The Journey

The Crossing

5,800 nautical miles. Six critical stages. From the moment we pick up your goods in India to the moment they arrive at your door in Australia.

Mundra Port, Gujarat. India's largest private port, gateway to Australia
You

You Tell Us What You Need

You tell us what you're shipping or what you want sourced. We ask a few questions and come back with a clear, all-inclusive quote after negotiating with our reliable suppliers. No commitment needed.

Sourcing & Verification

Our India team collects your goods or sources them from our supplier network. Everything is inspected, quality-checked, and photographed before it moves. For fragile goods like mandirs, antiques, and glassware, we organise custom foam-lined crates to the exact shape of the item. Seven layers, photographed and insured.

Mundra Port, Gujarat

Consolidation & Loading

All goods are consolidated and loaded into your container at Mundra Port, India's largest private port. Final inspection and photos are sent to you before the container door is sealed.

The Ocean Crossing

Your shipment crosses the Indian Ocean. We track the vessel and send you updates at every milestone. Port calls, ETAs, any changes. No silence, no guessing.

Port Botany, Sydney

Customs & Compliance

We pre-classify tariff codes before the ship even arrives, so your goods clear customs quickly. We handle all documentation, compliance, and duties on your behalf. No paperwork for you.

Fragile Goods & Custom Temple Shipping

Mandirs, Antiques & Irreplaceable Items

We ship custom-built mandirs to Australia regularly. Each one is crated individually with CNC foam-lined protection built to the exact shape of the item.

Seven protective layers. Photographed before sealing. Fully insured. Arrival photos sent to you at every stage of the journey.

The same care applies to antiques, glassware, and anything else that can't be replaced. If it matters, we treat it accordingly.

The Dakshin Difference

Trust Is Not a Tagline

Logistics is full of companies that quote one price and charge another, go quiet mid-shipment, or hand you off to someone else when things get complicated. We built Dakshin to be the opposite of that.

1 Invoice

One Price. No Surprises. Ever.

We quote once, upfront, before we lift a finger. That number covers sourcing, freight, customs, duties, and delivery. No hidden fees. No surprise line items. No "we forgot to mention" charges at the end. What we quote is what you pay. Full stop. Clients tell us this alone is the reason they stayed.

<4h Response

We Actually Respond.

Average response time: under 4 hours during business hours. We're real people on WhatsApp, not a ticketing system. When you have a question about your cargo, you get an answer from a person, not an auto-reply and a three-day wait.

1 Team

One Team. Start to Finish.

You don't get handed off to a customs broker, then a freight agent, then a delivery company. You deal with one team, one contact, from your first WhatsApp message to the moment your goods arrive at your door. If something goes wrong, and in logistics things sometimes do, it's our problem to solve, not yours to chase.

Real-Time Tracking

Real-Time Tracking. Every Mile.

From the moment your goods leave India to the second they reach your door, you know exactly where they are. No radio silence. No chasing emails. A clear, live view of your shipment at every port, every checkpoint, every kilometre.

India-Australia Trade

100% Tariff-Free. India to Australia.

$24.1B

India–Australia bilateral trade
in 2024–25. Growing every year.

As of January 2026, every Indian product entering Australia does so completely duty-free under the India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA). No exceptions. No phase-ins left. Textiles, food products, electronics, pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, homewares. All zero tariff.

If your business currently imports from China or Southeast Asia, this changes the maths. Switching part or all of your supply chain to India means lower landed costs on every single shipment, with the backing of a formal bilateral trade agreement between two trusted economies.

We help Australian businesses make this switch. We connect you with verified Indian suppliers, manage quality control, and handle the entire logistics chain from factory floor to your warehouse. You get the cost advantage without the complexity.

Real Customers

People Trust Us With What Matters

Families send us their parents' belongings. Business owners trust us with their entire stock. These are their words, unsponsored and unedited.

"My parents sent us everything when we moved to Melbourne. Furniture, appliances, religious items, clothes. They arranged it all directly with my parents back in Kerala, which was helpful because my parents don't speak much English. Everything arrived fine and on time."

India vs China

Thinking About Switching from China?
