Postal service guide
Export-related postal dispatch may involve customs declarations, supporting paperwork and destination-specific restrictions. Requirements depend on the goods and the applicable export process.
Prepare the shipment file
- Accurate description, quantity and value of goods
- Recipient name and full international address
- Customs declaration and any invoice requested
- Export or regulatory documents where applicable
- Sender contact details and booking receipt
Confirm acceptance first
Ask India Post and the relevant authorities whether the item and destination are eligible and which documents are required. Do not use a generic checklist as a substitute for export compliance advice.
Keep records
Save copies of the declaration, invoice, booking receipt and tracking details for reconciliation.
