Nepal’s Customs Department clears personal effects of returning students and relocating residents through the personal effects declaration filed at Tribhuvan International Airport cargo. Students heading to Tribhuvan University or Kathmandu University import used household goods duty-free for personal use, provided the goods are not for resale. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk through SLP Express — and because Nepal is a neighbouring country, families sometimes assume the rules are relaxed; they are not. The customs officer at TIA wants the recipient’s citizenship or ID paired with a detailed packing list. SLP Express prepares that pairing before pickup. New items above NPR 50,000 attract duty at varying rates. DHL reaches Nepalese addresses in two to three working days, and clearance at Kathmandu is typically completed within a day of arrival.
Excess baggage on a Hyderabad-to-Kathmandu flight runs ₹14,000 for a 30 kg trunk; SLP Express sends the same weight via DHL to Tribhuvan University’s Kirtipur campus or Kathmandu University’s student housing for under ₹9,000, delivered to the campus address. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk ahead of the student’s flight, and the customs officer at Tribhuvan International clears it faster when the citizenship or ID and the packing list travel together. Our packing is complimentary: vacuum-sealed clothing, foam-protected electronics, double-boxed pressure cookers separated from books. Nepali customs is thorough on a lane that carries significant informal trade. DHL reaches Nepalese addresses in two to three working days. WhatsApp tracking from pickup to delivery.

What Nepal Customs Department officers actually check. What we attach to every baggage parcel before it leaves Hyderabad.
A Transfer of Residence concession may apply to eligible returning residents, students or relocating professionals. Eligibility, document requirements and duty treatment depend on destination rules and personal circumstances, so confirmation from the receiving authority or a qualified broker may be required.
TR form support is also available for used goods shipped as personal effects — we help you document items correctly so they qualify as used personal belongings rather than commercial imports.
Packing is selected to limit unused volume, separate fragile items and suit the selected carrier's handling and chargeable-weight rules.
Clothes, bedding, winter wear, and soft goods are vacuum-sealed to compress volume by up to 40%. Every cubic centimetre saved reduces your volumetric weight — directly lowering the final shipping cost. Your student can ship more for the same price.
Electronics, kitchenware, and fragile items are wrapped individually in bubble-wrap and packed inside a corrugated reinforced inner box. Every item is photographed before sealing — creating a photographic inventory record for your reference and for any insurance claim.
Export-grade 7-ply corrugated outer carton, double-taped seams, heavy-duty strapping bands, and customs-ready labelling. Built to withstand cargo-hold stacking, conveyor belts, and the full international transit journey to Nepal.
