The safety and security of the shipments we transport is of utmost importance to us. We therefore inspect shipments handed over to us to check for any restricted or prohibited commodities, hazardous material, contraband etc. Such inspections may be conducted by several methods like physically opening and examining the contents of the package, using sniffer dogs, x-ray machines etc.

For non-account customers, every shipment is inspected. Please note that when you hand over your shipment to us, we reserve the right to inspect the shipment.

We seek your understanding that this is done for the safety of your packages. Please help us to help you by doing the following:

  1. Co-operate with the courier / service point executive at the time of shipment inspection.
  2. Do not wrap or seal the packages until the package has been inspected.

Please note the following:

  • Import duties and tax, if imposed by the destination country, will be charged to the consignee.
  • Free-of-charge or used goods are subject to duties and tax.
  • The consignee must provide any additional documents necessary for import procedures.
  • Delivery will be delayed when additional information is required for import clearance.

Thank you for your understanding.

Note: This policy is aligned with the legal and regulatory requirements of numerous Governments / other Regulatory authorities and is standard practice across the express delivery industry to ensure only legitimate shipments are accepted.

Recently, validation of shipping invoices by customs authorities in the EU and other countries have become stricter. Unclear descriptions on invoices may cause customs clearance delays or be rejected at the destination country. Therefore, please describe shipment contents in detail, accurately and appropriately on the waybill and invoice so that it can be clearly understood by customs.
