Customs Charges For UK To India Courier

Understanding customs charges before you ship helps you understand possible duties and charges before delivery. Every parcel entering India passes through customs clearance managed by India’s Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) — here’s what you need to know.

Customs Inspection

All international parcels are assessed by Indian customs on arrival. Officers review the declared contents, shipment value, and accompanying paperwork. Accurate, honest declarations on your CN22 or CN23 form are essential — vague or incorrect descriptions are the single biggest cause of delays and held shipments.

Import Duty

Customs charges on goods sent to India from the UK depend on the declared value of your shipment. As a general guide:

Shipments under £135 may qualify for duty relief depending on the item type and applicable customs rules.

All duties are calculated on the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight) of the goods, not just the purchase price. At UDS, our customs experts help you declare correctly so there are no unexpected charges at the Indian end.

Gifts

Parcels sent as gifts must be clearly labelled as such on the customs declaration form. The 2.5% duty concession applies to gifts valued between £136 and £630 — one parcel per recipient per day. Alcohol, tobacco, and currency do not qualify under the gift concession, regardless of value.

Personal Items & Baggage Rules

Clothing and everyday personal effects sent by post attract limited exemptions. If multiple units of the same item are included, customs may reclassify the shipment as commercial — so avoid sending bulk quantities of identical goods in a personal parcel.

Commercial Shipments

Business consignments require a full documentation set: commercial invoice with HSN codes, packing list, Certificate of Origin, and the recipient’s Import Export Code (IEC). All goods are assessed at prevailing duty rates with no de minimis threshold. UDS provides full customs compliance support so your commercial shipments clear the border without delay.
