Shipping Methods from Australia to India

PACK & SEND offers a variety of shipping solutions to accommodate your needs—whether you're looking for speed, value, or specialised handling. Our experienced team will help you select the most efficient service for your timeframe and shipment type.

Air Freight (Express & Standard)

Need it there quickly? Our air freight services are ideal if you need a reliable courier service to India, delivering parcels fast across the country:

• International Express to India: Ideal for urgent deliveries, including legal documents, electronics, and high-value items. Arrives in 2–7 business days to major Indian cities.
• Standard Air Freight: Combines speed with cost-efficiency for larger parcels. Typical delivery time is 5–14 business days.

Sea Freight

Sea freight is a cost-effective option when speed isn’t critical – ideal for relocating households or shipping large commercial goods to India.

• LCL (Less than Container Load): Suitable for smaller shipments. You share container space with others.
• FCL (Full Container Load): Best for high-volume or sensitive goods requiring their own dedicated container.

Transit to major Indian ports (e.g. Mumbai, Chennai) generally takes 6–10 weeks. LCL shipments can take slightly longer due to additional handling for consolidation and deconsolidation.

Shipping Costs from Australia to India

Every shipment is unique—and so is every postage quote. At PACK & SEND, we tailor pricing to your item’s size, weight, destination, and service level to ensure you only pay for what you ship.

Key pricing factors include:

• Actual vs volumetric weight
• Parcel dimensions
• Chosen freight service (air express, air standard, or sea freight)
• Packaging or handling requirements
• Duties, GST, or customs fees payable on arrival in India

• Duties: Determined by Indian customs based on item type, value, and HS Codes.
• GST: Typically 18%, applicable on most imported goods
• Gift Exemptions: Gifts valued under certain thresholds may qualify for exemption from duties and taxes, subject to customs assessment.

While we can't control final clearance outcomes, our team will help ensure your shipment is correctly declared and documentation is in order to minimise delays.
