Shipping Methods Available
Two routes. Sea freight takes six to ten weeks and is the economical choice, either as a full container for your sole use or a shared container where you pay only for the space you occupy. Air freight takes 3 to 10 days, is priced on weight, and suits a smaller or urgent shipment.
Based on your budget, urgency, and the quantity of your items, you can select the best option from our two main shipping options.
Sea Freight:
- Perfect for economical or high-volume shipments: The most cost-effective choice for transporting large loads or when time is not an issue.
- Options for full container load (FCL) and less-than-container load (LCL): LCL is ideal for smaller shipments because it permits space sharing, whereas FCL offers exclusive use of a container.
- Estimated transit times: Six to ten weeks Sea freight is slower, but it saves a lot of money on deliveries that aren’t urgent.
Air Freight:
- Best for high-value or urgent shipments: The quickest shipping option, perfect for valuables that need to travel more quickly or for deliveries that are time-sensitive.
- Duration of transit: 3–10 days: Your goods will reach India in a few days, which is much faster than sea freight.
- Custom packing and tracking are available: We offer robust tracking to keep tabs on the progress of your shipment as well as specialised packing for air freighted items.
Customs, Documentation & Regulations for Shipping to India with Removals
Our India-side partners clear your shipment through Indian customs. You will typically need a passport copy for the consignee, a detailed packing list of everything in the shipment, a value declaration where one applies, and an import permit for any goods that require one. Alcohol, tobacco and some electronics are restricted rather than banned.
Navigating Indian customs can be complex, but with Removals, you’re in expert hands. We provide comprehensive support to ensure a smooth clearance process.

Removals to India: frequently asked questions
How long does it take to ship something to India?
Depending on the shipping method selected, transit times can vary. Air freight usually takes 3–10 days, whereas sea freight usually takes 6–10 weeks.
Is insurance mandatory?
Comprehensive marine or air cargo insurance is strongly advised for all international shipments, even though it is not legally required. This shields your products from unanticipated loss or damage while in transit. For your peace of mind, Removals provides fully insured solutions.
What goods am I unable to ship?
Items that are restricted or prohibited are subject to stringent regulations. Firearms, ammunition, illegal drugs, explosives, dangerous chemicals, fake goods, and some agricultural products are generally prohibited from being shipped. We will give you a comprehensive list of items that are restricted or banned in India.
Is it possible to follow my shipment?
Yes, without a doubt. We will give you tracking details as soon as your shipment is shipped, so you can follow its progress online from pickup in the UK to arrival in India.
Who handles customs clearance in India?
Our India-side partners handle the clearance and keep you updated at each stage. You will typically need a passport copy for the consignee, a detailed packing list, a value declaration where one applies, and an import permit for any goods that require one.
Can I send a part load to India?
Yes. A part load, also called a less-than-container load, shares container space with other consignments so you pay only for the space your belongings occupy. It suits anything smaller than a full household and is the cheapest way to send by sea.
Can you ship a car or a motorbike to India?
Yes. Cars, bikes and scooters travel either inside a container, which lets belongings be packed around the vehicle, or by roll-on roll-off for anything drivable. We also advise on the DVLA export requirements at the UK end.
