India Post international mail: check prohibited and restricted items before sending

India Post guide

International postal items are subject to India Post acceptance rules, transport restrictions and the destination country’s import requirements. A product accepted domestically may still be restricted for international dispatch.

Before packing

  • Describe the contents accurately
  • Check India Post’s current prohibited and restricted item guidance
  • Check destination-country import rules
  • Ask whether special declarations or supporting documents are required

At the counter

Tell the booking staff what the parcel contains. Do not conceal restricted items or use a misleading description on a customs declaration.

Important

Rules can differ by destination and may change. Confirm current acceptance with India Post before paying for the booking.
