Short answer
How does Lozy help resellers?
Resellers need to quote a firm landed price and deliver to customers who may not be importers. Lozy provides DDP shipping, acts as Importer of Record when needed, and handles clearance and compliance so the deal closes on your terms.
What slows resellers down
The usual reasons shipments sit at the port longer than they should.
Quoting landed cost
Duties, IGST and charges are hard to price accurately at bid stage.
Your customer isn’t the importer
End customers often can’t or won’t handle import formalities.
Thin margins
A surprise duty bill or storage charge can wipe out a deal’s profit.
Many different products
Frequent, varied orders mean repeated paperwork and compliance checks.

Three ways to land goods for resale
Customs for resellers comes down to one question — who is willing to be the importer — and the answer picks the route.
DDP: one delivered price
Lozy imports the goods, pays duty and delivers to your customer; your side of the deal is a single landed number. It fits one-off orders, buyers without an IEC, and anything you would rather keep off your own import records. Your customer sees one seller, one invoice and one delivery date.
IOR: your sale, our name on the entry
When the customer’s project is in India but their paperwork is not, the desk imports as IOR. Duty is settled at our end and billed into the cost you quoted — the customer still deals only with you. The entry is in our name, the GSTINs stay separate, and your customer’s purchase order remains your purchase order.
Own IEC: you import, we clear
If you bring goods in often and want the entries in your own tax chain, file in your name. The desk still does the classification, the filings and the clearance; you just hold the importer’s position on paper. It is the route that keeps your cost base and your compliance records under one roof, which pays off at audit time.
Mixed across deals
Repeat buyers on their own GSTIN, tricky one-offs through DDP — the desk keeps each route’s records separate, so changing how a deal lands never restarts the learning. A short note on each deal — route, importer, records — means anyone in your team can pick the file up.
Quoting your customer with confidence
A resale bid usually dies on the landed number, not the product. Before you commit, the desk builds a landed cost for resellers line by line — classification per item, duty and IGST treatment, freight, clearance, delivery to the customer’s city — so you can hold the margin you priced. It is the same discipline whether the order runs as DDP delivery for resellers or clears under your own IEC. That is also the best answer to a customer who asks why your number is not the lowest one they saw.
Ask for the landed figure before you bid — after you win is the expensive time to find it.
What moves a landed price
Customs for resellers is mostly a quoting problem before it is a clearance problem. Two resellers can land the same carton at very different numbers, because the figure is a stack of small decisions — and the import for resale India stack has more lines than most people expect. The desk walks each line before you bid, so the figure in your quote is one you can defend item by item.
The HS code and its duty rate
Classification sets the rate, and two similar-looking items can land under different headings. The desk pins each item’s code before the number goes into your quote. Catching a wrong code at quote stage costs an email; catching it at the port costs storage and a delayed delivery.
IGST and who can claim it
Import IGST is recoverable for a buyer with a GSTIN and a clean invoice chain. On DDP delivery for resellers, the tax sits inside the delivered price; under your own IEC, it moves through your returns. If the deal passes through several hands, we flag early which entity needs the credit and how the invoices should run.
Freight, clearance and the last mile
Air or sea, examination charges, the delivery distance to your customer’s city — each piece gets its own line, so nothing hides inside a blended rate. An extra day at the port or an extra stop on the route shows up as a line, not a mystery difference between two quotes.
Volume and ordering pattern
Consolidating several items into one entry spreads clearance costs across more goods, and repeat lines reuse classification from earlier files. How you order changes what the landing costs.
Each of these is visible in the quote — ask for the split, not just the total.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t see your question? Ask it in the quote form and we’ll answer it with your quote.
Can you give me a landed-cost quote before I bid?
Yes. Share the products, HS codes or descriptions, values and delivery location, and we’ll itemise duties, taxes and charges.
What if my customer doesn’t have an IEC?
We can act as Importer of Record, so your customer doesn’t need one.
Can goods ship straight to my customer?
Yes. With DDP, goods are delivered to the address you choose with duties already paid.
How do you handle compliance across many products?
We check each item’s HS code and certification needs before it ships, and keep records so repeat orders move faster.
Does customs for resellers differ across DDP, IOR and own-IEC deals?
The route decides whose name the records carry; the mechanics of customs for resellers barely change. On DDP and IOR files Lozy is the importer and duty flows into the landed price; your customer only signs for the delivery. Under your own IEC, the entry carries your name and GSTIN while the same desk classifies, files and clears. What matters is agreeing the route before the order is placed; switching mid-shipment is the one thing that costs real time. The desk asks the question first for exactly that reason.
What is included in the landed cost for resellers?
Duty, IGST treatment, freight, clearance and handling, any storage, and delivery to the customer’s address — each on its own line. The desk builds the figure before you bid so the small items do not get forgotten: examination charges, last-mile delivery, or a few days of staging while the customer’s site gets ready. Quotes are built from the actual product list, not a template rate — the desk will say what it needs and nothing more. Where the same product repeats, the costing is reused and the quote comes back faster.
Which route fits a one-off import for resale India order?
DDP usually fits a one-off best: a single delivered price, the import on our books, no IEC needed at your end. If the buyer wants the import in their own records, we file under their details; if you would rather carry it on your GSTIN, we file under your IEC instead. The desk talks the choice through in one call. Whichever route it takes, the customer experience is identical: a delivered price they can accept. That is the point of keeping all three options in play.
Can you price a product I have never imported before?
That is exactly when to ask. Send the product details — a link or a data sheet helps — and the desk classifies it, checks whether BIS or WPC-ETA applies, and returns a landed figure with duty and taxes separated out. You see whether the deal still works before you bid, not after you win it. Sending a link or a data sheet with the enquiry speeds everything up; we do the digging from there. If the product turns out to need an approval, you hear about it before the bid, not after.
What changes in a quote when duty or freight moves?
Duty follows the HS code and the budget; freight follows the market. The desk flags what is fixed and what can move when it quotes, and tells you early if something shifts between your bid and the shipment, so a rate change never lands silently inside your margin. When a change does land, we explain it against the original quote line by line, so you can decide how to carry it.
What records does customs for resellers keep across DDP and IOR deals?
Each deal’s entry: Bill of Entry copies, duty challans, delivery notes and invoices, kept route by route so a later credit claim or audit can be answered without digging. The desk holds the customs set on our side and hands you the copies that belong to your books. If a later shipment repeats the same product, the old classification and records get reused, so the second file starts half-finished. Keeping a simple folder per route is all it takes on your side; the rest lives with the desk.
