How Much Does International Shipping to India Cost?
The cost of an international move to India depends on several factors, including the volume of your household goods, where you are shipping from, your destination city in India, and whether you choose sea or air freight. A move from California to Mumbai, for example, may have different costs from shipping household goods from New York to Delhi because transportation requirements and routes can vary.
Your total international shipping cost to India is calculated based on multiple factors such as:
-
Origin location
Shipping from states such as California, Texas, New York, Florida, or Illinois can involve different transportation costs to the departure port.
-
Shipment size
The amount of furniture, boxes, and personal belongings you are moving affects whether you need a shared container, partial container shipment, or dedicated container.
-
Sea or air freight
Sea freight is generally suited to larger household shipments, while air freight can be considered for smaller shipments or belongings needed sooner.
-
Packing and preparation
Professional packing, wrapping, custom crating, and specialized handling can be included depending on what you are shipping.
-
Destination city
Delivery to Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, or another Indian city can affect the final cost based on the distance from the arrival port or airport.
-
Customs, destination services and inland transport
Your shipping costs from the USA to India may also include customs clearance and other services required when your shipment arrives. If your final home is away from the port of arrival, transportation within India will also form part of the overall moving cost.
Plan your inventory
What Counts as Household Goods?
Household goods are the personal belongings you use to furnish and run your home. When shipping from the USA to India, this can include furniture, appliances, kitchenware, clothing, books, home décor, personal effects, antiques and fine art. Commercial goods or items being imported for business purposes fall outside a typical household relocation shipment and may be subject to different customs requirements.
Household goods can include
Check Before You Pack
A few categories deserve extra attention before your belongings leave the USA.
- Electronics, alcohol, tobacco products and jewellery may be subject to specific allowances, duties or documentation requirements when entering India.
- Firearms and other weapons are also heavily regulated.
- Food, plants, seeds, animal products and other restricted goods may require additional permissions or may not be permitted at all. Check the applicable Indian customs requirements before packing anything that could fall into a restricted or regulated category.
