Customs and landed cost
Indian duties, taxes or clearance requirements may apply and can materially affect the final cost.
UK TO INDIA FORWARDING
Parcel Forwarding from the UK to India
Shop from eligible UK retailers, send the order to your Jetkrate UK forwarding address, then review customs, product eligibility and onward shipping suitability before forwarding to India.
Want to buy from UK stores and send the order to India? Jetkrate helps when a retailer ships locally inside the UK but does not offer a practical delivery option to your country. The simple version is this: you shop with your Jetkrate UK forwarding address, the retailer delivers to the UK warehouse, and once the parcel is received you choose the onward international shipping option that makes sense. That does not mean every order is worth forwarding. It works best when the product is hard to find locally, the retailer's direct international option is limited, or you are buying enough value to justify the total landed cost.

India checksReview duties, product eligibility, documentation and recipient details before dispatch.
Forward to IndiaShip, consolidate or repack only where the parcel remains suitable.
ROUTE CHECKS
What to check before forwarding to India
Forwarding works best when the product is eligible, the destination details are accurate, and the total landed cost still makes sense after freight and possible destination charges.
Product eligibility
Food, supplements, cosmetics, electronics and branded goods need extra caution before purchase.
Address accuracy
Recipient phone, state, postcode and delivery details should be complete before forwarding.
Before you buy
Check costs, restrictions, customs details and parcel suitability first, so the order still makes sense after forwarding.

The retailer sends locally to Jetkrate first. After warehouse check-in, you decide how an eligible parcel moves onward.
PRODUCT FIT
Choose parcels that justify the forwarding step
UK forwarding is strongest when there is a clear reason to buy from the UK and the parcel is compact, eligible and sensible to ship internationally.
Usually stronger fits
- UK fashion, football shirts, footwear and accessories where eligible
- Books, gifts, baby items, beauty and speciality retail goods
- Hard-to-find UK sizes, releases or marketplace items
- Purchases with enough value to justify freight and potential import costs
Usually weaker fits
- Food, supplements, cosmetics or electronics without checks
- Very low-value single items where freight dominates
- Fragile, perishable or oversized goods
- Products with unclear Indian import treatment or high return risk
Product fit and parcel handling
Choose compact, eligible parcels and use consolidation or repacking only where it suits the item and destination.
SERVICE CLARITY
Package forwarding, not courier booking
This page is for package forwarding: the UK retailer ships to Jetkrate first, then you decide whether an eligible parcel should move onward to India. It is not courier booking for a parcel already in your hands.
LANDED COST
Check suitability before buying
For India-bound parcels, the product category and documentation can matter as much as price. Check restrictions before the retailer order is placed.
