Plan around local peaks in Kolkata
Weather and season: Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal (May and October to November) can disrupt operations. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In India, Diwali (October/November), Holi and regional festivals that differ by state can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
Customs clearance in Kolkata
Every import and export from Kolkata needs a customs declaration. In India, customs clearance is handled by a dedicated partner team that works under the Ziem Logistics brand, to our procedures and with the shipment data we prepare. You deal only with Ziem Logistics, from booking to release.
