What Items You Can & Cannot Ship Internationally

Planning to move abroad from India? One of the most important steps in your international relocation is knowing what you can and cannot ship to another country.

Different countries have specific import rules, and sending restricted items could lead to delays, penalties, or seizure at customs.

At Moving Mart Packers and Movers, we help you avoid all that by guiding you through customs-safe packing.
