SVB Handling for Seamless Imports

In today’s fast-evolving global trade environment, precision, compliance, and efficiency are more critical than ever—especially when it comes to customs and import valuation processes. One area where importers often face challenges is SVB Handling—a crucial part of the Indian customs system designed to scrutinize transactions between related parties to ensure fair valuation.

What is SVB Handling?

SVB, or Special Valuation Branch, is a unit of Indian Customs responsible for evaluating transactions between related parties—such as parent companies, subsidiaries, or joint ventures—to confirm that the declared transaction value is at arm’s length. When importers deal with foreign affiliates, there’s often a need to examine whether royalties, license fees, or other payments impact the transaction value. This is where SVB handling comes into play.

Failure to properly manage SVB requirements can result in clearance delays, queries, or even penalties. For companies engaged in high-frequency or high-value imports, navigating SVB procedures can become a time-consuming burden—unless they have the right partner.
