Freight forwarding services in Chennai

What Siva Shipping’s Freight Forwarding Services Actually Cover

At Siva Shipping, we use a simple phrase internally: “end-to-end, no excuses.” That means when you hand us a shipment, we own it from your warehouse door to your buyer’s doorstep. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

International Air Freight Forwarding

When speed is everything — when your buyer is waiting, when the goods are perishable, when the deadline is tomorrow — air freight is the answer. Our air freight forwarding team handles everything from booking priority cargo space on the right flight, to preparing the airway bill, to navigating the customs process at both origin and destination. We are IATA accredited, which means we meet the highest global standards for air cargo handling. Whether it’s 5 kg or 500 kg, we move it with the same level of care and urgency.

International Sea Freight Forwarding

For large volumes of cargo where time is less critical than cost, sea freight is the most economical choice. We handle Full Container Load (FCL) shipments — where your cargo gets an exclusive container — and Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments, where your cargo shares container space with others and you only pay for what you use. Our sea freight team works with leading shipping lines and manages all the documentation, port handling, customs clearance at origin and destination, and last-mile delivery.

Customs Clearance — The Part Most Businesses Fear Most

If there is one area where businesses lose the most time and money in freight, it is customs clearance. Wrong HS codes, missing certificates, incorrect valuations, delayed submissions — any one of these can hold your cargo for days or weeks. Our customs clearance team has 30+ years of experience specifically in this area. We file all customs entries electronically through the ICEGATE system, handle EXIM documentation, manage DGFT schemes, and ensure your cargo clears quickly, compliantly, and without surprises.

Multi-Modal Freight Forwarding

Not every shipment travels by a single mode of transport. Sometimes your cargo needs to go by air to one country, then road to the final destination. Sometimes it’s sea to a port, then rail inland. Our multi-modal freight forwarding service integrates road, rail, air, and sea into a single seamless journey for your cargo. You don’t need to coordinate with five different companies — you coordinate with us, and we handle the rest.

Domestic Freight Forwarding

Freight forwarding isn’t only for international shipments. Moving cargo from Chennai to Mumbai, or from Chennai to Delhi for re-export, or from a factory in Sriperumbudur to a warehouse in Bangalore — all of this requires the same level of documentation discipline and carrier management. Our domestic freight forwarding service covers road, rail, and domestic air cargo, ensuring your goods move efficiently across India.

Warehousing and Distribution

Sometimes your freight journey includes a pause — goods need to be stored, consolidated, re-packed, or redistributed before the final delivery. Our warehousing and distribution service provides secure storage facilities with 24/7 CCTV monitoring, real-time inventory tracking, and flexible storage durations. Your cargo sits safely until it’s time to move.

Project Cargo and Oversized Shipments

Some cargo simply doesn’t fit into a standard container or a regular aircraft hold. Industrial machinery, wind turbine components, heavy construction equipment — these are what the industry calls project cargo. Our team has deep experience in planning, routing, and executing oversized and overweight shipment movements, including break-bulk and RoRo (Roll-on Roll-off) operations coordinated through our strong global vessel connections.
