shipping services to india

If you are sending items which have been packed by yourself “owner packed” then they will attract more stringent inspection by Customs on arrival in India.

Providing a detailed carton by carton inventory will assist Customs in inspecting your effects, and may avoid unnecessary delays.

It is advisable to have your goods packed by OSS if you are looking at sending larger consignments, to ensure the clearance process can be conducted with a minimum of fuss.

Moving motor vehicles and motor bikes to India is possible provided Customs criteria are met.

This service is usually depot to depot, meaning the motor vehicle will be collected by you from our partners depot in India following customs clearance.

Customs may require evidence that the owner of the vehicle has lived abroad for 12 months or longer, so a copy of your passport with date stamp showing arrival in India, or copy of lease or rental agreement on in India would be sufficient.

OSS offers a full range of moving insurance options depending on your needs.

Although your shipment to India will be packed to export standards (designed to withstand the the longest journey), the small cost of insurance gives you complete peace of mind with regard to the exposure and rigours inherent in moving from one side of the world to the other.

Moving a boat to India has similar requirements to moving a car to India when it comes to registration requirements and process.

Customs and Quarantine in India will have a special interest in the boat due to its exposure to marine life, however as Australia has a fairly clean marine environment, your boat should pass customs and quarantine without any problem.

Clearance of your move into India takes approximately 5 to 7 working days for an FCL (Full Container Load e.g. not a shared container), and 7 to 10 working days for a GRP (Groupage or shared container load) once the shipping container has been unloaded from the vessel.
