Sending parcels from India to Germany

Germany has become a top destination for Indian engineers, researchers and students. We send documents, clothes, books and gifts from India to every German city, with a customs invoice that German Zoll understands.

Book online or on WhatsApp, and our pickup executive collects from your home in Chennai — or from partner locations across Tamil Nadu and South India. We weigh and check the parcel, prepare the invoice with your KYC, and hand it to the fastest international network for your chosen service. You get one AWB number to track from pickup to delivery.

Customs, duties & documents for Germany

As an EU member, Germany charges import VAT on goods from outside the EU, and customs duty may apply depending on the item and value. Gifts and purchases are both assessed — a clear description and honest value on the invoice keeps clearance quick. If paperwork is incomplete, German customs may ask the receiver to collect the parcel at the local customs office — our invoice helps avoid that.

From India, every export needs the sender's KYC (Aadhaar, PAN, passport, voter ID or driving licence) and an invoice listing each item and its value — we prepare it with you. Documents and certificates travel flat in secure envelopes. Never sent: perfumes, power banks, loose batteries, gold and cash (full list).
