International Cross-Trade
Global merchant exporters frequently contract goods manufactured in one foreign nation for direct shipment to a buyer in another third country, bypassing physical entry into Indian customs territory. Pacifica Industrial Services Pvt. Ltd. provides specialized cross-trade forwarding and triangular trade documentation management for institutional Indian trading houses.
Cross-trade logistics requires exceptional documentation precision and confidentiality. Our experienced documentation desk orchestrates the issuance of legitimate Switch Bills of Lading (Switch B/L), replacing origin supplier details with your company identity as the shipper of record to protect proprietary manufacturer and pricing relationships. All procedures strictly comply with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) merchanting trade regulations and international maritime transport conventions.
Guaranteed confidentiality ensuring the overseas consignee never sees original manufacturer invoices, packing lists, or supplier locations.
Full surrender and cancellation of the first set of original Bills of Lading before issuance of the second neutral set under carrier authorization.
Structuring triangular transactions to comply with RBI FEMA regulations, trade credit timelines, and Authorized Dealer (AD) bank requirements.
Direct bookings through international ocean and air carriers on non-Indian trade lanes (e.g. East Asia to Europe, Middle East to Africa).
