Ahvante DutyIQiOur structured customs duty audit methodology — designed to identify missed FTA benefits, incorrect HS code classifications, and unclaimed government schemes across import-export transactions.

If you import or export regularly,
it's worth checking whether you're claiming everything you're entitled to.

Duty rules are complex and the gaps aren't always visible. We've built a structured audit process to find them — and we'll tell you, before we start, whether we think it's worth doing in your situation.

Let's find out if you're affected
"A Sarthi carries no agenda of his own.
He walks alongside, for the full length of it."
The philosophy behind everything we do at A & H VenturesiSaar-thi (सारथी)In ancient Indian tradition, a Sarthi is the chariot companion — present for the full journey, carrying no agenda of his own.
Why this gap exists

This isn't something your customs broker is structured to look for.

Large advisory firms work with large clients. A growing Indian business can be too large to be unaffected by duty complexity, and too small to be a priority for the firms that can address it.

Customs brokers handle classification and compliance — and they do that well. But they aren't structured to go back through historic transactions looking for missed FTA benefits, misclassified HS codes, or unclaimed government schemes.

That is the gap DutyIQiOur audit methodology — built around CBIC guidelines and our experience with customs and trade compliance — to surface recoverable duty benefits that are being missed. was built to address.

What the audit covers

A walk-through. Not just a report.

01HS code classification review — across both historic and current transactions
02FTA benefit identification — India-UAE CEPA, India-EU FTA, and applicable bilateral agreements
03Government scheme mapping — RoDTEP, EPCG, duty drawback, and related programmes
04Recovery pathway — what can be claimed, through which process, and within what timelines

Most audits hand you a report and leave. We walk through every finding with you — what it means, what it's worth, and what the path to recovering it looks like. The audit is the beginning of the conversation, not the end of it.

What we say — and what we don't

We won't tell you that every business is leaving money behind, or put a number on what you might recover before we've looked at your situation. We don't know that, and we wouldn't say it.

What we will do is have a preliminary conversation, understand your import-export profile, and tell you directly whether we think an audit makes sense for your situation. The findings are what matter — and we let them do the talking.

This may be relevant if you

·Import raw materials or capital goods on a regular basis
·Export to countries with which India has a trade agreement
·Have changed your product mix without reviewing HS classifications
·Have never had an independent review of your duty payments
·Are based outside India and trade with the Indian market — whether you import Indian goods, export into India, or operate a supply chain through Indian customs

A short conversation is all it takes. We'll tell you directly whether a full audit makes sense for your situation.
