النقل من الإمارات إلى India
باختصار
Shipping household goods from the UAE to India takes 10–20 days port to port for a full container to Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Chennai, or 3–6 days by air through Indira Gandhi. Clearance is handled by Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) under Transfer of Residence (TR) under the Baggage Rules. Transfer of Residence gives concessional duty, not blanket exemption, and unaccompanied baggage must arrive inside a set window around your own arrival.

What is different about moving to India?
TR gives concessional duty on a defined list, not blanket exemption — India is notably less generous than the EU on used effects. Unaccompanied baggage must arrive within a set window around your own arrival to qualify; shipping months ahead can forfeit the relief.
Who clears your shipment in India?
Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), under Transfer of Residence (TR) under the Baggage Rules. Nhava Sheva serves Mumbai and the west, Mundra Gujarat and the north, Chennai the southeast and Cochin Kerala. Inland haulage between them is a major cost.
How long does it take, and by which route?
A full container runs 10–20 days port to port to Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Chennai; shared container space takes 20–30 days because it must be consolidated before departure and unpacked on arrival. Air freight through Indira Gandhi is 3–6 days. Add roughly two weeks across packing, clearance at both ends and final delivery.
What happens when it arrives?
Mumbai and Delhi high-rises usually have service lifts requiring society permission; older buildings in Kolkata and Chennai often have narrow stairs and no lift. We survey the destination access before quoting rather than discovering it on the day, because a street a full-size vehicle cannot enter means a shuttle, and an upper floor without a lift means a longer carry. Both are priced at survey.

استيراد المركبات
Vehicle import into India is tightly restricted. Age limits, homologation requirements and duty rates that can approach or exceed the vehicle's own value rule out most cars being shipped from the UAE. For the majority of people relocating, selling before departure is the better financial outcome, and we will tell you so rather than quote a shipment that will not clear economically.
الحيوانات الأليفة
Cats and dogs travelling to India need a microchip, a current rabies vaccination and an international veterinary health certificate, and most destinations also require an import permit obtained in advance. Where a rabies antibody titre test is required, it carries a fixed waiting period after the sample is taken that cannot be compressed — which is why a pet move is planned around the animal's calendar rather than your flight date.

ما الذي يؤثر على السعر
Volume is the main driver, then whether you take shared container space or a full container — the crossover usually sits around fifteen cubic metres. Destination charges at Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Chennai are billed separately from the ocean freight and vary more than people expect. Delivery to an address a full-size vehicle cannot reach needs a smaller shuttle, and that is quoted at survey rather than added afterwards.
أسئلة عن India
Do I qualify for Transfer of Residence in India?
Generally if you have lived abroad for at least two years and are returning to settle rather than visit. The relief gives concessional duty on a defined list rather than full exemption, so budget for some duty rather than none.
Which Indian port should I ship to?
The one nearest your final address. Inland trucking across India can cost as much as the ocean freight, and the sea leg from Jebel Ali is short and cheap, so the discharge port choice is the decision that actually moves the total.
Who decides whether I pay duty in India?
Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), applying Transfer of Residence (TR) under the Baggage Rules. Goods you have genuinely owned and used abroad normally qualify; anything new, unused or bought shortly before the move is assessed on its own, and alcohol and tobacco are excluded almost everywhere. We confirm your position in writing before booking.
What will hold my shipment up at Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Chennai?
A vague inventory, more than anything else. "Kitchen items" invites an officer to open the box; "6 dinner plates, 8 glasses, 1 blender, AED 450" does not. After that it is missing residence documentation, which is why we assemble it before the vessel sails rather than after it berths.
What cannot be shipped to India?
Flammable liquids, gas cylinders, aerosols, paint and ammunition are refused on every route we run. India adds its own restrictions, including satellite phones and drones without prior clearance. Anything on your inventory that will cause a problem is flagged before it is packed.
