Safer way of importing through post

it is better that you ask your parcel sender that either it get Insured or registered parcel.No pilfrage of goods take place in the insured or registered parcel. If there is any complained about missing articles in the parcel,it is advisable to address complain to the Director(Foreign post) of the Postal department. Also, any dispute regarding missing or theft of postal article can be redressed through Honourable consumer courts.


Faster method of exporting through post

You can hand over your parcel to the Post office for export purpose then the parcel is presented before the Customs authority. Again parcel is re-open for customs formalties.

The other alternative is to first produced parcel to the Customs Authority and get it examined. The customs department will put a seal that it has been passed in the Customs.Then the parcel is handed over to the Postal authority.At this stage the parcel is not opened by the postal authority.Therefore, you know that parcel is not delayed by the postal authority on account of non obtaining Customs clearance.
