Sending a Parcel from Australia to Nepal
When you send a parcel from Australia to Nepal with PACK & SEND, your local team looks after the shipment whichever way you book, and how to send a parcel to Nepal comes down to three options:

Best for valuable, fragile or large shipments, and the required path for:
- Anything over 20 kg or $1,000 in value
- Unpacked items
- Goods with lithium batteries
- All business or regular senders
Your local centre provides professional packing, full customs documentation support and collection from your address, and prepares a personalised quote. Get a courier quote to get started.
Book Online (Self-Service)
A limited, no-frills option for individuals sending pre-packed, non-fragile parcels under 20 kg and up to $1,000 in value. If your shipment is eligible, you may be able to book online. You handle packing and labelling, then drop the parcel off or book a pickup.

Shipping Methods from Australia to Nepal
We offer a choice of services for moving cargo from Australia to Nepal, each suited to a different mix of urgency, care and volume:
Air Freight (Express & Standard)
Air freight is the right choice when time is critical or your items need extra care.
- Express international shipping: suits urgent deliveries, business documents and sensitive items. Major cities like Kathmandu typically receive shipments in 3 to 7 business days.
- Standard air freight: suits heavier or less time-critical goods, typically delivered within 7 to 12 business days.
These timeframes are a guide only, as factors outside PACK & SEND's control may affect delivery schedules.
Sea Freight
Sea freight suits bulk cargo to Nepal and household relocations where volume matters more than speed. Transit typically ranges from 6 to 10 weeks depending on the origin, the route taken and customs processing at the entry point, most commonly Tribhuvan International Airport or Kathmandu's inland clearance depots.
- LCL (Less than Container Load): you share container space with other shippers. It suits smaller consignments, with extra time allowed for consolidation at each end.
- FCL (Full Container Load): a dedicated container for high-volume shipments or goods that need their own space.
Ask your local PACK & SEND Service Centre for advice on the most efficient route and freight type for your shipment.
How Much Does Shipping from Australia to Nepal Cost?
Every quote is tailored to your parcel and service level. The price of an Australia to Nepal courier depends on:
- Size and weight: the dimensions and weight of the consignment.
- Service: express air, standard air or sea freight.
- Packing and handling: any custom crating or fragile-item handling it needs.
- Destination within Nepal: shipping to Kathmandu is quoted differently from delivery to regional towns.
Duties or taxes may also apply on arrival in Nepal, depending on the goods. Contact your local PACK & SEND Service Centre for a personalised quote, especially for fragile, valuable or complex shipments.
Customs Clearance and Import Taxes for Nepal
When sending a parcel to Nepal, accurate customs paperwork is what prevents most delays. Here is what to expect:
- Import duties: duty may apply depending on the type and value of the goods.
- Import taxes: taxes and other customs charges may also apply on arrival.
- Gifts: duty and taxes may still apply to gifts, depending on the type and value of what you send.
If you send gifts to Nepal from Australia, declare the contents and value accurately and let the recipient know charges may apply before delivery. Final clearance decisions rest with customs in Nepal and sit outside PACK & SEND's control.
We prepare and check your customs paperwork, including a description and value of the goods, before the shipment leaves Australia. Additional customs documentation or permits may be required depending on what you're sending, and your local PACK & SEND Service Centre can advise on what your shipment needs.
