Freight forwarder in Kolkata

Scapex moves cargo out of Kolkata through Kolkata and Haldia, with the inland leg, the clearance and the ocean or air booking handled on one file.

Getting cargo out of Kolkata

The natural gateway for Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and the Far East. Draft restrictions on the river mean the vessel sizes are smaller, so schedule reliability is worth checking before the rate.

What ships from here

Kolkata and its surrounding belt export leather, tea, jute, engineering goods and chemicals. Each of those has its own documentation and packing requirements, and we plan around the one that applies rather than the generic case.
