":"Which incoterm is best for a first-time exporter?","answer":"Many first-time Indian exporters use FOB (Free on Board) for ocean shipments, where the seller's responsibility ends when goods are loaded on the vessel. CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight) is also popular when buyers want the seller to arrange freight and insurance. The best incoterm depends on your buyer's preference, your ability to arrange freight, and who should bear risk during transit. We advise on the right incoterm for every deal."},{"question":"Can KrossLand handle door-to-door shipments?","answer":"Yes. We coordinate the complete shipment cycle — pickup from your factory or warehouse, export customs clearance, international freight (ocean, air, or road), import clearance at destination, and final delivery to your buyer's door. Our 300+ global agent partners enable door-to-door service across 150+ countries."},{"question":"How do I get an export freight quote?","answer":"Share your cargo details — commodity, weight, dimensions (L×W×H), number of packages, origin city, destination country/port, preferred incoterm, and expected shipping date — via our contact form, email, or WhatsApp. We respond with a detailed quote within 2 business hours, including freight cost, local charges, and estimated transit time."},{"question":"What is RoDTEP and how do I claim it?","answer":"RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) is a government scheme that refunds embedded central, state, and local duties on exported goods. Rates are notified per HS code by DGFT. To claim, exporters file shipping bills with the correct RoDTEP flag and receive transferable scrips. KrossLand helps ensure your shipping bills are filed correctly to capture eligible RoDTEP benefits."},{"question":"Do you handle specialised cargo like perishables or hazardous goods?","answer":"Yes. We handle temperature-controlled (reefer) shipments for perishables and pharmaceuticals, DG-certified hazardous cargo with proper MSDS documentation, oversized project cargo, and high-value goods with enhanced insurance. Each cargo type has specific packaging, documentation, and carrier requirements — our team manages all of it."}]}]}],"$L27"]}]
