Importer of Record

Someone has to be the importer.
It doesn’t have to be you.

BRDG can be the Importer of Record in India, the GCC and the EU. We hold the registrations, we take the import liability, and we handle the duty, the tax and the product paperwork. You ship into the market without building a company inside it.

Want only the importer of record? That’s fine. That’s the whole job. Selling, distribution and business development are there if you want them, never required.

What are you dealing with?

Pick the sentence closest to yours.

“We’ve been told we need a CBAM declarant.”

We are one, and we file for you

“Our goods are stuck on paperwork or a certificate.”

Send us the shipment, we’ll tell you what’s missing

“We need buyers or distributors in India or the Gulf.”

What we take on

Licences and registrations

We hold the registrations an importer has to have, so your goods have a legal importer from day one.

Duty and tax

We declare the customs value, pay the duty, and reclaim the import tax through our local entity, reconciled against actuals monthly.

Certificates and labels

Approvals and labelling per market: BIS, CDSCO and EPR in India, CE, REACH and EPR in the EU.

Customs clearance

Entry, inspections and release, with your freight forwarder or ours.

Warehousing

Bonded and duty-paid storage in India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the EU.

Delivery onwards

Out to marketplaces, shops, wholesalers or the end customer.

When brands come to us

You want to sell in a market before you set up a company there.

Your buyer or the marketplace refuses to be the importer.

A shipment is stuck because nobody local will take the import liability.

You need the product approvals held locally, not just a freight quote.

You are testing a market and don't want fixed costs in it yet.
