Customs Clearance Courier Charges from Chennai — How Pricing Works

Transparent, GST-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees. Your final rate depends on weight, destination and service speed.

What decides your rate

  • Chargeable weight — the higher of actual weight vs volumetric weight (L × W × H ÷ 5000). Try the calculator
  • Destination zone and service speed — express air costs more than economy air/sea.
  • Fuel and security surcharges — already included in your quote, never added later.
  • Customs duties and import taxes at the destination are paid by the receiver, unless you choose a DDP (duty-paid) service.

Who pays customs duty? In most countries the receiver pays duties and taxes on arrival. Prefer everything prepaid? Ask our team about customs clearance support and DDP options before booking.
