A significant share of our work, across nearly five decades, has been for foreign missions and government departments in India. It is a different discipline from ordinary relocation — one built around privilege documentation, protocol and absolute discretion — and it is what Ashoka International was shaped by.
Out of respect for the missions and departments we work with, we do not publish client names, flags or case studies identifying specific embassies. The capabilities on this page describe how we work with every diplomatic client, consistently, rather than pointing to any one of them.
Diplomatic moves carry exemptions and formalities that only work if they're filed correctly, by people who do this constantly rather than occasionally.
Import and export clearance filed under diplomatic privilege, handled in-house by our certified G-Card and H-Card customs specialists — not routed through a third-party broker.
Deep familiarity with the paperwork foreign missions must file with the Ministry of External Affairs' protocol channels for household effects, personal imports and postings.
Complete household relocations for diplomats and their families arriving in or departing India, including vehicles imported under diplomatic privilege.
Chancery and consular office relocations, secure document handling in transit, and coordination with building management and security teams.
The same protocol discipline applied to Indian government department office moves, equipment transfers and inter-city logistics.
One relationship manager, briefed on the specific protocol requirements of your mission or department, from first survey to final sign-off.
The sequence below is genuinely fixed — it mirrors how the customs and protocol requirements actually have to be sequenced.
We confirm the mission or department's specific privilege status, exemption entitlements and any internal security requirements before anything is scheduled.
Our in-house customs team prepares and files the exemption and clearance paperwork, cross-checked against current regulations before submission.
Export-grade packing and crating, with an inventory record maintained throughout — nothing changes hands without it being logged.
Door-to-door freight movement with our team liaising directly with customs authorities on bonded and duty-exempt clearance.
Delivery, unpacking and placement at the destination residence or office, coordinated around the household's or mission's schedule.
A documented close-out, with the same relationship manager available for any follow-up — storage, a second shipment, or the next posting.
No. Out of respect for client confidentiality, we do not publish the names of specific missions, embassies or government departments we serve.
Duty exemptions, diplomatic-bond customs clearance, protocol documentation, and confidentiality requirements that a standard relocation company isn't set up to handle. We manage all of it in-house.
Yes — vehicle import documentation and logistics under diplomatic privilege is part of our posting-in relocation service.
Yes, we manage household relocations for diplomats and their families both arriving in and departing India.
Client and shipment details are handled on a need-to-know basis internally as standard procedure, with a single relationship manager as the sole point of contact throughout.
