The Complete Journey
How International Jewellery Shipping Works — Step by Step
From the moment you initiate a shipment to final delivery at your buyer's door, here's the complete process managed by BVC.
Onboarding — One Time
Customs Registration & Export Readiness
BVC handles your complete KYC verification and customs registration with Indian Customs. Your Authorised Dealer (AD) Code is integrated into your customs profile, and your business becomes fully export-ready within 7 working days. This is a one-time setup done once and valid for all future shipments.
Per Shipment — Preparation
Shipment Booking & Documentation
Initiate your shipment through BVC's booking platform. Provide the shipment details — cargo description, declared value, destination, and recipient information. BVC's documentation consultants, verify, and submit all customs documentation including the commercial invoice, packing list, and shipment bill for your consignment.
Pickup
Secure Pickup from Your Premises
BVC arranges an armoured vehicle pickup directly from your office, workshop, or secure facility. All cargo is professionally packed to international shipping standards, sealed, and documented before transit. Every pickup is coordinated with your schedule and confirmed in advance.
Export Clearance
Indian Customs Filing & Export Clearance
BVC files your shipment data directly with ICEGATE (Indian Customs) via their proprietary automated customs platform. Our expert customs brokers manage the complete export clearance process. With BVC's established relationships and technology-driven workflows, export clearance is completed in as little as 3 hours — minimising wait times before your shipment boards the flight.
International Transit
Insured International Transit via Secure Channels
Your shipment travels via secure, priority transit channels specifically designed for gems and jewellery, with real-time tracking and full insurance coverage maintained throughout the journey.
Import Clearance at Destination
Destination Customs Clearance & Import Compliance
At the destination country, the shipment enters customs. BVC's network partners manage local import clearance, duties assessment, and compliance with destination-country regulations. All required import documentation is handled, including any destination-specific permits or declarations required for jewellery and precious metals.
Final Mile
Secure Delivery to Recipient's Door
The final delivery is made directly to your buyer's or recipient's address with confirmation of receipt. BVC's end-to-end service means your cargo is tracked and insured from the moment it leaves your premises until it is physically handed over at the destination — ensuring complete chain of custody and zero gaps in coverage.
Post-Shipment
Post-Clearance Support & Duty Benefits
After the shipment is delivered, BVC assists with post-clearance requirements including duty drawback claims under gold purchase schemes, bonded warehousing arrangements, certificate of origin documentation for eligible shipments, and all compliance records required for future audits or regulatory purposes.
Customs & Compliance
Understanding Jewellery Customs in India
Customs is the most critical — and most misunderstood — part of international jewellery shipping. BVC is India's first and largest customs broker specialising in gems and jewellery, with over 65 years of expertise and a commanding share of India's high-value customs clearance segment.
Our technology-driven platform files directly with ICEGATE, while our expert consultants ensure full compliance with Indian and international regulations at every step.
