S. K. Agency is a licensed Custom House Agent and freight forwarder, a partnership firm founded in 1990 by three partners, Mr. Ketan Desai, Mr. Sanjay Kolge and Mr. Subhash Kolge (retired). We clear and move import and export cargo through Mumbai's air and sea gateways and the two major ports of Gujarat, on our own Custom Broker Licence No. 11/864.
The firm holds Authorised Economic Operator (AEO-LO) status from the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and is a member of the Brihanmumbai Custom Brokers Association. AEO status is the one that changes things for an importer: consignments filed by an AEO certified broker are risk scored more favourably, so they are selected for physical examination less often and released faster.
We publish the numbers, so none of this has to be taken on trust.
We are unusual in being both the freight forwarder and the licensed customs broker on the same file. Most importers use one firm for the freight and another for the clearance, and the handover between them is where avoidable delay and finger pointing occurs. Our services cover customs clearance, air and ocean freight forwarding, over dimensional cargo and project logistics, ship chartering and broking, FTWZ and bonded warehousing, inland transport, and the regulatory registrations importers need before cargo can clear.
Beyond our own offices we work through established associates at the other major Indian ports and airports, so a consignment landing outside our footprint is still handled against one point of contact.
Capital goods, plant and machinery under Project Import; solar and renewable energy equipment; oil, gas and petrochemical; instruments and appliances requiring BIS or MeitY registration; steel, break bulk and RORO cargo; and perishable and regulated goods needing FSSAI, Plant Quarantine or Animal Quarantine clearance. We also handle Special Valuation Branch registration and case closure for importers buying from related parties, which is specialist work most brokers refer out.
Customs work rewards precision more than speed. A tariff heading argued correctly at assessment saves a client more than any amount of chasing afterwards, and a Bill of Entry filed ahead of vessel arrival saves more than either. Most of what we are paid for is invisible when it goes well: the classification that did not get queried, the container that never accrued demurrage, the SVB case that closed. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it is why multinationals, Indian corporates and international forwarders have kept using the firm through more than three decades of regulatory change.
We are committed to building lifelong profitable relationships with our customers, trade partners and employees. We achieve this by honoring our commitments and taking responsibility.
We conduct our business through honesty of purpose and action. We keep our professional ethics intact in all our interactions with our customer.
We achieve more because we work together as a team. We will work to maximize the synergies that accrue from the broader concept of team spirit.
Our quality proves the number of clients that we retain and have become lifelong association.
JPARKS India Pvt. Ltd. is our sister concern, also based in Vashi. It covers the foreign trade compliance side of an import: IEC and AD Code registration, IGCR and MOOWR scheme applications, ICEGATE registration, SVB, and DGFT licensing. Where a consignment needs both, the registrations and the customs clearance can be handled together instead of through two unconnected agents. How the two scopes are split, and who is accountable for what, is set out on their customs clearance partner page.
