Please keep a record of your seller invoices so you can provide them to airmycart(if needed) or your customs office (if required) for export or import purposes.

Customs requires the purchase value of all imported products. As soon as we receive your items at our warehouse, we will safely store them in your Locker and you will be notified. You will need to add the purchase value at this point. The item can be processed further only after this value is entered.

Yes, please refer to our Prohibited and Items list. Important Note: This list is not comprehensive and that restrictions are constantly changing. We'll do our best to update this page as we receive notices from our carriers but ultimately you are responsible for ensuring that the items you purchase comply with all government and carrier restrictions. Sometimes, products are legal to buy in india, but are not legal to ship to your country. Check with customer support if you have any question about prohibited or limited items.

We cannot export any food items that are perishable (require refrigeration), labeled in a foreign language, or restricted for export by the Indian Food and Drug Administration. We also suggest that you contact your local customs office to inquire if food can be imported to your country, as it is often restricted.

Unbranded food like home cooked pickles, chutney, sweets, snacks, etc. food items that do not have expiry, ingredient info, manufacturing label etc., will be repacked & re-labelled to international standards in sealed covers. For the sanity purpose we wear gloves and maintain clean environment so that no harm is done to your food items during repacking.

The de minims value is a country-specific value below which no duty or tax is charged, and clearance procedures are minimal. If you are importing a shipment with a total declared value LESS than this amount, duty and tax do not apply (certain products may be subject to other types of fees or taxes). The de minims value is usually different for duties than it is for taxes.

Most countries require import duties at the time when you receive your parcel depending on the laws of the receiving country. But some countries have a duty free concession where goods below a certain value can be imported without duty and/or tax. The import duties are on the higher side for the following countries: Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.

All your shipments will have limited liability cover provided by the chosen shipper. Insurance does NOT cover import duties and taxes, domestic shipping costs or damage to the box/packaging.

Import regulations vary from country to country and it is important you know the guidelines pertaining to your destination country before you import. You can find this information in import related government websites from your destination country.

Many stores pack your items in boxes that are too large or not properly prepared for global shipping. We will make ensure all your merchandise is properly packaged for International shipping. Our repackaging service will save you money in shipping costs and also helps ensure your purchases are not damaged during transport.

Shipping multiple packages overseas direct from online stores can be very costly. With our parcel bundling (consolidation service), our expert packers combine your purchases into a single package, saving you up to 60-80% off standard International shipping rates. We will always try to consolidate your items into one box, unless you specify otherwise.

The cost of a shipment can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight. Hence, Final Chargeable weight will be either volumetric weight of the box or actual gross weight, whichever is greater. More details here.

If you’re sending multiple packages, calculate each weight separately and this is the ‘total chargeable weight’. The chargeable weight is always the greater of the actual or volumetric weight.

The shipping rates displayed in the website are inclusive of all the taxes within India such as GST, Fuel Surcharge etc. In some cases, special packing charges will need to be added for homemade food/fragile items/semi liquids etc. and will be added on case-by-case basis.

The import laws of countries vary and you may have to pay import duty/VAT/customs as per the laws of your receiving country, at the time of delivery which is collected by the carrier that delivers your shipment. In some cases, carriers may also charge a brokerage fee/storage fee to clear your package through local customs. These fees vary, and are not paid by airmycart. Please contact your local customs office for more information on duties or import fees or VAT or import taxes.

We can help with checking the eligibility of your items before shipping internationally. However, in some unfortunate situations, if the item is not allowed entry into your home country, then you have 2 options –

  1. 1. You can request to send the shipment back to AirMyCart locker address in India, in which case, international return shipment charges, import duties in India, any storage charges at airport, any admin fees etc. will be applied to you
  2. 2. Discard or abandon the package – in which case the home country customs/DHL will donate or trash your package for free of cost.

In above circumstances it is customer’s/consignee’s responsibility and Airmycart is not responsible to provide shipment/service refunds if the package comes back due to non-eligibility. We will guide you before shipping the item, but countries change regulations often and it is hard to keep track of even at courier partner level, hence we strongly recommend reading what is allowed shipping to your country. Feel free to ping us on WhatsApp for more details.

Duties and VAT are calculated as a percentage of the customs value of the goods.

The valuation of the cost is based on the complete shipping value, including:

  • The price of the imported goods
  • The cost of freight
  • Insurance
