Cargo shipping from Europe to India
Cargo shipping from Europe to India has never been busier. Businesses are growing. Families are relocating. And the demand for European goods in India keeps rising year on year.But here’s the thing — moving goods halfway across the world isn’t simple. Customs, paperwork, packing, and transit times. It all adds up. And one wrong step can cost you time and money.
Â
That’s where we come in. At Aeon India, we handle the whole thing for you. Big shipments, small ones, fragile items, heavy machinery — we’ve done it all. So you don’t have to worry.
Methods of Shipping to India from Europe
When shipping to India, there are two main routes to choose from. Air freight for speed. Sea freight for larger loads and better value.
Shipping By Air Freight
Air freight gets your cargo to India in 3 to 7 days. That’s fast. It works best for urgent, time-sensitive shipments. Think electronics, spare parts, or stock that’s needed on the shop floor now. Yes, it costs more. But sometimes speed is worth every penny.
Shipping By Sea Freight
Look, sea freight is slow. Twenty to thirty-five days from Europe to India, give or take. But it’s also far cheaper — and for heavy or bulky goods, that gap in price is huge. FCL gives you the whole container. LCL means splitting space with others and paying only for what you actually fill. Simple as that.
What we Import to India
We regularly ship goods across all these categories:
- Household Goods & Personal Effects — Moving back to India? Or sending your things ahead? Honestly, no item is too big or too ordinary. Sofas, clothing, kitchen boxes, the random things you somehow can't leave behind. We pack everything carefully and track each shipment from the moment it leaves your door.
- Textiles & Garments — European fashion and fabrics sell well in India. We ship bulk textile orders and individual designer pieces alike. And the paperwork? We sort that too. Missing one document can mean days of delays at the port. Sometimes longer. Not ideal when stock is waiting to hit shelves.
- Consumer Goods — (FMCG, Electronics, Appliances) — these need to move quickly. We keep your commercial shipments on schedule. Whether it's a pallet of packaged goods or a batch of home appliances, we've got it covered.
- Engineering, Industrial & Construction Equipment — Heavy kit needs careful handling. A heavy kit doesn't move itself — and it certainly doesn't move well without the right planning. We sort the freight method, the equipment, and the paperwork before anything leaves the ground. No scrambling at the last minute.
- Automotive & Machinery — Cars, spare parts, heavy machinery. We ship them all. RoRo services work well for vehicles. Flat-rack containers handle oversized machinery without a problem.
- Plastic Products — Industrial plastic parts, bulk packaging, raw plastic goods — we ship these regularly. Weight, volume, and customs classification are all handled correctly from the start.
- Crafts & Cultural Exports — Handcrafted goods, antiques, artwork — these need extra care at customs: valuation documents, origin certificates, and proper classification. We know what Indian customs need, and we get it right.
- Boats & Yachts — Got a boat to move from Europe? We arrange RoRo or flat-rack container shipping for vessels of various sizes. All technical paperwork and port formalities are sorted on your behalf.
