International Freight Forwarding
Sea & Air Freight Services with Global Reach
Dhanraj & Sons offers comprehensive international freight forwarding services by sea and air from India to destinations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Far East. As a trusted freight forwarder with 88+ years of trade legacy, we manage the full logistics chain — carrier negotiation, cargo booking, export documentation, customs clearance at origin, transshipment coordination and destination delivery through our global agent network.
Our sea freight services cover FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments through JNPT (Nhava Sheva) and Mumbai Sea Port. We offer weekly sailings with leading Main Line Operators (MLOs) including MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE and ZIM. Our air freight desk operates from Mumbai Air Cargo Complex (BOM) for time-critical consignments, pharma, perishables and high-value electronics.
By consolidating volumes across our customer base and leveraging 88+ years of carrier relationships, we negotiate rates that individual shippers rarely secure on their own. Every freight forwarding shipment is paired with in-house customs clearing (CB No. 11/2004), inland haulage and cargo insurance so your consignment moves seamlessly from factory floor to overseas buyer — with a single point of accountability.

Key Benefits
Frequently Asked Questions
FCL (Full Container Load) means you use an entire container exclusively for your cargo. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares container space with other shippers. FCL is cost-effective for large volumes, while LCL suits smaller shipments.
