India Sourcing Agent for US Importers: Full Guide

A comprehensive guide for US-based importers on what an India sourcing agent does, what the end-to-end process looks like (supplier discovery, verification, quality control, export documentation), and what to expect when partnering with a dedicated India sourcing team like Netyex. The blog addresses common pain points such as supplier unreliability, lack of on-the-ground presence, and the complexity of managing Indian manufacturers from the United States — and explains how a buyer-centric sourcing partner solves each of these challenges.

Who Pays Import Duties When Buying from India?

Unexpected duty bills are one of the most common shocks for first-time India importers, and the answer to ‘who pays’ lives entirely in your Incoterm. This blog breaks down duty responsibility across FOB, CIF, DDP, and EXW – under DDP the sourcing partner handles duties, while under FOB and CIF the buyer pays them on arrival. It helps buyers calculate true landed cost and avoid budget surprises at customs.

DDP vs EXW When Importing from India: Which Term Saves You More?

DDP and EXW sit at opposite ends of the Incoterm spectrum, and choosing wrong means either overpaying for convenience or taking on customs work you’re not ready for. This blog explains both terms in plain English – under DDP a sourcing partner like Netyex handles duties and delivers to your door, while under EXW you control everything from the factory gate. It helps importers match the right term to their experience, cash flow, and how much logistics they want to own.
