Shipping to New Delhi and northern India
New Delhi has no seaport: cargo is unloaded at a western Indian port such as Nhava Sheva or Mundra and moved by rail to an inland container depot (ICD) in the Delhi area, such as Tughlakabad or Patparganj, where customs clearance takes place. The tariff's New Delhi rate includes this rail leg.
Practical tips. Choose New Delhi for consignees in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad and the rest of the National Capital Region, as well as Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Truck entry into Delhi is restricted during the day, so final deliveries often happen at night. Returning Indians claim the transfer-of-residence concession with their passport and inventory; diplomats and UN staff have separate privileges.
Summers in Delhi are extremely hot, and winters bring smog and fog that can slow road transport.
