Authentic USA products in India — sourced from US retailers

Why authenticity matters for imported products in India

If you have hesitated before buying imported skincare or supplements, you are right to be careful. Indian marketplaces are full of relabeled products, expired stock and grey-market goods with no proper invoice. We built CrowCrowCrow to fix exactly this — we are the importer, not a marketplace of third-party sellers. Here's how the whole process works.

Our 15-step authenticity verification

Every product passes these steps before it reaches you — the same process whether the order is ₹500 or ₹15,000.

1. 1

   Source vetting

   Sourced from authorized US retailers (Amazon US, Walmart, Costco, Target) and authorized brand partners — never unauthorized resellers.

2. 2

   Batch recording at source

   Each unit's batch code and manufacturing date is recorded against the retailer invoice before it leaves the US.

3. 3

   Tamper-evident shipping

   Consignments are sealed at the US forwarder. Seal numbers are logged for verification on arrival.

4. 4

   Consolidation at partner warehouse

   Our US partners consolidate orders into a single sealed shipment for India.

5. 5

   Customs documentation

   Every consignment is filed with Indian customs, listing each product and its declared value.

6. 6

   Customs clearance & duty payment

   All duties, taxes and clearance fees are paid by us at the port. You pay one all-inclusive price on our site.

7. 7

   Seal inspection on arrival

   Seals are re-checked at our warehouse. Any consignment with broken seals is quarantined.

8. 8

   Unit-level inspection

   Each unit is visually inspected for original US-market packaging, intact seals and a correct batch code.

9. 9

   Expiry date check

   We check expiry before dispatch.

10. 10

    Recall cross-check

    For supplements, health products and cosmetics, we check manufacturer recall databases against the batch code.

11. 11

    Indian price label

    A compliant price sticker is applied alongside the original US label — never covering the batch code, ingredients or expiry.

12. 12

    Inventory photo archive

    We keep packing photos and can share them if needed.

13. 13

    Order-level picking check

    Each order is picked and verified against the customer's Order ID before packing.

14. 14

    Sealed dispatch

    Packed in tamper-evident CrowCrowCrow packaging. Parcel arrives opened? Send photos of the outer box with the label within 48 hours of delivery.

15. 15

    Compliant invoice

    Your order ships with a proper Indian sales invoice from Color Papers India Private Limited — your record of an authentic Indian purchase.

Genuine imported vs grey-market

Many imported goods in India are sold as "original" but are actually grey-market — genuine units imported without customs clearance, no invoice, no recourse if something goes wrong. Here's how we're different.

Customs	Cleared for you, duties paid	Personal-baggage routes
