India’s customs authority is very cautious about goods entering the country so you should expect your package to be subject to in-depth checks. You will be required to provide a customs declaration form, detailing the contents of your package and the accurate value, however, we'll help you complete this as part of the booking process.

Unless your item is exempt from customs fees (gifts up to Rs 5,000 intended for personal use), you will be required to pay duty on items you send to India. All items sent via Parcel Monkey are Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), so the recipient will be contacted by customs to pay any duty owed. Please ensure you provide up-to-date contact details for the recipient so they can be contacted.
