Importing from India

India is a leading producer of pharmaceutical APIs and generic medicines, textiles, precious and semi-precious stones, and IT hardware. The Indian pharma industry supplies hundreds of Dutch and European importers—and air freight is the standard mode for time-sensitive pharmaceutical raw materials.

Specific Points of Attention
