US Tariffs Are Changing – What’s Next for Indian Exporters? - Saurabh Goyal

Prime Day is coming. Here is the step-by-step guide for getting your inventory from India to US FBA shelves—without the usual headaches - Saurabh Goyal
India can become a leader in exports, but only if we build a strong compliance foundation - Saurabh Goyal
US tariff hikes on Chinese goods now create a big opening for Indian exporters. To make the most of this, we must build trust and reliability in every stage. Trust is the core of trade—between you, your buyers, and every other partner: logistics teams, customs brokers, banks, and each global trade authority.
I often hear from exporters, "my logistics company offers one single freight rate that covers duties for every product." This is a red flag. Each product category has different rates, requirements, and duty structures.
I regret never meeting Fred Smith. Some icons you just want to thank in person - Saurabh Goyal
Fred Smith changed the possibilities of commerce and global trade. He didn’t just start FedEx-he reimagined what logistics could be. He made “overnight” shipping real, long before anyone thought it possible. Today, so many of us take next-day delivery for granted. But he was the one who saw this future decades before the rest.
Misdeclared CSB-5 shipments are slowing our march to USD 300 B in
ecommerce exports - Saurabh Goyal
If you do ecommerce exports you know CSB-4, CSB-5, and EDPMS, everyone has a story or two. Let's understand the noise.
The CSB framework aims to simplify compliance for low value shipments, enable GST refunds, and provide export scheme benefits, CSB-4 is for gifts/ samples, and CSB-5 for commercial shipments.
China’s tariffs dropped from 145% to 30%. India’s at 10%. Who’s really winning here?
Headlines change fast. Many wonder if this new change will dampen India’s export story. When I look closer, I see a shift in global supply chains—and big new opportunities opening up.
