Why bourse logistics is different
Diamond trading hubs run on speed, trust, and documented transfers
Bharat Diamond Bourse in Mumbai and Surat Diamond Bourse in Surat are not just office buildings — they are controlled trading environments where diamonds change hands dozens of times a day, between thousands of members, across different bourses.
A parcel moving from one member's office to another between bourses and SEEPZ needs to arrive with a export invoice or delivery challan and a clear custody record. A parcel moving from a BDB office to a trading house in Antwerp needs to clear the SDB or BDB customs house, carry the right export documentation like export invoice, airway bill and evidence of insurance that buyer's compliance team can file. The challenge for bourse members is that they need logistics that operates at the pace of trading. A deal agreed at 11 AM in a BDB office may need a parcel collected and delivered to the customs counter by 3 PM for that day's export. Regular courier companies cannot operate at this speed within the bourse environment. They are not present inside the complex, do not know the member network, and cannot navigate the bourse's security protocols quickly enough to make same-day movements work.
“In a diamond bourse, logistics is not a back-office function. It is part of the trading operation itself. Speed and security are not trade-offs — they are both required, simultaneously.”
BVC has offices inside both Bharat Diamond Bourse, SEEPZ, SEZ, SHB and Surat Diamond Bourse. We understand the member access protocols, the customs clearance procedures at each bourse, the SNZ regulations at IDTC, and the specific documentation requirements for every type of movement — intra-bourse, inter-city, and international. We move at the pace of the trading floor because we operate from within it.
Types of movement
Three distinct movement types — each with its own requirements
Bourse logistics covers three fundamentally different types of diamond movement. BVC handles all three, with protocols tailored to each.
Intra-Bourse Transfers
Parcels moving between member offices inside the same complex — BDB Mumbai or SDB Surat. Collected and delivered same day, within hours, with a tamper-evident seal and a documented custody record from desk to desk.
Inter-City Movements
Movements between different trading locations — BDB in Mumbai to SDB, SHB & SEZ in Surat. Next-day service, with GPS tracking and digital proof of delivery.
Cross-border international shipments
Diamond deemed exports can move seamlessly between member offices from one bourse (SEZ) to another, ensuring fast, secure, and fully compliant diamond logistics movement. All Bourse and SEEPZ security protocols are strictly followed at every handover point to maintain safety, transparency, and regulatory compliance.
How it works
From request to delivery — every stage of a bourse movement
Click each step to understand what BVC does — and what India's compliance requirements look like at each stage of a diamond bourse movement.
Scheduling a bourse movement
Members request collections via BVC's bourse desk — by phone or email. For intra-bourse movements, a collection team is dispatched within the hour. For inter-city or international movements, the request triggers documentation preparation alongside the pickup scheduling.
BVC's presence inside BDB and SDB means scheduling happens in real time. Bourse members trading on the day need same-day responsiveness.

What BVC brings
Capabilities built for the bourse environment
Click any card to understand what each capability means for bourse members, exchange traders, and diamond trade professionals in India.
Physical presence at BDB and SDB
Offices inside both major Indian bourses.
BVC has operational offices inside Bharat Diamond Bourse, Mumbai and Surat Diamond Bourse. This is not a claim about nearby offices — our teams are inside the complex every trading day, with bourse access and member familiarity that an outside courier cannot replicate.
Bourse-specific logistics expertise
Deep understanding of diamond trading floor operations.
We understand how the trading floor operates — the pace of deal-making, the member access protocols, the customs counter timings, and the SNZ movement rules. This knowledge is built from operating inside the bourse, not from reading about it.
Same-day customs filing
BVC registered at BDB and SDB — Shipping Bills filed same day.
BVC's Clearing House Agents are registered at both BDB's customs facility and SDB's dedicated customs clearance centre. Shipping Bills are filed through ICEGATE on the same day as collection. A deal agreed in the morning can be in the customs queue by the end of the day.
Indian regulatory context
What bourse members must comply with in India and internationally
These are the compliance requirements that apply to diamond movements in and out of India's bourses. BVC manages these for every movement.
SDB customs house — India's largest diamond clearance centre
SDB's dedicated customs clearance centre manages the export of diamonds from Surat. Since CBIC approved SDB as a customs custodian, parcels can be cleared at SDB and sent directly to Mumbai Airport via a secure transit route. BVC at SDB files Shipping Bills via ICEGATE and manages the Surat-to-Mumbai transshipment.
GST on intra-India bourse movements
Diamond movements between bourse members within India attract GST on cut and polished stones (HSN 7102). GST invoices must accompany every domestic transaction. E-way bills are required for certain transaction values and routes. Exports from the bourse are zero-rated under GST, with ITC refund entitlement for exporters.
GJEPC records for exports
All rough diamond imports and exports require GJEPC registration under the Kimberley Process framework. BVC ensures all required GJEPC documentation is included in every export consignment from BDB and SDB.
