Export of goods by courier in India

Click here for new update:

This is a common question arising in exports and imports – Do exports are allowed by courier. How to send goods by courier? What are the procedures to export by courier?

Yes, export through Authorized courier companies is allowed to India subjected to the provisions under Regulations of Customs. The movement of goods under courier mode is controlled with a separate body called courier imports and exports regulations. The courier clearances under the manual mode are governed by Courier Imports and Exports (Clearance) Regulations, 1998, and courier clearance under electronic mode are governed by Courier Imports and Exports (Electronic Declaration and Processing) Regulations, 2010.

Up to a certain quantity and value of goods can be moved by courier. The maximum quantity and value are decided by government time to time.

Although courier companies are allowed up to a certain value and quantity of goods to move from foreign countries and vice versa, most of the international courier companies have a license to operate as an international multi mode transporter who acts as a ‘carrier’ of goods legally.

electronica: On 22 June 2022 I appreciate your work for spreading knowledge regarding import export through your website. I have some questions regarding import by courier. I have a package coming through Fedex in courier mode as well as in cargo mode.Usually fedex agent handles clearance process but i have IEC code and Icegate id password so please let us know what will be the process of clearance of courier through Air. I have tried to register on the ECCS website but they are only allowing registration for courier companies. Do I always need to rely on courier agents ?!! Looking forward to your valuable response.

punarnawa: On 24 June 2022 I recently came through your website. I wanted to ask a few questions. We send all commercial compliant shipments with Fedex Air. For shipment below 25000 it doesn't send us a shipping bill if shipped from our head office in Odisha and often route from Delhi where we don't have port registration and for shipments that go through Bengaluru where we have port registration it sends us a shipping bill irrespective of any value. Does it mean we can claim IGST refund only when shipment moves through port ? Even when all our shipments are custom cleared may it be Delhi and Bengaluru. Difference is we have port registration in Bengaluru and not in Delhi. Is it not possible to claim IGST paid on export for International shipments that don't travel through port and we are not provided a shipping bill? Also do you know any reliable agent for port registration in Kolkata and Delhi? We are a social enterprise and we have no guidance in this regard from our small city. Your guidance will help us a lot.

anmol: On 27 June 2022 I am Anmol Suri from New Delhi, A frequent visitor of your website howtoexportimport.com. I must say that this initiative of yours, of spreading information and sharing your experiences through the website is really praiseworthy. The information on the website is really unique which cannot be found on websites with similar topic. I am writing you this mail as I had some questions regarding some import transactions and it would be really helpful if you could just clarify these for me if you can. So I am recently planning to import some products from China, and my agent is located in Shenzhen. The total transaction value would be of around USD 6,000. The agent will do the procurement for me and ship the goods to an ICD in Delhi though mumbai/mundra port. As the agent is not a manufacturer but a freight forwarding company, the payment terms would be 100% advance. I found this company on Alibaba and this company has a 10 year gold supplier batch. And as alibaba has a total fees of around 7-8% so I am planning to do a direct bank transfer instead of using the alibaba platform. Now, my question is that the company recently sent me it's bank account details and I can see that the account is in HSBC bank located in Hong Kong. So would that be complaint to the FEMA guidelines to send money to aan account in Hong Kong but import from China? Earlier, I was doing small transactions so I was using the alibaba platform so this was not really a concern for me. Also, as per your experience, is it a common practice for Chinese companies or mainly freight forwarders to have bank accounts in Hong Kong? Thank you for your help in advance!

osnat: On 30 June 2022 I would like to send a package to a very medical colleague in appreciation of his amazing hospitality he showed me during my stay in Delhi. I planned on sending a home-made painting as well as a small book (the latter worth about $10). The last thing I would want is to cause him to hassle with custom clearance and to pay taxes, especially with the pandemic spreading. Can you please advise me how I can go about this. If necessary, I prefer to pay any fees at this end in Israel. I am planning on delivering via FedEx; they have assured me that they are delivering to India.
