Cargo from Crawley
to Surat

Door-to-door shipping from West Sussex to Gujarat, India. Air and Sea freight with all duties included.

Cargo Force operates a dedicated Crawley-to-Surat corridor covering roughly 7,019 km between Gatwick (LGW) and Surat International (STV). Air freight on this route is a fixed-promise 21 working days at £4/kg, while sea freight LCL consolidates from our Wembley warehouse and delivers in a fixed 45 working days at £2.99/kg — about 25% cheaper per kg than air on shipments over 100 kg. The Air transit clock starts when final payment is received. Free doorstep pickup is included across the West Sussex RH10-RH11 postcode footprint, with regular collection routes through Crawley Town, Three Bridges, Horsham, East Grinstead, Redhill and landmark hubs such as High Street. Door delivery in Surat (population ~6,564,000) covers Ring Road, Adajan, Vesu, Athwalines, Varachha, Katargam and every suburb inside the 395001-395017 pincode range, with SMS alerts on Indian customs clearance and final-mile dispatch. Our Crawley (population ~118,400) team handles enquiries in Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, which makes this corridor a popular pick for the significant community near gatwick sending family parcels, traditional clothing and household goods to Gujarat. Surat is diamond capital of the world, major textile hub, so book 3-4 weeks ahead of Diwali and Navratri for guaranteed seasonal delivery; Surat is served via consolidated final-mile, so the fixed 21-working-day air promise applies — Air transit starts when final payment is received. Quoted prices are all-inclusive: UK collection, export documentation, Gatwick (LGW) or Felixstowe handover, Indian customs clearance, all import duties, GST/IGST and last-mile delivery to Surat are bundled into the per-kilogram rate. A deposit of £50 minimum, or £10 per box for more than five boxes (whichever is higher), is required before pickup is scheduled and deducted from the final invoice. Lithium-battery items - laptops, phones, tablets, power banks and drones - cannot be shipped to Surat by either mode under international aviation safety rules, but you can send chargers, electric kettles, hair tools and other non-battery appliances without restriction.
