We source, book, and clear factory cargo from China into India. Ocean freight, customs, and delivery are handled by one Coimbatore desk instead of five handoffs.

About SourcersBiz

Six services on one desk, from the factory quote to the truck in India, including interiors and furnishings.
Step 01
Ocean and air bookings from Chinese ports, plus the Indian bill of entry, duty, and out-of-charge, so the container is not sitting while papers catch up.

Factories and price breaks
We shortlist factories for the product you actually want to land in India. We check what they make, what they have shipped before, and whether the price still works after freight and duty. Trade directories, floor visits, and previous orders narrow the list before anyone asks you for a deposit.

Samples, terms, and dates
Credentials, samples, and references come before a transfer. We negotiate unit price, minimums, payment milestones, and the date the cargo must be ready for the vessel. All of it goes in writing, so a verbal factory promise does not become a surprise at Ningbo.

Inspection before stuffing
After the terms are agreed, the order is placed and inspected against the spec before it is stuffed. For furniture and furnishings that means finish, size, and packing. For general cargo it means quantity, labeling, and a packing list that customs can read.

Port, customs, and the last mile
We book the container or consolidation, file Indian customs, and hand the cargo to a truck for Coimbatore or whichever city you named. You get the vessel, the bill of lading, and a note when it is out of charge. No silent tracker.
Where the work happens
Factories, ports, showrooms, and finished rooms on the China to India run. These are the places a shipment actually passes through before it reaches you.
Questions before you book
Customs, timing, what we carry, interiors, tracking, and how a quote is built. If yours is not here, write to the desk.
Direct sailings from Ningbo, Shenzhen, or Yiwu to Nhava Sheva, Mundra, or Chennai commonly spend 18 to 32 days on the water. Factory readiness, booking, origin pickup, Indian customs, and the truck to Coimbatore or another city sit on top of that. A planned door-to-door move is often five to eight weeks. Air freight is the shorter path when the shipment cannot wait. We put dates on the plan before you pay the factory.
General commercial cargo: furniture and furnishings, home and office interiors, machinery and parts, packaging, textiles, and other finished goods that are legal to import. If an item needs a special license, has an unclear origin, or cannot be invoiced properly, we say so before the order is placed, not when the ship is already at the pilot station.
Indian customs duty follows the HS code, the declared value, and any exemption that actually applies. SourcersBiz lines up the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and supporting papers, files the bill of entry, and stays on the file until the cargo is out of charge. Duty is quoted as a range before sailing and confirmed against the assessment. It is not folded into a vague landed cost after the vessel has left.
Interiors are part of the same desk. We follow your drawings or help shape them, source sofas, beds, tables, lighting, panels, and soft furnishings from Chinese factories, inspect the finish, and ship them for homes, offices, and showrooms in India. Installation can be arranged when the project needs it.
Once the container is gated in, you get the bill of lading number and the vessel name. We write at booking, on board, arrival notice, customs filing, and out-of-charge, then send the truck details for the last mile. Ask any time for the carrier tracking link on WhatsApp or email. The thread stays with the Coimbatore team, not a rotating inbox.
The ocean rate moves with volume (LCL cube or a full container), the origin city, the Indian discharge port, and whether space is tight that month. Duty, GST, origin trucking, inspection, and inland delivery sit beside it. We break those lines out before you confirm, so a low factory price is not undone by an unnamed charge in Chennai.
