Plan around local peaks in Kochi
Weather and season: Southwest monsoon (June to September) brings heavy rain. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In India, Diwali (October/November), Holi and regional festivals that differ by state can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
Customs clearance in Kochi
Every import and export from Kochi needs a customs declaration. In India, customs clearance is handled by a dedicated partner team that works under the Ziem Logistics brand, to our procedures and with the shipment data we prepare. You deal only with Ziem Logistics, from booking to release.
