Global freight, engineered to arrive
Scapex Global Forwarding moves ocean, air, road and rail cargo from India to 128 countries — booked, cleared, tracked and invoiced by one accountable team in Ahmedabad.
Your lane, priced in 24 hours
Tell us the origin, the destination and roughly what is moving. You get a firm all-in figure — freight, local charges, customs and delivery — not a rate that grows on the invoice.
What to have ready: pick-up address, destination port or door, commodity and HS code if you know it, carton dimensions and weight, and your Incoterm.

Twelve Indian gateways, worked directly
Sea, air and inland — the gates we file at ourselves rather than through a third party.

Seven services, one accountable team
Most forwarders split a shipment across departments and let the handover be your problem. We do not. The person who quotes your lane is the person who answers when the vessel rolls.

A freight forwarder in Ahmedabad, not a call centre for one
Scapex Global Forwarding is a licensed freight forwarding and customs clearance company based in Ahmedabad, working the Gujarat export belt directly. The people who quote your lane sit in Ahmedabad, speak to the carrier in Ahmedabad, and file your shipping bill themselves. Nothing is passed to a head office in another city and nothing comes back through a sales desk.
That matters more here than it would elsewhere, because Gujarat’s cargo is concentrated and its timing is tight. Mundra is roughly seven hours from the city by trailer and Pipavav about eight, so a container leaving a factory in Naroda, Vatva or Changodar on a Tuesday afternoon can be gated in for a Thursday cut-off — but only if the documents were right the first time. Air cargo moves through the Air Cargo Complex at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International, where we accept, screen and file directly rather than trucking to Mumbai by default.
We cover the wider belt from the same desk: Surat and Vapi for textiles and chemicals, Morbi for ceramics, Ankleshwar and Dahej for chemicals, Rajkot and Jamnagar for engineering and brass, Vadodara for pharmaceuticals and machinery.
Sector expertise across the Gujarat export base
Gujarat’s export base is concentrated, and each belt has one failure mode that costs more than all the others put together. We plan around the one that applies to you.

How a shipment moves with us
Quotation
You send the lane and the cargo. We come back inside 24 hours with an all-in figure and the assumptions it rests on.
Booking
Space confirmed against a named vessel or flight. Equipment released, collection scheduled backwards from the cut-off.
Clearance
Documents checked against each other before filing. Customs, agency permissions and VGM handled on one file.
Delivery
Milestones as they happen, destination clearance through our agent, and one invoice that matches the quotation.
Why exporters appoint Scapex
Trading since 2019 out of Ahmedabad, we were built around a single complaint we heard repeatedly from exporters: nobody owns the shipment.
A booking team that does not speak to the customs team. A rate that does not include the local charges. A tracking page that stops updating at the port of loading. We removed the handovers instead of managing them.
