Questions answered

Shipping to Trivandrum Airport (TRV) — FAQs

How long does shipping from the UK to Trivandrum (TRV) take? −
By air freight: 5-9 working days from UK door collection to Trivandrum Trivandrum International Airport cargo warehouse. Sea freight not available direct — use Cochin (COK). Transit times run from the date of UK collection and exclude UK and India public holidays.
Does the sender and receiver have to be the same person? +
Yes — for personal effects classification, the sender in the UK and the receiver at Trivandrum must be the same person. This is a India customs requirement. A different receiver will cause customs to reclassify the shipment, potentially attracting full commercial import duties.
Are destination charges included in my UK quote? +
No. Your UK quote covers collection from your door, export documentation and air freight to Trivandrum TRV. Destination charges — airport handling, government inspection fees, storage fees and any import duties — are levied by India authorities and payable by the receiver at the Trivandrum cargo warehouse. We advise on known destination charges for TRV at the time of booking.
What is the booking deposit? +
All bookings require a £75.00 non-refundable deposit to secure your UK collection date. This is offset against your total shipping charge at invoice — it is not an additional fee.
Can I ship electronics to Trivandrum? +
Most personal electronics are accepted on standard air freight to Trivandrum. Lithium batteries are not accepted on any service worldwide. Declare all devices with make, model and accurate declared value. Destination customs at TRV may levy duties on electronics — declare accurately and do not understate values.
