1. Misclassified HS Codes

Why it's a problem:
Using the wrong HS (Harmonized System) code leads to incorrect duty calculation, customs objections, or penalty notices.
Solution:
Always consult a licensed customs expert. Harson Exim classifies all imports with correct 8-digit HS codes as per DGFT and CBIC databases.

2. Missing BIS Certification

Why it's a problem:
Certain machinery and electronics require BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) approval. Without it, your goods can be confiscated at port.
Solution:
Harson Exim checks BIS applicability before you place your order and helps obtain the certificate if needed.

3. Incomplete Documentation

Commonly missing documents:

4. Undervaluing Shipments to Save Duty

Why it backfires:
Customs may re-assess invoice value, impose fines, or blacklist importers for false declarations.
Solution:
Declare the real invoice value. We ensure your Bill of Entry matches your Proforma Invoice and actual payment records.

5. Choosing the Wrong Freight Option

Why it’s costly:
Air vs. sea (FCL vs. LCL) makes a huge impact on cost, transit time, and customs processes.
Solution:
Harson Exim helps you choose the most optimal shipping mode based on cargo weight, urgency, and port conditions.

6. Skipping EPCG When Eligible

Why it matters:
Importing capital machinery without EPCG means paying 25–40% extra in customs duty.
Solution:
We help eligible importers register under the EPCG scheme, saving lakhs in upfront duty.

7. No On-Ground China Coordination

Why it’s risky:
Lack of pre-shipment inspection or language barriers may result in wrong or substandard machinery.
Solution:
We work with verified suppliers and offer third-party inspection services through our China-based partners.
