A transparent export process

How We Deliver from India to Your Door.

A transparent, fully documented export process — from enquiry and sourcing right through to shipping and tracking. No black-box shipments, no radio silence between PO and delivery, no surprises on the invoice.

01The Journey · Eight Steps

From your first enquiry to after-sales support

Every stage has an owner, a document, and a timestamp you can point at. This is exactly how a Mech Bridge Global export unfolds — no shortcuts, no hand-waving.

  1. STEP 01

    Enquiry — share your requirement

    Every export starts with clarity. You send us the product, the grade or standard, the approximate quantity, the destination port, and the timeline you are working to. If you have a drawing, a data sheet, or a photograph of the item, share it — the more precise the enquiry, the tighter the quote. You can enquire through the form on any product page, through WhatsApp on any of our numbers, or by email. A short reply usually comes back the same working day, either confirming what we need to quote or asking a small number of clarifying questions from our sourcing team.

    Enquiry — share your requirement
  2. STEP 02

    Sourcing — we match you to the right manufacturer

    This is where 25 years of family experience earns its keep. We do not send your enquiry to whichever supplier has stock — we send it to the manufacturer whose shop-floor equipment, material stock, and past output actually match your specification. For custom items we shortlist the right foundry, forge, or machine shop, not the closest one on a map. Because we hold direct relationships with our partner manufacturers, we can push back on unrealistic promises, negotiate against the actual production cost rather than a sales markup, and secure priority when your project needs it. You get the maker best suited to the requirement, at the maker's price.

    Sourcing — we match you to the right manufacturer
  3. STEP 03

    Quotation — competitive pricing with a full breakdown

    Our quotation lists the product specification, unit price, quantity, standard packing, and — where applicable — Incoterms options (typically FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva, CIF, or DAP to your named port). Anything unusual (special coating, marking, certificates) is called out on its own line so nothing lands as a surprise on the invoice. We also flag lead-time realistically. Stock items ship in 2–3 weeks; production items in 4–8 weeks; long-lead castings in 8–12 weeks. If a delivery window is tight, we say so before you commit rather than after the PO.

  4. STEP 04

    Quality Control & paid sampling

    For standard items we do pre-dispatch inspection at the manufacturer's premises: dimensional checks, visual inspection, packing verification, and where required a review of the mill test certificates. Photographs and, on request, a video walk-around come to you before the container is sealed. For custom casting and forging we run a paid sampling round after the PO is confirmed. You approve the first-article sample against the drawing before we release bulk production. Third-party inspection at works (SGS, TUV, Lloyds, Bureau Veritas) can be arranged where a project or operator ITP requires it.

    Quality Control & paid sampling
  5. STEP 05

    Payment — 100% advance terms

    Our standard commercial terms are 100% advance against a proforma invoice, remitted by SWIFT bank wire to our current account in Ahmedabad, India. This keeps unit prices tight because manufacturers can commit raw material immediately, and it keeps documentation clean because the payment currency, exchange rate, and remittance evidence are all one transaction. For custom casting and forging, we take the sampling amount up-front and the balance against sample approval and pre-dispatch. Alternative structures (LC at sight, LC at 30 days) are considered on a case-by-case basis for repeat buyers and larger project orders.

    Payment — 100% advance terms
  6. STEP 06

    Documentation — the full paperwork stack

    Every consignment ships with a complete export documentation set: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin (chamber-of-commerce attested), bill of lading (or airway bill), and, where applicable, cargo insurance certificate. Country-specific paperwork — GCC-region requirements for the Gulf, and pre-shipment inspection certificates — is handled up-front so customs on the receiving side does not stall the box. Our IEC (Import Export Code) is registered in the name of Mech Bridge Global with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, so every export is a legitimate, documented transaction — the kind of paper trail your CFO can reconcile without a follow-up call.

  7. STEP 07

    Packing & shipping

    Goods are packed on ISPM-15 heat-treated wooden pallets, shrink-wrapped, and strapped for long-distance sea freight. Cartons are labelled by PO line and part number so the storekeeper on the receiving side can match delivery to BOQ without opening every box. Container stuffing is photographed as a load-plan record. For sea freight we work with reputed forwarders through Mundra and Nhava Sheva; for air freight we use direct-service carriers to your destination hub. FCL, LCL, and consolidated shipments are all supported — we recommend the mode that best fits your volume and urgency in the quotation itself.

    Packing & shipping
  8. STEP 08

    Tracking & after-sales

    As soon as the container is on the vessel, we send you the tracking ID and sailing schedule. Any transhipment or berth-change updates go straight to your WhatsApp — no need to email us for an ETA. On the receiving side we help you interpret the arrival notice and coordinate with your customs house agent if you would like us to. Post-delivery, we stay available for questions on installation, operating conditions, and re-orders. Because we handpicked the manufacturer, we can also route product-specific technical queries back to the shop floor — a level of after-sales support that a random trading company simply cannot offer.

02First-Time Importers

New to importing? We guide you.

If this is your first international purchase from India, we take you through the paperwork, the payment mechanics, and the customs steps before you commit. We keep the language plain and make sure the first shipment lands cleanly — because the second one is only routine if the first one was.

  • A pre-PO walkthrough of Incoterms, remittance, and documentation — no jargon left unexplained.
  • Recommended freight forwarders in your country if you don't already have one.
  • Live availability on WhatsApp during customs clearance for immediate document queries.
  • After-arrival check-in to confirm the consignment matches the packing list, item for item.

03Documentation We Handle

The full export paperwork stack — ready for your customs agent

A clean paper trail is not a nice-to-have; it is the difference between a container that clears in a day and one that sits in a bonded yard incurring demurrage.

  • IEC Certificate

    Our Import Export Code, registered with the DGFT — the license every legitimate Indian exporter must hold.

  • Commercial Invoice

    The primary transaction document listing goods, quantity, unit price, currency, and terms of sale.

  • Packing List

    Line-item packing detail — carton count, gross/net weight, dimensions — matched to your PO.

  • Certificate of Origin

    Country-of-origin certification, chamber-of-commerce attested, for preferential duty and clearance.

  • Bill of Lading

    The carrier document of title. Airway bill for air freight, sea BOL for FCL / LCL.

  • Insurance Certificate

    Marine cargo insurance certificate against All-Risks (ICC-A) cover for the CIF value.

Country-specific paperwork — Saudi SASO / SABER, UAE COC, ISPM-15 pallet treatment certification, pre-shipment inspection reports — is prepared when the destination requires it. Ask us at enquiry so nothing is added last-minute.

04Payment Terms

Simple, transparent, and stated upfront

We keep our commercial terms boring on purpose — every dollar and every date is visible on the proforma invoice before you commit.

Standard

100 % Advance

Standard commercial term across our catalogue. Remitted by SWIFT wire against a proforma invoice. Keeps unit prices tight because manufacturers can commit raw material immediately.

Custom items

Paid Sampling — Custom Casting & Forging

For made-to-drawing items we take the sampling amount first, then the balance against sample approval and pre-dispatch. Only the sampling amount is at risk before you see and sign off a first article.

Alternative structures (LC at sight, LC at 30 days, staged payment) are considered case-by-case for repeat buyers and project-scale orders.

05Export / Import FAQ

Straight answers to the questions buyers ask most

If your question isn't here, WhatsApp us — a real person answers, usually the same working day.

Send us a short description of the product, the standard or grade you need, the approximate quantity, and your destination country or port. Any drawing, data sheet, or reference photo you can share makes the quote tighter. You can enquire through the form on this site, WhatsApp, or email — a first reply usually comes back the same working day.

MOQs are flexible and depend on the product, the manufacturer, and the shipment mode. Small trial orders of standard items are welcome; project-scale volumes get their own commercial treatment. Tell us the quantity you have in mind and we will advise on the most cost-effective break-point.

Roughly: quotation in 1–3 days after we have a clear enquiry; production of standard items in 2–5 weeks after PO; production of custom items in 6–10 weeks after sample approval; sea freight typically 20–35 days to Middle East / East Africa and 30–45 days to Southern Africa. We give you a realistic timeline at the quotation stage so nothing is a surprise.

Our standard terms are 100% advance by SWIFT wire against a proforma invoice. For custom casting and forging, we take the sampling amount up-front and the balance against sample approval and pre-dispatch. Alternative structures (LC at sight, staged payment) are considered for repeat and project-scale orders.

Every shipment ships with a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin (chamber-attested), and bill of lading. Cargo insurance certificate, pre-shipment inspection certificate, and country-specific paperwork (Saudi SASO/SABER, UAE COC where applicable) are prepared when required. Our IEC is registered under Mech Bridge Global.

Yes. We help you understand the paperwork your customs clearing agent will need, we can recommend forwarders in your country if you don't already have one, and we stay reachable during clearance so any queries on documentation are answered immediately.

Absolutely. First-time importers are a large part of our customer base. We walk you through Incoterms, remittance, documentation, and customs clearance before you commit; we keep language plain; and we make sure the first shipment lands cleanly so the second one is a routine transaction.

Yes. Our casting and forging capability is built for custom components. Share a CAD file (DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES, STL) or a scanned drawing with dimensions and material. After PO confirmation we run a paid sampling round with the matched foundry or forge, and only release bulk production once you sign off the first article.

Delays get flagged proactively — the moment we know, you know, whether it is a vessel transhipment or a berth-change. For damage in transit, insured shipments have a documented claim path we help you file; uninsured shipments are one of the reasons we recommend adding CIF cover to bulk orders.

Yes. Because we handpicked the manufacturer, we route technical questions on operating conditions, installation, and spares back to the actual shop floor. That is a level of after-sales support most trading companies simply cannot offer.
