Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to assemble products in India to avoid tariffs?
Yes. As long as substantial transformation happens and new Certificate of Origin is issued (Indian origin), it fully complies with U.S. Customs regulations.
What counts as "substantial transformation"?
When a product undergoes a significant change — such as assembly, finishing, or packaging — that creates a new article of commerce different from the original components.
How long does the assembly process take?
Standard turnaround time is 5–10 business days from receiving goods at our Noida facility.
Do you manage shipping to the U.S.?
Yes. We can manage full door-to-door logistics or hand over shipments to your preferred freight partner.
What happens if customs questions the origin?
We maintain detailed assembly records and process certificates, ensuring full transparency and compliance.
What types of products are ideal?
Electronics, furniture, lighting, hardware, auto parts, toys, textiles — almost any product that can be assembled or customized.

We recommend starting with at least 500–1,000 units for optimal savings.
