Cloud Sea Shipping handles imports from Malaysia into India through Chennai. We arrange sea and air freight, coordinate with your Malaysian supplier and manage Indian customs clearance and delivery.

Malaysian Ports and Indian Arrival Points

Common loading ports are Port Klang, Penang and Pasir Gudang (Johor), with air cargo from Kuala Lumpur. In India we clear cargo through Chennai Port and Chennai International Airport.

Common Imports from Malaysia

Typical import categories include palm oil and oleochemicals, electronic and electrical components, rubber products, timber and furniture, chemicals and food ingredients. Tell us your commodity and we will confirm handling and paperwork.

Indian Import Requirements for Malaysian Goods

Indian importers need a valid IEC, a commercial invoice, packing list and Bill of Lading or Air Waybill, and the Bill of Entry is filed electronically. Edible oils and food products need FSSAI compliance. Malaysian goods may qualify for reduced customs duty under the ASEAN-India trade agreement or the India-Malaysia economic cooperation agreement when supported by a valid certificate of origin, so ask your supplier for the right form before shipping. Our customs consultancy team can confirm what applies.
