Parcel courier from Chennai
Door-to-door parcels with an invoice, customs declaration and tracking.
A parcel is anything that is not a plain document: clothes, gifts, food, electronics, books, samples and household goods. Parcels need an invoice or contents list for customs and may attract import duty and taxes at the destination.
What you need
- A list of contents with quantity and honest value
- The sender ID and the receiver full address and phone number
- A commercial or proforma invoice for goods being sold or sampled
- Packing that protects the contents and a measured, weighed box
How parcels are priced
The carrier charges on the higher of actual and volumetric weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 5000 for DHL Express), then adds fuel and any special charges. A smaller, well-packed box can cost much less.
Who pays duty?
Usually the receiver pays import duty and taxes at the destination, unless you arrange to pay them (often called delivered duty paid). We explain the options before booking.
