Why Shop from U.S. Stores to India?
Indian shoppers use U.S. package forwarding to access better prices, exclusive products, and authentic American brands:
U.S. Products Scarce on Indian Shelves
Many American brands and products are not available in India or arrive with significant delays and markups. Shop directly from U.S. retailers.
Electronics Pricing That Beats Local Retail
U.S. stores often offer significantly lower prices on electronics, gadgets, and tech products compared to Indian retailers.
Combine Orders Before Shipping to India
Combine multiple purchases into one shipment to dramatically reduce shipping costs to India. Package consolidation is key to affordable international shipping.
Buy Authentic U.S. Brands With Confidence
Ensure you're getting authentic American products by shopping directly from official U.S. stores. Access Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
Shipping from U.S. to India
Shipping from the U.S. to India requires understanding customs regulations and duties. Here's what you need to know:

Importing into India
The authorised courier files the declaration and duty is assessed on the assessable value, which is the CIF figure — cost, insurance and freight. KYC requirements apply, so be ready to supply identity details for clearance.
Keep the retailer invoice and proof of payment
This is the single most important thing for an Indian delivery. Personal imports are assessed under customs tariff heading 9804 at a concessional rate, but the concession requires a B2C invoice and evidence of the monetary transaction. Without them a substantially higher rate is applied to the same parcel.
Do not let anything be declared as a gift
It is not a shortcut. Importing goods as gifts through courier or post is restricted apart from narrow exceptions such as life-saving medicines, and gift consignments are excluded from the concessional personal-import assessment. They are permitted only on payment of full applicable duty.
The applicable rate depends on the goods
Basic customs duty, social welfare surcharge and IGST are layered, and the IGST element varies with what the item actually is, so published example calculations differ between customs zones. Treat any single percentage you read online as an illustration rather than your rate.
Some categories fall outside heading 9804
Motor vehicles, alcoholic drinks, tobacco and its products, printed books, and goods imported under a licence or clearance permit are handled separately from the personal-use heading.
Import rules change, sometimes at short notice. Before a large purchase, confirm the current position with Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs — Customs FAQ on gifts and personal imports through courier. We last checked these sources on 19 August 2026. Your country sets the government rates. How they are collected — on delivery, or included when you pay if that option is offered — depends on the shipping method at checkout.
Shop four U.S. stores. Clear customs once.
Keep the retailer invoices — India cares about those — and send eligible orders together. One box to Mumbai, Delhi or Bengaluru instead of four courier entries.
Combining cuts the number of international carrier charges. It does not change the duties or taxes India assesses on the goods. You see the live price for the actual box, not a sample rate.

Home DepotShipping to India: common questions
Do I pay customs duty on U.S. packages arriving in India?
Indian customs assesses duty and applicable taxes on the shipment from its declared contents and value. How they are collected — usually by the authorities at import, or included when you pay if a prepaid option is offered — depends on the shipping method at checkout.
Which items cannot be shipped to India?
Goods that cannot travel by air are excluded outright, including aerosols, flammable liquids and loose lithium batteries. India also applies its own import restrictions, so check the category before purchasing. See prohibited items.
How much does it cost to ship to India?
It depends on the destination, the weight and dimensions of the shipment, and the carrier and service you pick. You see real options for your specific shipment rather than a generic estimate.
Why do accurate item descriptions matter for India?
Customs can inspect any international shipment, and vague contents descriptions are one of the most common reasons a package is held. Naming items specifically is the simplest way to keep a shipment moving.
