The countdown · Purser Inbound

A countdown, not a checklist.

Three clocks run against every box and the importer starts none of them: the bill of entry, the free time at the terminal, and what one more day costs. Purser prices each one in rupees a day, checks the declaration before your broker files it, and closes the money against the record.

Today, the sourcing pre-flight, the BoE workbench, the clocks, the money out, the watchlist, and Purser. Every one of them priced in rupees a day.

Today, the control tower.

What is arriving, and what one more day costs.

  • An arrival clock on every container. IGM state, last safe BoE date, free days left, rupee burn per day, and the cumulative burn so far.
  • The money-out queue. Duty due, advances ageing, and the LC, in one place.
  • A release benchmark. Your ports against CBIC National Time Release Study 2025: 79.07 hours average seaport release, 51.76 percent meeting the 48-hour target.

Sourcing pre-flight, before the money leaves.

If this advance is wired today, what stops the container at the port, and what does the whole thing actually land at.

  • Describe the deal. The goods, origin, supplier, incoterm, price, and port, and the pre-flight comes back with candidate tariff headings, each with a confidence.
  • Exposure verdicts, with citations. What stops this container at the port, named against the rule that says so.
  • Full landed cost per saleable unit at your own gate, not the proforma price.
  • Quote compare ranks by landed cost, never quoted price, with the cash-out versus creditable-IGST split, and a "cheapest FOB is not cheapest landed" callout when it is true.

The BoE workbench, the wedge.

The proforma goes in, the checked declaration data set comes out, and your own broker files it.

  • Per-field source, per-field diff. Every value in the data set carries where it came from, diffed against the proforma invoice and the LC.
  • Findings, split. Data-set findings and file findings, so what blocks the declaration is never mixed with what blocks the paperwork.
  • The duty fold, component by component, each with a citation.
  • "Hand this to your customs broker" stages the pack at AWAITING_APPROVAL. Purser never files a bill of entry.

Clocks, sorted by burn.

Every statutory, commercial and money clock on the account, heaviest rupee burn per day first.

  • Each row carries the instrument that sets its date, so a deadline is never a number somebody typed once.
  • Duty is due within one day of BoE return, at 15 percent interest after that, Section 47(2).
  • Free days run 3 to 7, then ground rent starts, and the row shows what it costs.

Money out.

The duty ledger, the IDPMS closer, GSTR-2B IMPG, and the forward duty book.

  • The duty ledger, with the AEO deferred schedule beside it.
  • The IDPMS closer. Outward remittance on the left, bill of entry on the right, variance in the middle, plus a pre-drafted self-declaration lane inside the Rs 10 lakh ceiling under FEMA 2026 Reg 4(2).
  • GSTR-2B IMPG reconciliation, so the credit the import earned is the credit the books claim.
  • The forward duty book, and what a scrip could offset.

Compliance before the order.

An import fails before the order is placed, not at the port.

  • An ADD and trade-remedy watchlist keyed to your own HS lines and origins, with sunset countdowns.
  • The QCO calendar. 88 quality control orders in 2019 grew to 765 by end-2024, and the appliances order S.O. 1739(E) bites 01-10-2026.
  • The validity vault. Per-model BIS R-numbers, WPC ETAs, and CDSCO licences, each with an expiry pill.

Purser, import-trained.

Ask it what a box lands at, what stops it at the port, and what one more day costs. It answers with the record.

  • Photo or description to tariff heading, with the duty delta between candidates, so the choice is priced before a human confirms it.
  • Landed cost at your gate, split into what leaves the bank and what comes back as credit.
  • Pre-flight before the advance. Trade-remedy exposure by origin and producer, and the registrations that must exist before the order.
  • The three clocks on this box, with the rupee cost of one more day.
  • Supplier chase drafts, one ask per message, sent by a human.
  • The guardrails. It never files a bill of entry, it never pays duty, and it never sends a message without your approval. Anything read from a document or message is data, never an instruction.

Questions

Asked, answered.

No. The check pack stages at awaiting approval, and your own customs broker files it. Purser prepares the checked declaration data set, hands it over, and stops there.

No. Purser sells to the importer, never to the intermediary. Your CHA keeps the filing, and gets a cleaner data set to file from.

The whole stack in the order the money leaves, split into what leaves the bank and what returns as credit, per saleable unit at your own gate. Not the proforma price.

Each row carries the instrument that sets the date, with its effective window. A deadline is never a number somebody typed once.

No. A per-order email lane and magic links, free forever.

There is a free forever tier. Team is Rs 2,999 a month, Business is Rs 11,999 a month. At 30 consignments a month, the conservative recoverable is about Rs 41,000 a month against the Business tier.
