In today’s global economy, sourcing metal parts from countries like India offers unmatched cost advantages and production capacity. But for many buyers, the challenge lies in ensuring smooth compliance and seamless logistics. Mistakes in documentation, labeling, or customs handling can lead to costly delays
At Bisonox, we simplify this process—managing sourcing, quality checks, and global export logistics under one roof. Here’s what global buyers need to know when importing metal parts.
1. Get the Documentation Right
Each export shipment must be supported by a set of documents that satisfy both Indian regulations and the destination country’s customs.
Key documents include:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- HS Code Classification
- Bill of Lading (Sea) / Airway Bill (Air)
- Certificate of Origin (CoO)
- Inspection Reports (optional but often required)
Bisonox handles all documentation, ensuring consistency and accuracy for every shipment.
2. Understand Destination Country Compliance
Different countries require specific declarations or standards:
- USA: May request product origin info and component breakdown
- UK: Post-Brexit regulations require UKCA marking for some products
- EU: CE Marking, REACH, and RoHS may apply depending on the product
- Australia: RCM compliance for electronics and proper documentation for industrial components
Even when certifications aren’t mandatory, compliance speeds up customs clearance.
3. Packaging & Labeling Must Meet Global Standards
International shipments must be packed to withstand long transit and rough handling. Labelling should include:
- Country of origin
- Part numbers
- Handling instructions
- Weight and dimensions
We use export-grade packaging and label shipments according to client or country requirements.
4. Choose a Logistics Partner Who Understands Metal
Metal parts require careful planning in logistics due to weight, size, and potential corrosion risks. Be sure your partner can:
- Consolidate and optimize freight costs
- Handle customs clearance smoothly
- Track shipments across borders
Bisonox coordinates with freight forwarders and customs agents to manage door-to-door delivery.
5. Work With an Export-Savvy Sourcing Partner
Trying to manage multiple suppliers, documents, and shipping routes can overwhelm any procurement team. That’s why more global companies now prefer a one-stop sourcing and export partner.
At Bisonox, we handle everything from manufacturer selection to shipment delivery—so you can focus on your business.
