Restricted Licences
Legal clearance for restricted import-export items — chemicals, SCOMET goods, wildlife products, pharma & more. We navigate the full multi-authority approval process.
Wrong classification = customs seizure, not just delay
Restricted items shipped without proper licences risk seizure, penalties, and IEC cancellation. Correct HS classification and pre-shipment licensing is non-negotiable.
