Introduction
Iron ore is the primary component for the production of steel. Approximately 98%
of iron ore is used in the worldwide production of steel. India produces 89
minerals, out of which 4 are fuel minerals, 11 metallic, 52 nonmetallic and 22
minor minerals. Both private and public sector companies produce iron ore in
India. Iron ore is predominantly sold via long-term contracts that specify certain
volumes that the steel producer must take. In both Asia and Europe, steel
producer’s form buying cartels.
Prices are negotiated annually in so-called mating seasons. The iron ore industry is
enjoying booming conditions. But the market remains tight, and supply systems are
stretched, leading to unprecedented increase in prices. Shyam Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.

Now presently the business running in a smooth and in very excellent position,
with turn ones 104.5 crore as on date.
The idea of beneficiating the iron ore was first proposed when several Japanese
companies came together with the national mineral development corporation
[NMDC] a Government of India undertaking, evincing an interest in such a
project. Pilot studies suggested that the surface ore with 38% iron could be
enriched to concentrate of 67% iron ore with available new technologies.
Demand for iron-ore on a high Demand for steel is on a high and is expected to
grow in the near future. Thus demand of iron ore is also on a high because iron ore
is the primary component for the production of steel, which will be beneficial for
the company. It has high-grade iron ore products and abundance of iron ore
products.
Concerns/Major Issues: One major concern is that it is leasing the mine and
operating through the third party. This makes continuous supply an issue. It is
dependent on the steel industry for growth. Steel has had a very good run in the last
three years but there are enough indications that there is a softening of steel prices
globally. Another major concern is that it does not have long-term contracts with
steel makers at fixed prices and relies on spot market. For its exports, it is
completely dependent on China. It does not export iron ore to any other country.
In the past 4 to 5 years there has been an accelerated pace of growth & plan are
being executed to cross a business value of 150 cr. Bt. 2009.
Social responsibility of shyam enterprises. Shyam enterprises Pvt. Ltd has
indentified in education & health as the area to concentrate on social cause & have
been providing support for running schools & primary health centre in rural area.

INTRODUCTION TO LOGISTICS
“Logistics comes from the French word ‘logistique’ which is derived from ‘loger’
meaning quarters. It is related to the word ‘lodge’.
Interestingly, the word logistics is unrelated to the mathematical ‘logistic’ which
derives from the Greek ‘logistikos’ and first appeared in English in the 17th century.
These definitions of logistics have been called from across the net to give visitors a
feel for what logistics is all about. Logistics is a complex field, which includes
8
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
many aspects which all, contributors to the achievement of total supply chain
management.
Logistics fact: Logistics is the art and science of managing and controlling the flow
of goods, energy and information. Logistics is the designing and managing of
system in order to control the flow of material throughout a corporation. This is a
very important part of an international company because of geographical barriers.
Logistics of an international company includes movement of raw materials,
coordinating flows in to and out of different countries, choices of transportation,
and cost of the transportations, packaging the product for shipment, storing the
product, and managing the entire process. The concept of logistics is fairly new in
the business world. The theoretical development was not used until 1967. Since
then, many business practices have evolved and logistics currently cost between 15
to 30 percent of the total cost of an international purchase.

EXPORTS –
Now day’s business firms not only operate in the local or national market but also
in the international market by export in to foreign countries. Competition and many
other market factors have forced these companies to enter in to export business.
But not all firms have been able to survive in the international market. To be a
successful exporter, one needs to know the basic golden rule.
RULES FOR SUCCESSFUL EXPORTER –
1. In order to be successful in export one must fully research the markets. No
one should ever try to tackle all market at once.
2. Always sell as close to the market as possible. The fewer intermediaries one
has the better, because every intermediary needs some percentage for his
share in his business.
3. Sell experience – if a person cannot easily export goods, may be he can sell
his experience. Alternatively, he can concentrate on supplying goods and
materials to exporters who already have established an export trade.
4. In today’s competitive world every one has to be sold. The customer always
has the choice of suppliers. Selling is a honorable profession, and you have
to be an expert sales man.
5. Late deliveries are always an exporters fault. Dock strikes, go slows etc.
occur almost every where in the globe. If one enters in to export for the first

set up easily without much expenses and legal formalities. It is subject to only a
few governmental regulations. Or if more than one person then they may opt for
partnership. Company choose any of the following modes of operations:
Merchant exporter i.e. buying the goods from the market or a manufacturer

3. Product differentiation and brand image
4. Frequency of purchase
5. Presumed relationship between quality and price

Export costing is basically Cost Accountants Job. It consists of fixed cost and
variable cost comprising various elements. It is advisable to prepare an export
costing sheet for every export product. As regards quoting the prices to the
overseas buyer, the same are quoted in the following internationally accepted
norms:
1. Ex-works: It means that your responsibility is to make goods available to the
buyer at works or factory. The full cost and risk involved in bringing the
goods from this place to the desired destination will be borne by the buyer.
This term thus represents the minimum obligation for our company. It is
mostly used for sale of plantation commodity such as tea, coffee and cocoa.
2. Free on Rail [FOR]: These terms are used when the goods are to be carried
by rail, but they are also used for road transport. Your obligations are
fulfilled when the goods are delivered to the carrier.
18
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
3. Free alongside Ship [FAS]: Once the goods have been placed alongside the
ship, your obligations are fulfilled and the buyer notified. The buyer has to
contract with a sea carrier for the carriage of the goods to the destination and
pay the freight. The buyer has to bear all costs and risks of loss or damage to
the goods here after.
4. Free on Board [FOB]: our responsibility ends the movement the contracted
goods are placed on board the ship, free of cost to the buyer at a port of
shipment named in the sales contract. ‘on board’ means that a received for
shipment i.e. Bill of Lading is not sufficient, such bill of lading is issued
must be converted in to shipped on board by using the stamp shipped on
board, and must bear the signature of the earlier or his authorized
representative together with date on which the goods were boarded.
5. Cost and Freight [C&F]: You must on your own risk and not as an agent of
the buyer, contract for the carriage of the goods to the port of destination
named in the sale contract and pay the freight. This being a shipment
contract, the point of delivery is fixed to the ships rail and the risk of loss or
of damage to the goods is transferred from the seller to the buyer at that very
point. As will be seen though you bear the cost of carriage to the named
destination, the risk is already transferred to the buyer at the port of
shipment itself.
6. Cost Insurance Freight [CIF]: The term is basically the same as C&F, but
with the addition that you have to obtain insurance at your cost against the
risks of loss or damage to the goods during the carriage.
7. Freight or Carriage Paid: While C&F is used for goods which are to be
carried by sea the term is used for land transport only, including national and
international transport by road, rail and inland water ways. You have to
contract for the carriage of the goods to the agreed destination named in the
contract of the sale and pay freight. Your obligations are fulfilled when the
19
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
goods are delivered to the first carrier and not beyond. In case the buyer
desires you to insure the goods till the destination, he would add including
insurance before that the word paid in freight or carriage paid to.
8. EXS/EX-SHIP: This is an arrival contract and means hat you make the
goods available to the buyer in the ship at the named port of destination as
per sales contract. You have to bear the full cost and risk involved in
bringing the goods there.
Your obligation is fulfilled before the customs border of the foreign country
and it is for the buyer to obtain necessary import incense at his own risk and
expense.
9. EXQ/EX-Quay: It means that you make the goods available to the buyer at a
named quay. As in the term the points of division of costs and risks coincide,
but they have now been moved one step further – from the ship in to the
quay or wharf i.e. after crossing the customs border at destination.
Therefore, in addition to arranging for carriage and paying freight and
insurance you have to bear the cost of unloading the goods from the ship.
10.Delivered at Frontier [DAF]: The term is primarily intended to be used when
the goods are to be carried by road or rail. Your obligations are fulfilled
when the goods have arrived at the frontier, but before the customs border of
the country named in the sales contract.
11.Delivery Duty Paid [DDP]: This term may be used irrespective of the type of
transport involved and denotes your maximum obligation as opposed to Ex-
Works. You have not fulfilled his obligations till such time that the goods are
made available at his risk and cost to the buyer at his premises or any other
named destination. In the later case necessary documents will have to be
made available to be made available to the buyer to enable him to take
delivery of goods.
20
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
12.Free Carrier: This term has been designated particularly to meet the
requirements of modern transport like ‘multi modal’ transport as container or
‘roll on roll off’ by trailers and ferries. The principle on which the term is
based is same as applicable to FOB except that the seller or the exporter
fulfills his obligations when he delivers the goods in to the custody of the
carrier at the named point.
13.Freight Carriage and Insurance Paid [CIP]: The term is similar to freight or
carriage paid to. However in case of CIP you have additionally to procure
transport insurance against the risk of loss or damage to the goods during the
carriage. You contract with the insurer and pay the insurance premium.
EXPORT INCENTIVES -
In order to promote exports and to obtain foreign exchange, the Government of
India had framed several schemes, which grant incentives and other benefits. Some
of these schemes from the point of view of indirect taxes and briefly discussed as
under:
1. Free Trade Zones: Several free trade zones have been established in India at
various places such as Kandla, Noida, Cochin and Santa Cruz in Mumbai.
No Excise Duties are payable on goods manufactured in these free trade
zones provided the goods are exported. Goods bought in to this zone from
other parts of the India are brought without payment of any excise duty.
2. 100% Export Oriented Units [EOU]: Can import raw materials without
payment of any customs duty provided they export their products.
3. Electronic Hardware Technology Park: This scheme is similar to the free
trade zone scheme except that it is restricted to units in the electronics and
computer hardware and software sector.
21

3. Advance Customs Clearance Permit – Under this scheme, the foreign buyer
may send raw material, components, packing materials, pattern, jigs, tools,
mouse, computer software etc, without payment of customs duty in India.
The Indian manufacturer can use the material sent for manufacturing his
products as required by the foreign buyers on job work basis and export the
final products without payment of any duty.

samples from India. He should also be aware about the cheapest modes of
sending samples.
In this regard, it is advised that the postal channel is comparatively cheaper
than sending samples by air. While sending through postal channel due
regard should be given to weight and dimension of the post parcels as postal
authorities have prescribed maximum weight and dimension for the postal
parcels handled by them. Where it is not possible to send the samples by
post parcels, the same may be sent by air. So far as the government policy
regarding export of samples is concerned, distinction has been made
between export of commercial sample land gift parcels., in terms of Para
11.4 of the Import Export Policy, goods including edible items of value not
exceeding Rs. 1.00.000 in a licensing year may be exported as a gift. Items
shall not be exported as a gift without a license except in the case of edible
items. Export of bonafide trade and technical samples having indelible
marking as ‘sample not for sale’ is allowed freely without any limit.
However, in such cases where indelible marketing is not available. The
samples may be allowed for a value not exceeding US $ 10.000 per
consignment. In addition the exporter has the option to avail the facility of
free samples up to US $ 5.000 or 1% of the preceding year’s exports,
whichever is higher. An application for export of gifts/samples in excess of
the limits specified above may be made to the Director General of Foreign
Trade.

ARRANGING FINANCE –
Financial assistance to the exporters is generally provided by commercial banks,
before shipment as well as after shipment of the said goods. The assistance
provided before shipment of goods is known as per-shipment finance and that
provided after the shipment of goods is known as post-shipment finance. Pre-
shipment finance is given for working capital for purchase of raw material,
processing, packing, transportation, warehousing etc. of the goods meant for
export. Post shipment finance is provided for bridging the gap between the
shipment of goods and realisation of export proceeds. The later is done by the
banks by purchasing or negotiating the export documents or by extending advance
against export bills accepted on collection basis. While doing so, the banks adjust
the pre shipment advance, if any, already granted to the exporter.
• PRE-SHIPMENT FINANCE-
27
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
• For encouraging exports, RBI has instructed the banks to grant preshipment
advance at a concessional rate of interest. The present rate of interest is 10%
p.a. for preshipment advance up to an initial period of 180 days.
Preshipment advance for a further period of 90 days is given at the
concessional rate of 13.5% p.a. banks are free to determine the interest rate
for advances beyond 270 days up to 360 days.
FOLLOWING SPECIAL SCHEMES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE IN RESPECT
FOR PRE-SHIPMENT FINANCE –
• EXIM banks scheme for grant of foreign currency pre shipment credit to
exporters for financing cost of imported inputs for manufacture of export
products.
• Scheme of export packing credit to sub suppliers from export order
• Packing credit for deemed exports
• Preshipment credit in foreign currency. The details may be furnished by
Financial and Banking Institutions.

realised out of the undrawn balance, may be less than the undrawn balance,
it is necessary to keep a margin on such advance.
5. Advance against Retention Money – Banks also grant advances against
retention money, which is payable within one year from the date of
shipment, at a concessional rate of interest up to 90 days. If such advances
extend beyond one year, they are treated as deferred payment advances
which are also eligible for concessional rate of interest.
6. Advances against Claims of Duty Drawback – Duty Drawback is
permitted against exports of different categories of goods under the
‘Customs and Central Excise Duty Drawback Rules of the year 1995’.
Drawback is relation to goods manufactured in India and exported means a
rebate of duties chargeable on any imported materials or exciseable
materials used in manufacture of such goods in India or rebate on excise
duty chargeable under Central Excises Act, of 1944 on certain specified
goods. The duty drawback scheme is administered by Directorate of Duty
Drawback in the Ministry of Finance authority. The claim of duty drawback
is settled by custom house at the rates determined and notified by the
Directorate. As per the present procedure, no separate claim of duty
drawback is to be filed by the exporter. A copy of the shipping bill presented
by the exporter at the time of making shipment of goods serves the purpose
of claim of duty drawback as well. This claim is provisionally accepted by
the customs at the time of shipment and the shipping bill is duly verified.
The claim is settled by customs office later. As a further incentive to
exporters, customs houses at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Chandigarh
and Hyderabad have evolved a simplified procedure under which claims of
duty drawback are settled immediately after shipment and no funds of
exporter are blocked. However, where settlement is not possible under the
32
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
EXPORT PROCEDURES –
Certain procedures have to be followed for the purpose of clearing goods to be
exported. Briefly these procedures have been discussed below:
• Procedures to be followed by the exporter -
1. The exporter must submit the shipping bill in case of export by sea or air
and bill of export in case of export by road in the prescribed form
containing the prescribed details such as the name of the exporter,
consignee, invoice number, details of packing, description of goods,
quantity, FOB value etc. along with the shipping bill, other documents

33
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
• Declaration of exporter -
The exporter must make a declaration in the prescribed form in the following
situations:
1. In case of exports of goods under claims for drawbacks of duty
2. In case of goods under DEEC schemes
3. In case of exports of goods in anticipation of issue of advance license or
DEEC
4. In case of consignment covered by AR-4A [Excise forms] pending
weighment at the docks. These forms are excise forms against which a
manufacturer exporter may clear goods from his factory for the purpose of
exports without payment of any excise duty.
5. In case of exporters who have filed shipping bill without certificate from an
inspection agency
• Excise formalities – In case goods are cleared by the manufacturer for
export, these are accompanied by the specified form. This form must be
34
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
submitted to the customs authorities. The custom officer certifies that the
goods covered by the form have been exported. This firm then has to be
submitted to the maritime collector for obtaining proof of export. The bond
executed by the manufacturer-exporter with the excise authorities for
clearance of goods without payment of excise duty is released only when
proof of export is accepted by the maritime collector.
• Exchange control formalities – The exporter must file copies of specified
form prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India for the purposes of exchange
control with his bankers. Purpose of this form is to enable RBI to ensure that
export proceeds from the export are received in India through proper
banking channels only within reasonable time limits.
• Inspection Reports – Certain goods such as items which are prohibited for
export under the Foreign Trade [development and regulation] Acts, arms,
narcotics, etc can be exported only after they have been inspected for export
and appropriate permissions from the concerned authorities have been
obtained. In such case, inspection report must also be submitted. The
inspection may be done at the exporter’s premises or at a customs area.
• Let Export Order – After all the above formalities are over and the customs
officer is satisfied that the export does not contravene the provisions of any
law and all duties and other dues have been paid, a “Let Export Order” will
be made to permit the export.
Similarly, in case of exports, a boat may carry the export cargo to a waiting
ship at sea. In such cases, a boat note is required. However, a boat note is not
required if the cargo is accompanied by a shipping list. A boat note is also
required for transshipment of cargo i.e. transfer from one ship to another for
reshipment.
advice book where entries will be made by the customs officer. This advice
book can be inspected by the customs officer after which vessel may leave
port. The coastal goods can be unloaded on a coastal port or a custom port.
The relevant documents and goods will be inspected by the customs
authorities. Unloading can be done only after obtaining permission from the
customs officer.
LABELING, PACKAGING, PACKING AND MARKING GOODS –
An important stage after manufacturing of goods or their procurement is their
preparation for shipment. This involves labeling, packaging, packing and marking
of exports consignments. Labeling requirements differ from country to country and
the same should be ascertained well in advance from the buyer. The label should
indicate quality, quantity, methods of use etc. special international care labels have
been specified for the textile items by GINITEX, and the same should be
scrupulously adhered to. Packaging fulfills a vital role in helping to get your export
products to the market in top condition, as well as in presenting your goods to the
overseas buyer in an attractive way. While packaging, quality should not be
compromised merely to cut down costs, packaging should also be in conformity
with the instructions issued by the importer. Packing refers to the external
containers used for transportation. The shape of packing cases play a very
important role in packing the cargo, and the nature of packing material to be used
will depend upon the items exported as regard specification for the size, weight
and strength care must be taken to ensure that the weight of standard case does not
exceed 50 Kg, for easy handling of the cargo. Before packing and sealing the
goods, it should be ensured that all the contents are properly placed in the case and
the list of contents of packing notes should be prepared so that the buyer, the
customs authorities and the insurance authorities can easily check the contents of
each and every case.
37
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
The consolidate statement of contents for a number of cases is called the Packing
List, which should be prepared in the prescribed standardized format.
Marking means to mark the address, number of packages etc, on the packets. It is
essential for identification purpose and should provide information on exporters
mark, port of destination, and place of destination, order number of date, gross, net
and tare weight and handling instruction. It should also be ensured that while
putting marks, the law of buyer’s country is duly compiled with.
All shipping cases should be marked a number with special symbols selected by
the exporters or the importers, so that the competitors cannot find out the details of
the customers and the country of destination or suppliers country of dispatch. Care
should also be taken to ensure that the marking conforms to those written in the
invoice, insurance certificate, bill of lading and other documents. The international
cargo handling, co-ordination, association has set out for the use of exporters a
number of recommendations for the marking of goods carried by ocean going
vessels. They are equally useful for sending goods by other modes of
transportation.
LABELING SUGGESTION –
• The marks should appear in certain order. Essential data should be placed in
oblong frames with lines 1.5 centimeters thick, and subsidiary information
should be placed in another type of frame.
• Declaration on large packages should be placed on two continuous sides,
and for consignments bound together on a pallet, also on the top. Handling
instructions should be placed on all four sides. Similar packages, such as
goods in sacks, should be marked on two opposite sides.
• Lettering should be at least 7.5 centimeters high for essential data, and at
least 3.5 centimeters for subsidiary data. If the package is too small for such
letter, other sizes may be used, but in the same ratio. The sizes of the
38
SHYAM ENTERPRISES PVT LTD
symbols also are in proportion to the size of the package and of the other
markings.
• Only fast dyes should be used for lettering. Essential data should be in black
and subsidiary data in a less conspicuous colour, red and orange lettering
should be reversed for dangerous goods only. For food packed in sacks, only
harmless dyes should be employed, and the dye should not come through the
packing in such a way as to affect the goods.
• Stick on labels should only be used on individual package or parcel and all
old labels should be removed.
• Marking should be made by stencil or by branding or by pencil or brush
without a stencil. If stencils are used, care should be taken that the letters
and figures are perfectly legible to prevent confusion.
• The surface to be marked should be smooth and clean. If packages are to be
bonded, they can be marked before this is done; the hoops should not
however, cover the markings.
• The figure should indicate the total number of packages making up the
consignment and the consecutive number of the individual package.
• The name of the ship and the bill of lading number should be drawn when
this is possible. Handling instructions must appear in the language of the
exporter and importer, and also, if possible, in the language of the countries
where goods are to be handled, route or transshipped.

capabilities during negotiations, to develop a contract around a shared
vision.
E. The logistic company should be careful about the grade and quantity of Iron
ore which it is transporting.
F. The vehicles used for transportation should be having required capacity and
capable of handling large quantity of ores.
G. There should be strict inspection of quality and quantity of ore during its
transportation to avoid pilferage or any damage, change of moisture content
etc.
H. The loading and unloading should be done in the time provided to avoid
demurrage.
I. The technology used in this regard should be of new graded and high rated.
J. The firm should take care of the health of its workers as they work in dusty
and very illegible environments.
