Quick answer
Pack the items in a sturdy box, list every item and its value on an invoice, include your ID (and a prescription for any medicines), then book a courier pickup. Food needs FDA Prior Notice.
1. Check what you can send
Most personal items, clothing, documents and gifts can be sent to the USA. Food items need FDA Prior Notice, and medicines must be for personal use with a valid prescription. Batteries, liquids and valuables have extra rules.
2. Pack it properly
Use a sturdy corrugated box, cushion every item and seal all seams with strong tape. A well-packed parcel is less likely to be damaged, and packing tightly keeps volumetric weight down.
3. Prepare the documents
- Invoice listing every item, its quantity and value
- Sender ID (such as Aadhaar or passport) and recipient address with phone number
- Prescription for medicines, if any
4. Book pickup and track
Share the weight, box size and address with CPL. We will quote express and economy options, collect the parcel from your doorstep in Mumbai and give you a tracking number.
