What comes back

1. INTENT — Informational, shading into transactional.

Verify before you use it

Human review required. Check every line below before this leaves your screen.
  • Verify every rate against CBIC and the current customs tariff. A wrong duty rate on a page about duty rates is fatal to credibility.
  • Confirm the 200-shipment cost range is a fair representation and that you are willing to publish it. Once published, competitors see it too.
  • Check the IGST input credit explanation with a CA before publishing. It is a tax claim and it must be right.
  • Open the currently-ranking pages yourself. The gap analysis is only as good as the reading, and you should confirm the gaps are real.
