Industries in Jaipur and how we support them
Jaipur is known for cutting coloured gemstones, especially emeralds, and for jewellery manufacturing, with a gems and jewellery special economic zone at Sitapura. Handicrafts, carpets, blue pottery and block-printed textiles from Sanganer and Bagru are other typical exports, often shipped in smaller lots to retailers abroad. Ziem Logistics supports these exporters with secure air freight via DEL or JAI under our own air waybills, On-Board Courier for high-value parcels, consolidated sea freight via the Gujarat ports and customs clearance by our partner team in the Ziem network.

Jaipur International Airport (JAI) at Sanganer, south of the city, handles domestic cargo and limited international services, mainly to the Gulf. Much of Jaipur's international air freight, especially high-value gems and jewellery, is trucked to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in Delhi, which offers a far wider choice of flights. Jaipur has no seaport; sea freight is handled through inland container depots in the Jaipur area and moved by rail or road to the Gujarat ports of Mundra and Pipavav or to Nhava Sheva.
NH48 connects Jaipur with Delhi to the north-east and with Ajmer, Udaipur and Gujarat to the south-west. The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor runs through Rajasthan and carries container trains towards the Gujarat ports. The industrial areas of Sitapura and Mahindra World City Jaipur are linked to the airport and highway network.

For air freight to and from India we issue our own air waybills.
Importers in India need an Importer-Exporter Code (IEC).
Avoiding delays at customs
Most customs delays come from inconsistent documents: different values on invoice and packing list, missing HS codes or unclear goods descriptions. We review the documents against each other before departure, so the declaration in India can be filed without queries.

Can export containers from Jaipur be cleared locally?
Yes. Containers can be stuffed and cleared at an inland container depot in the Jaipur area and then moved by rail or road to the port. Clearance is done by a partner team in the Ziem network, under the Ziem Logistics brand and to our procedures.
What documents do gem and jewellery exporters in Jaipur need?
Besides the commercial invoice, packing list and IEC, gem and jewellery exports have specific valuation and documentation requirements. Exporters operating in the Sitapura SEZ follow zone procedures. We check the requirements with you before the shipping bill is filed.
