Services
Four jobs, one depot partner.
A C&F agent usually runs all four for a brand: receiving, storage, dispatch and the paperwork. Here is what each covers, and how it compares with running your own depot.

Questions
Questions about our services.
Something else? Share your requirement or call +91 98253 00879.
Are you a customs clearing agent?
No. We are a carrying and forwarding (C&F) agent: we hold your stock in our warehouses and dispatch it to your distributors and dealers. We don’t handle customs clearance, imports or exports.
Can you take over from our current C&F agent?
Yes. We plan the stock transfer with your team and the outgoing agent, so dispatches to your distributors continue while the stock moves to our warehouse.
How do you charge?
C&F agents are usually paid a percentage of the value dispatched, a rate per case or per tonne, or a fixed monthly fee. We quote once we understand your volumes and the states you cover.
Can we visit the warehouse?
Yes. Share your requirement or call us, and we’ll arrange a visit to our Aslali warehouse.
