How to Send Earthquake Relief Goods to Nepal - Shipping Instructions

If you want to send any goods to Nepal via land or air, you may run into some difficulties if you do not follow the correct procedures. Here are some helpful instructions:

In both scenarios, you should:

• Make an invoice that details all the goods contained in the shipment and estimated cost. Include the name, address, and telephone number for both the sender and receiver.
• As the sender, write a declaration on official letter head to explain the goods are being used for relief work. Include the information of the organization within Nepal responsible for picking up and distributing the goods. Also mention where the goods will be distributed.
• As the receiver, bring a letter on official letter head stating that you are picking up the same goods, sender’s name, and where you plan to distribute.
• Make sure your receiver has an official ID handy. 

If you send by flight cargo:

• Make sure your receiver at TIA has a copy of the airway bill provided by the cargo shippers.
• Label your shipments in a way that makes it easy for people to identify the boxes on the other end. One helpful hint is to colour or mark your boxes and send photos to your receivers to help them find it easily among other cargo.
• If you have problems at TIA please dial +9779801122000 or +9779851021000.

If you send by land across India-Nepal border:

• Label your truck with a sign stating where the relief is going such as "Relief Goods for Nepal Earthquake Victims in Gorkha"
