Logistics Industry License Registration

To operate as a freight forwarding company in India, obtaining the appropriate licenses and registrations is essential to ensure compliance with national regulations and to facilitate seamless logistics operations.

Key Registrations and Licenses required

  • Multimodal Transport Operator (MTO) Registration: An MTO is authorized to issue a multimodal transport document and assumes responsibility for the entire carriage of goods.
  • Customs Broker License: Customs brokers facilitate the clearance of goods through customs barriers for importers and exporters.
  • Goods and Services Tax (GST) Registration: GST registration is mandatory for businesses with an annual turnover exceeding the threshold limit set by the government.
  • Federation of Freight Forwarders' Associations in India (FFFAI) Membership: While not a license, obtaining membership with FFFAI can enhance credibility and provide industry insights.
  • Additional Considerations

  • FSSAI Registration: If transporting food items, obtaining a license from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is mandatory.
  • State-Specific Licenses: Depending on operations, additional state-level licenses or permits may be required.
