To ship a parcel that's under 68 kg.

If you need to ship heavy goods or cargo, FedEx has the world’s largest cargo airline, and our freight services are built to handle whatever you need to send.

Alternatively, if you are looking to send a one-off package to India and don’t want to open an account, you can ship as a guest with FedEx Now (maximum weight 15kg, drop off only).

• FedEx won’t accept shipments for items prohibited by the Indian government. Check our global shipping restrictions and prohibited items here.
• Indian customs regulate the import of items like apparel, electronics, and food. Importers need permits and certifications. Read more about these regulations and import requirements.
• You’ll need to fulfil certain customs clearance requirements to successfully ship a parcel to India from the UK. This includes a Know Your Customer (KYC) form accompanying all imports.

• All imports to India are charged duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST). Luckily, our customs tools can help you get the right documentation together and properly plan for import costs.    
  
• The best way to avoid your parcel being held up at customs when you send a parcel to India is to make sure it arrives with the right documentation. Failure to submit a KYC form with your delivery may result in penalties. Promptly respond if we request additional information for clearance. Read more about how to get your goods through customs quickly.

Express clearance:

• Commercial invoice - Provides crucial details about your shipment, determining its eligibility for entry into the country. Feel free to use our template and guidelines. You can also create one easily with our online shipping tool, FedEx Ship Manager™.
• Air waybill - This is created when you book your parcel in with us and contains key information about the delivery, and the contract of carriage between you and FedEx.
• KYC form - This provides proof of identity and proof of address of the importer to customs when you send a parcel to India. We have a convenient free tool for KYC.

Formal clearance - Applies to shipments valued over 100,000 INR or regulated goods:

• Packing list or purchase order - For shipments with different items.
• Proof of value - For goods sent to people free of charge.
• A copy of the receiver’s Import Export Code (IEC) registration
• Stamped Non-objection Form (N-Form) - For receivers outside of Mumbai.
• Additional proof of payment - This is additional proof of the shipment’s value. It’s only requested from customs occasionally. It should be supplied as a stamped bank statement from the receiver proving the transaction.
