India ↔ UK first. Then the world.
The problem

Importing one product means answering twenty questions

Today that takes a customs consultant, three spreadsheets, WhatsApp chats with factories, an HS-code website, freight quotes and a lot of googling. Portoris turns it into one brief.

Who manufactures this in India?
What commodity code applies?
Is it duty-free under the FTA?
Does it count as Indian origin?
What if the buttons come from China?
What documents prove origin?
What's freight from Chennai?
What's import VAT?
What's my landed cost per unit?
LCL or FCL?
Who's reliable?
Who clears it at Felixstowe?
One answer: £4.12 landed · duty 0% under the FTA · documents listed
