FAQ
Common questions from United Kingdom manufacturers
Can SAPL supply aluminium die casting components to the UK?
Yes. SAPL supplies precision aluminium die castings to UK manufacturers from our Chakan MIDC facility in Pune. We prepare full documentation for UK customs import including commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and inspection reports. Sea freight to Felixstowe or Southampton typically takes 20–24 days.
How does post-Brexit import documentation work for UK customers?
India-UK trade is governed by UK Global Tariff schedules. SAPL provides all required documentation: commercial invoice with commodity (HS) codes, country of origin certificate (India), packing list, and inspection records. Our freight forwarder partners are experienced in GB import procedures and can assist UK customers with customs clearance. We can advise on applicable import duty rates for your specific component categories.
Does SAPL hold any quality certifications relevant to UK manufacturers?
SAPL is ISO 9001:2015 certified (TUV Nord). We are currently working towards IATF 16949 (expected September 2026). We provide Certificate of Conformance, dimensional inspection reports, and alloy material traceability with every shipment — meeting the documentation standards expected by UK automotive and industrial procurement teams.
What die casting processes are available for UK programmes?
We operate High Pressure Die Casting (5 machines, 180T–450T) for high-volume, tight-tolerance applications, and Gravity Die Casting for low-volume, structurally demanding components. In-house CNC/VMC machining (20+ machines) and powder coating are available as part of an integrated supply programme.
What is the lead time for a new die casting programme to the UK?
Technical review and commercial quotation within 72 hours. Die design and first article qualification: 8–12 weeks. Ongoing production to UK delivery: 6–8 weeks (including sea freight). Air freight available for first articles and urgent samples at approximately 5–7 days transit.
Can SAPL supply machined and coated components, not just raw castings?
Yes. SAPL operates as a contract manufacturer — we can deliver fully machined, powder coated, inspected, and packed components ready for your production line. This is how most of our European programmes run: a single source of supply, a single Certificate of Conformance, and one contact throughout.
