Short answer
How does Lozy help businesses importing their own equipment?
End users import equipment for their own use rather than resale. Lozy handles the import formalities, acting as Importer of Record if needed, checking compliance, clearing customs and delivering to your site, so your teams get their equipment without learning customs rules.
What slows equipment imports down
The usual reasons shipments sit at the port longer than they should.
First-time importing
No IEC, no customs contacts and no clear view of which rules apply.
Global purchase, local rules
Equipment bought centrally still has to meet India’s requirements.
Several sites
Deliveries to offices, labs or plants in different cities.
Fixed go-live dates
Launches don’t wait for goods held at the port.

Equipment for Delhi NCR offices, labs and sites
If your team’s equipment is sitting at an airport or port, we bring it home: cleared at the NCR ICDs or IGI Airport and delivered to your office, lab or site anywhere in Delhi NCR.
First import? We handle the formalities; your team just signs for the delivery.
What the desk handles for a first-time importer
Most first time import India questions come down to two worries — who is the importer and what the final bill looks like — and customs clearance for end users answers both, from classification to the loading dock.
Your IEC, or ours on the entry
No IEC yet? Lozy can import in our name as IOR and hand the goods over on delivery. Prefer your own name on the Bill of Entry? The desk prepares the file and files it once your IEC is in hand. Whichever way you go, nothing lands on your desk until a delivery is scheduled.
Classification and approvals
The HS code decides duty, so it is pinned line by line. BIS registration or a WPC-ETA gets checked where the equipment needs one, while the goods are still with the supplier. Both checks run against the actual model list, not a general product family, so variants do not slip through.
Duty, IGST and one clear quote
Basic customs duty and IGST are computed on the assessed value and shown before you commit, with your GSTIN placed so input credit can flow where it applies. When a value or a freight figure changes, the quote is revised before filing, not after the duty is paid.
Delivery to the address on the PO
Cleared at an NCR ICD or IGI Airport and delivered to your site — office, lab or plant — with the delivery note filed to the same record as the entry. For deliveries across several offices, the desk plans the rounds so each site gets its equipment once.
Serial numbers on record
Each unit’s serial number is logged against the entry, so the asset register, the AMC list and any later warranty claim all point to the same import. Insurance and warranty claims are simpler when the entry number and the serial number sit on the same sheet.
Your first shipment: what to gather
Nothing on this list needs a customs department behind it — gather these and the desk builds the rest of the file, whether the shipment is a single instrument or a floor’s worth of gear for a team importing equipment for own use. If a field on the list is blank, say so — the desk knows which gaps matter and which can be filled at filing.
Gaps are cheapest to fix before the goods move; a first time import India asks for nothing beyond the list above.
- Supplier invoice and packing list
- Model numbers and product literature
- Values, freight and insurance details, or the supplier’s estimate of them
- Delivery address and the person at site
- Approvals or test reports the supplier already holds
- Serial numbers, where the supplier can share them
After delivery: service, repair and returns
Customs clearance for end users ends at the delivery note; the equipment’s life does not. For companies importing equipment for own use, the support phase runs longer than the import itself — a failed part travels to the supplier or its service partner, a replacement travels in, and a unit can leave India for factory repair and come back through clearance afterwards. Each leg has a customs face, and the desk stays with the file. Nothing about that is unusual for business equipment; it simply needs a desk that does not treat the file as closed the day the invoice is paid. Round trips are planned, not improvised, and the two events stay in one record.
One desk stays on the record after delivery — the same team that cleared the first entry handles the last leg. Keep the entry number with the asset; it is the thread everything later hangs on.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t see your question? Ask it in the quote form and we’ll answer it with your quote.
We’ve never imported before. Where do we start?
Send us what you’re buying, where it’s coming from and where it needs to go. We’ll tell you what’s required and quote the landed cost.
Do we need our own IEC?
Not if we act as your Importer of Record. If you’d rather import in your own name, you’ll need an IEC, and we’ll handle the clearance.
Can you deliver to more than one site?
Yes. Equipment can be delivered to several locations, or stored in a Lozy warehouse and sent out as each site is ready.
What happens when the equipment is retired?
If it needs to leave India, we can act as Exporter of Record. Used electronics that stay in India must follow e-waste rules.
What does customs clearance for end users actually cover?
The full sequence: HS classification, compliance checks such as BIS or WPC-ETA where the equipment needs them, the Bill of Entry, duty and IGST, the Out of Charge, and delivery to your premises — plus staging if a site is not ready yet. One desk runs it and one contact answers for it. If something needs a licence or an exemption certificate before the shipment moves, the desk says so at quotation stage, not at the port. The list is checked again before filing, against the paper that actually arrived.
Does customs clearance for end users work for a one-off purchase?
That is the usual shape of it — one machine, a set of lab instruments, an office fit-out. The desk scales the same process down: a lean file, and paperwork complete enough for your auditors and any warranty claim later. Most equipment import Delhi NCR files start exactly this way. The desk takes a file on whether it is one pallet or a full fit-out; the process does not change with the size. That is the whole idea of a first import being a test of the arrangement.
Does the invoice description matter as much as the HS code?
Both matter, for different reasons. Customs classifies goods on the invoice description, model numbers and literature together — a vague line like “electronic parts” invites questions, while a precise description speeds assessment. The desk reviews the supplier’s invoice and, where needed, asks for the wording to be corrected before the goods ship. A good description protects you later: it is the wording customs will read when a return, a warranty claim or an audit looks back at the entry. The desk will go back to the supplier over invoice language if it needs to.
Our equipment has wireless modules — what approvals apply?
Modules with radio functions generally need a WPC-ETA, and it is the approval that most equipment import Delhi NCR consignments need lined up first. BIS registration can also apply, depending on the product list. The desk checks both against your models at quotation stage and prepares the applications where something is missing. Radio modules are the most common surprise in office and lab equipment, which is why the question is usually settled before the purchase order. A model list is all the desk needs to start the check.
Can equipment wait in your warehouse until our fit-out is finished?
Yes — that is one of the quieter benefits of the file staying open. Cleared equipment can sit in a Lozy warehouse in Delhi NCR and leave for the site as the rooms are ready, which keeps deliveries from arriving before the racks or the benches do. Storage is billed for the days used, and each release stays on the same entry. Do tell the desk early if the fit-out date is firm: space is planned around the calendar, and equipment that arrives first waits its turn.
How are warranty replacements handled after delivery?
A replacement unit clears as its own import; the desk marks it as a warranty replacement and cross-refers the original entry, which answers the obvious customs questions in advance. If the faulty unit has to go back abroad, the return is prepared as an export under the desk’s EOR service, so both legs of the swap stay on one file. Serial numbers are the thread here — the replacement, the faulty unit and the original entry are recorded against the same asset. That is the file your warranty claim will be judged on.
