Shipping Tips, Packing & Customs Guides

Guidance for shipping from the USA

This blog shares practical guidance for NRIs and families sending packages and documents from the USA to India and destinations worldwide. You'll find walkthroughs on international shipping — packing boxes so items arrive safely, preparing customs invoices and paperwork, comparing air freight and sea freight for personal effects and cargo, and following delivery through tracking from pickup to the receiver's door.

Articles are written for real senders: what to write on a shipping label, which items customs may hold, how transit times and charges are calculated, and what NRIs should prepare before a package leaves. Start with our packing and customs guide, review the prohibited items list, or request a quote for your parcel.
