Cargo Shipping To Nepal
Located in South Asia in the Himalayan Mountains, Nepal borders China and India.
Sea cargo and ocean freight entering Nepal typically arrives through Calcutta in India.
If you are moving overseas to Nepal or are interested in international sea shipping to Nepal, there is
some important information you should learn in advance about shipping to Nepal.
Please note, “packed by owner,” sometimes abbreviated PBO and miscellaneous are not acceptable
descriptions to detail your personal effects or cargo.
If you are shipping electrical equipment to Nepal, please provide specific details about your electronic
devices including year, make and brand information. In addition, if you are shipping new items to Nepal,
you should also plan to provide the invoices for these new items.
Other documents you will likely need
before cargo shipping to Nepal include:
- CTD or Customs Transit Declaration for any cargo shipments that are going to be cleared through ports in India
- A letter authorizing the Destination Agent to clear your shipment
- Your personal contact information including address and phone number in Nepal
If you are a Diplomat shipping a Diplomatic shipment to Nepal, make sure you obtain a Diplomatic Exemption
Certificate issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nepal. You should provide the CIF
(cost, insurance, freight) value of your shipment.
If you qualify, you may be able to obtain a Duty Free Exemption Certificate from the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. Again, the CIF value of the shipment will be required for anyone qualifying for this special
duty free exemption. This includes most foreign advisors and consultants for the Nepalese Government.
Are you a Foreign National on private contract returning to Nepal for some type of work? If so, you
should also plan to provide your passport and a passport for every member of your family that is
accompanying you to Nepal. You will also need a certificate from your employer stating your sources of
income, and an import licensed that you can obtain through the Department of Commerce in Nepal.
It is important to note that you should plan to send all the necessary documents before your shipment to
Nepal (a minimum of at least three to four weeks). Your paperwork should arrive in Nepal before the
arrival of your shipment at any Indian Port to avoid any fees for storing cargo over an established length
of time and possible delays.
When you are shipping to Nepal, you should arrange to be present when your cargo shipment is going through
the customs clearance process. All shipments entering Nepal are inspected by customs officials. Certain
people are allowed to ship household goods and personal items to Nepal duty and tax free.
If you qualify for duty free shipping status to Nepal, this special qualification is valid for six months
from your arrival date in Nepal. Please note, shipments entering Nepal must be consigned to the owner’s
full name and address in Nepal.
Cargo shipments to Nepal are often routed through Calcutta in India. Cargo shipments entering Calcutta are
subject to inspection by Indian Customs authorities. Plan to have a Combined Transport Document or CTD.

If you are shipping new items to Nepal, you should have an invoice for the items along with a
Certificate of Origin document.
A number of items are subject to duty fees and/or taxes when shipping to Nepal. It is helpful
for you obtain all of the details on these rules and restrictions from the Consulate of Nepal.
Items subject to duty fees when shipping to Nepal include:
- Electronics and electrical goods
- Cosmetics
- All new / never used items
- Antique furniture and other types of antique goods
If you are shipping pure silver or gold to Nepal, you need to declare it at the time of your arrival
in the country. You must also plan to export it with you when you leave Nepal.

obtain prior permission from the Government of Nepal before importing any type of weapons and/or
ammunition to the country.
