Commercial invoice, packing list, IEC, airway bill and customs checklist for shipping abroad from Delhi NCR — avoid holds and get a faster quote.
The core document stack
Most commercial courier exports from India revolve around: commercial invoice, packing list, IEC (for commercial), and airway bill generated at pickup. Carriers often file a Courier Shipping Bill (CSB) electronically. Personal gifts may skip IEC but still need a clear invoice and contents list.
Destination countries may ask for extra certificates (food, cosmetics, electronics). Share product category early so we can flag extras.
Commercial invoice — fields that matter
Include shipper and consignee full names, phones, addresses, detailed product description (not just “gift”), quantity, unit value, currency, country of origin (India), and HSN/HS code where applicable. Vague invoices trigger inspections.
Declared value should be honest. Undervaluation can cause penalties, delays or seizure. Receiver often pays destination duties/taxes unless a duty-paid arrangement is agreed in writing.
IEC, AD code and when they apply
IEC from DGFT is typically required for commercial exports. AD code endorsement at the bank/port is part of trader setup for regular exporters. One-time personal shipments usually do not need the full exporter stack — but businesses shipping regularly should set this up once.
