Send clothing, textiles and sarees abroad

Clothing and textiles are light, so they are often economical to ship. Silk and zari need careful packing, and customs expects a correct description.

Packing

• Wrap sarees in muslin or acid-free tissue and a plastic sleeve.
• Avoid strong-smelling moth repellents.
• Use a sturdy box or a tear-proof bag inside a box.

Paperwork for sellers

• Describe fabric and garment type clearly, for example silk sarees.
• State quantity and unit value.
• Brand-name goods must be genuine. Counterfeit items are prohibited.
• Textile samples for buyers need an invoice marked as samples with a fair value.

Insurance

For expensive pieces consider insurance and do not pack jewellery in the same parcel without checking the rules. Rules and service names differ by carrier and destination country and change often. We confirm the details for your shipment before booking.
