Yes. You don’t need a full container. We offer LCL sea freight and air cargo services for small shipments of personal effects like clothes, books, and small items.
4. What items are not allowed when shipping to India from Philippines?
Generally, items like flammable liquids, explosives, drugs, certain batteries, live plants, soil, and some food products are restricted or banned. Also, some electronics and high-value items need extra paperwork. We share a clear do-not-ship list before packing.
5. Do I need insurance for my shipment?
We strongly recommend transit insurance for all household goods and furniture shipping. Although we pack carefully, risks like rough seas, handling errors, or accidents can happen. Insurance protects your financial value in such rare cases.
6. Who handles customs clearance in India for my goods?
Our trusted Indian destination partners handle customs clearance on your behalf. They guide you about documents like passport, visa, packing list, and any additional forms required for Indian customs.
7. Can Deliv help with packing, or do I have to pack myself?
We provide full professional packing using export-standard materials. This not only protects your items during the journey but also supports smoother customs clearance because the inventory is more systematic.

- Door-to-door: We pick up from your home in Philippines and deliver to your new home in India, including customs and local delivery.
- Door-to-port: We pick up and ship to the Indian port only. You or your local agent then handle customs and final delivery.
Most families choose door-to-door because it is simpler and more convenient.

Ideally, book your international relocation at least 4–6 weeks in advance. This gives enough time for survey, quotations, booking space on vessels or flights, and arranging documents. For peak seasons, earlier booking is better.
