Who We Are

A freight partner built on accountability

Logistic International Cargo Nepal (P) Ltd. was founded in 2020 for a plain reason: importers here were tired of chasing five different people to find out where one shipment was. We handle air, ocean and road freight, with air being where we excel most, moving time-sensitive cargo on lanes we run every week.

Clearance, documentation and warehousing sit under the same roof. That matters more than it sounds. When a customs query comes back, the person who filed the paperwork is the person who fixes it, not a broker you have never spoken to, three handoffs away.

  • Weekly air consolidations on our China, Hong Kong and Gulf lanes
  • In-house customs team for classification, duty assessment and filing
  • 700+ partner offices for origin pickup and export paperwork
  • Secure storage for cargo awaiting clearance or staged distribution
  • A 24-hour line answered by someone who can actually read your file

What We Do

The full chain, one point of contact

Air freight is where we excel, but we operate every link in the logistics chain, so nothing about your shipment becomes somebody else's problem.

Air Freight

Priority air cargo for electronics, pharmaceuticals, perishables and anything where a week of delay costs more than the freight. Direct carrier and consolidator relationships mean we still find space when the market tightens.

Ocean Freight, FCL & LCL

The economical choice for planned volume. We book the container, manage transhipment through the Indian port, arrange the onward truck leg, and keep the document set ahead of the vessel so nothing waits at the border.

Enquire
Customs documentation and paperwork

Customs Clearance

HS classification, valuation, duty and VAT assessment, and filing, all handled by our own team. We review your invoice and packing list before the cargo ships, which is where most clearance delays are actually created.

Coverage & Transit

Pick the right lane, not just the cheapest rate

Nearly every freight decision comes down to three things: how fast you need it, what it weighs, and what it is worth per kilo. Here is how the three modes compare on our main lanes into Nepal.

Ranges are indicative door-to-door estimates and move with carrier space, customs inspection and season. Every quote we send carries a confirmed transit window for your specific cargo, and if that window slips, you hear it from us first.

Our Process

How we move your cargo

Five stages, one team. You always know which stage your shipment is sitting in and who is holding it.

1

Quote & Booking

Send us the commercial invoice and packing list. We come back with freight, duty, handling and delivery as separate lines, plus a transit window, usually within four hours.

2

Pickup & Freight

We arrange collection at origin and book the lane that fits your deadline and budget. If a cheaper mode still hits your date, we will say so.

3

Documentation

We check the document set against the cargo before it flies or sails. Mismatched descriptions and missing certificates cause most delays, and they are cheapest to fix at this stage.

4

Customs Clearance

Our team files the entry, handles classification and duty assessment, and deals with any query directly. You get told what is happening, including when the news is not good.

5

Final Delivery

Cleared cargo moves straight to your warehouse, store or site anywhere in Nepal, with a delivery window in advance and confirmation once it is signed for.

Air Freight Expertise

Why businesses pick us for air

Air freight is where a single missed detail costs the most, and where our team has built its deepest expertise.

Strong Carrier Relationships

We book directly with airlines and consolidators rather than through a chain of resellers. That is what secures space in Q4 and pre-festival weeks, when capacity out of Asia simply disappears.

Transparent Pricing

Your quote separates freight, duty, VAT, handling and delivery as distinct lines. You will know your landed cost before the cargo moves, not after it has already arrived.

Consolidation for Smaller Loads

A 40 kg shipment should not pay a 400 kg mindset. We group your cargo with others on the same lane and same week, so smaller importers get rates usually reserved for volume.

Status From a Human

Call the line and you get someone with your file open: where the cargo physically is, what customs has asked for, and what happens next. Not a tracking number and a shrug.

Client Voices

Trusted across Nepal

Hands down the most dependable freight partner we have found in Nepal. Our urgent shipments used to be a constant worry. Now they move on time and we always know exactly where things stand.
RP
Rajendra PandeyOperations Manager, Electronics Retail
Fast, transparent and genuinely easy to work with. We have used several logistics providers over the years. LIC Cargo is the first that behaves like a partner rather than a vendor.
AR
Ashok RaiHead of Procurement, Garments
Their team saved us from a costly delay that would have halted our production line. They knew exactly who to call and which documents to move. That expertise is rare in this market.
SM
Sushma MaharjanSupply Chain Director, Manufacturing
We switched to LIC after years of unreliable agents. The difference was immediate: clear quotes upfront, accurate timelines, and a team that actually picks up the phone.

Common Questions

Straight answers

With a complete and consistent document set, most cargo clears in a few working days. Physical inspection, permit-controlled goods or a valuation query will extend that. We tell you which category your cargo falls into at quote stage, not after it lands.

Yes, consolidation is one of our most-used services. We group your cargo with other shipments on the same lane and departure, so the freight cost is shared instead of falling entirely on you. It is how most of our smaller importers ship.

We calculate duty, VAT and applicable charges from your shipment's classification and declared value, and give you the breakdown before goods arrive. You can pay the authorities directly, or have us handle it and settle with us, whichever suits your accounting.

The baseline set is a commercial invoice, a packing list, and the bill of lading or airway bill. Certain categories need more: certificates of origin, quality or conformity certificates, or a sector permit. Tell us what you are importing and we will send you the exact list before you order.

Yes. Through our partner offices we arrange factory pickup, pre-shipment inspection and export documentation directly with your supplier or buyer. For a lot of clients this is the real value. They stop chasing a factory in a different time zone.

On chargeable weight, the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (length by width by height in cm, divided by 6000). Light but bulky cargo bills on volume, which surprises a lot of first-time importers. Send us dimensions along with weight and your quote will be accurate the first time.

Some categories are restricted, permit-controlled or prohibited outright, and rules differ by mode. Several items that travel by sea cannot go by air at all. Batteries, aerosols, chemicals and certain foodstuffs need declaration and special handling. Describe the goods honestly at enquiry stage and we will tell you what is possible before you commit money to it.

You hear it from us before you notice it yourself. We work the issue directly with the carrier or customs, give you a revised realistic date, and tell you what it changes for your onward plans. We do not sit on bad news hoping it resolves itself.
