Ocean Carriers & Forwarders Maritime container carriers (e.g. Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd) and multimodal freight forwarders for container allocation and bill of lading generation.

Section 5.0

Cross-Border Transfers & Global Compliance

Because our business involves international merchant export across 35+ destination nations, commercial data is transferred across international boundaries to port authorities, customs brokers, and banking intermediaries located in the buyer's destination jurisdiction.

Where data transfers involve counterparties in the European Union or United Kingdom, processing complies with standard contractual clauses ensuring equivalent confidentiality standards. Where transfers occur within the GCC or ASEAN corridors, data transmission follows bilateral mercantile treaty provisions and ICC guidelines.

Section 6.0

Statutory Record Retention Schedules

In accordance with Indian foreign trade laws, exchange control regulations, and international mercantile customs, Sanskriti Global Exim maintains strict record retention periods:

Mandatory 7-Year Statutory Trade Record Archive:

Under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA 1999) and Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, all export shipping bills, bills of lading, e-BRC certificates, inspection test reports, and contracts are securely archived for a mandatory minimum duration of seven (7) financial years from the date of final foreign exchange realization.

Section 7.0
