Plan for these

What to get right before you sell.

India is 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of U.S. time zones, so a U.S.-based contact keeps conversations moving during American business hours.

Consider

Tariffs and trade terms

U.S. tariff treatment of Indian goods has changed repeatedly since 2025. Factor current rates into landed-cost pricing and check them with your customs broker.

Consider

Responsiveness

U.S. buyers expect same-day answers. Time-zone gaps need a plan, not goodwill.

Consider

Documentation and certifications

Quality systems, test reports and product certifications are often required before a first order.

Questions

India to the U.S.: your questions.

Straight answers to what international companies usually ask us first.

Ask us something else
Do Indian companies need a U.S. entity to sell in the U.S.?

Not necessarily. Many Indian exporters sell to U.S. customers directly or through distributors without a U.S. entity, especially at the start. Whether and when to form one is a decision to make with your legal and tax advisors.

Can you help us meet U.S. buyers at trade shows?

Yes. We help you choose the right U.S. events, schedule meetings in advance, and follow up locally afterwards.
