Air and sea freight between Turkey and India. Sea routes via Suez Canal to Mumbai, Nhava Sheva and Chennai — air cargo to Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.
Turkey–India bilateral trade has grown steadily, with Turkey exporting machinery, chemicals, automotive parts, marble, iron and steel to India, while importing pharmaceutical products, chemicals, machinery and cotton. The sea route via Suez Canal connects Mersin and Istanbul to Nhava Sheva (Mumbai), Chennai and Kolkata. Air freight via Istanbul connects to all major Indian airports with multiple daily connections. Canxansa manages the full freight chain including Turkish export documentation and Indian customs clearance coordination.
Express and standard air cargo from Istanbul (IST/SAW) to Mumbai (BOM), Delhi (DEL), Bangalore (BLR) and Chennai (MAA). Direct and connecting flights available. Ideal for pharmaceuticals, electronics, fashion and time-critical cargo.
Full container loads from Mersin or Istanbul to Nhava Sheva (Mumbai), Chennai or Kolkata via the Suez Canal. 20' and 40' containers. Most cost-effective for large industrial, marble, steel or construction cargo.
Groupage (less-than-container) freight for smaller shipments. Consolidated with other cargo to Nhava Sheva or Chennai. Cost-effective for 1–15 CBM shipments that don't require a dedicated container.
FCL sea freight from Mersin or Istanbul to Nhava Sheva (Mumbai) typically takes 14–18 days via the Suez Canal. LCL groupage adds a few days due to consolidation. Transit times to Chennai or Kolkata are similar, depending on the carrier and vessel schedule.
We serve all major Indian ports — Nhava Sheva / JNPT (Mumbai), Chennai, Kolkata, Mundra and Cochin. Nhava Sheva is the most commonly used for FCL shipments from Turkey due to frequent sailings and broad carrier coverage.
Standard documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading or airway bill, and a Turkish export customs declaration. Indian customs may require an import licence for certain regulated goods and a BIS conformity certificate for electronics.
India levies customs duties, integrated GST (IGST) and social welfare surcharge on most imports. Rates vary by HS code. Turkey and India do not currently have a bilateral free trade agreement, so standard MFN rates apply. We can advise on applicable duties before shipment.
