Australia from India.
After the USA, the three most popular international
destinations for courier shipments from our Chandannagar center are the United
Kingdom, the UAE (especially Dubai), and Australia. Each destination has its
own delivery times, rates, and customs rules. Here is a quick, practical guide
for each.
Sending to the United Kingdom (UK)
Delivery time: 3 to 5 business days via DHL or FedEx
Express.
The UK now has its own customs system since Brexit, which
means all parcels — even personal gifts — go through formal customs clearance.
For gifts, the duty-free threshold is GBP 39. Above this, the recipient may
need to pay import VAT.
Make sure to accurately declare the value and contents of
your parcel. Under-declaration is one of the most common reasons for UK customs
delays. Prohibited items for the UK include fresh food, soil, plants, and some
dairy products.
Approximate rate from Chandannagar: ₹1,200 –
₹1,600 per kg (plus GST and fuel surcharge).
Sending to the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah)
Delivery time: 2 to 4 business days. The UAE is one of the
fastest international destinations from India due to the strong air
connectivity from Kolkata.
The UAE has strict customs rules around religious items,
certain food products (pork, alcohol), and prescription medicines. Commercial
shipments require proper documentation and HS codes.
For personal parcels — gifts, clothes, dry food items — the
process is straightforward. Most personal gift parcels below AED 1,000 in value
enter the UAE without customs duty.
Approximate rate from Chandannagar: ₹900 –
₹1,300 per kg (plus GST and surcharges).
Sending to Australia
Delivery time: 4 to 6 business days.
Australia has some of the world's strictest biosecurity
laws. Fresh food, meat, plants, seeds, soil, and wooden items that have not
been treated are typically prohibited or require special permits. This applies
even to homemade food or small amounts of fresh produce.
Dried, commercially packaged snacks are generally allowed.
Clothes, books, handicrafts, and electronics are fine. Declare everything
accurately — Australian Border Force inspects international parcels thoroughly.
For parcels below AUD 1,000 in value, no customs duty
generally applies for personal imports.
Approximate rate from Chandannagar: ₹1,300 –
₹1,700 per kg (plus GST and surcharges).
