International Courier Documents Checklist (Before You Ship Abroad)
Most delays on international courier from India happen at customs because of missing or incorrect paperwork — not because of the carrier. Here is the checklist we use at our Transport Nagar, Ludhiana counter.
We ship parcels abroad with FedEx, DHL, UPS and Aramex, arrange pickup from your city anywhere in India, and walk you through documents before booking. See international courier.
Every international shipment needs
- Commercial or proforma invoice — item list, quantity, material, value, HSN code
- Sender KYC — PAN + Aadhaar or passport
- Receiver details — full address, postal/ZIP code, phone
- Packing — sturdy carton, no loose string, contents secured
Commercial exports also need
- GSTIN
- IEC (Import Export Code) from DGFT
- Accurate HSN codes on each line item
Full details in our export shipping guide.
Courier vs cargo for international
- International courier — documents, parcels, samples
- International cargo — heavier export freight, commercial consignments
Country-specific tips
- India → USA — ZIP code accuracy critical
- India → Canada — popular for family parcels; declare food items carefully
- India → UK — post-Brexit customs; truthful values essential
- India → Dubai — strong route for garment and engineering exports
