What Happens After You Send a Parcel
- Pickup and packing (Kathmandu): we collect, weigh, pack and prepare customs papers.
- Dispatch by air: your parcel leaves Nepal and you receive a tracking number.
- Japanese customs and quarantine: every parcel is checked. Food is inspected more closely.
- Delivery in Japan: the parcel goes to the receiver's door, anywhere from Tokyo and Osaka to smaller prefectures.
What Can Delay a Parcel to Japan?
- Restricted items in the box. Meat, sukuti, fresh vegetables or rice can cause the whole parcel to be held. Check what food, gifts and clothes you can send first.
- Unlabelled food. Homemade achar or loose spices without a label may be inspected or rejected.
- Wrong or incomplete address. Always include the Japanese postcode and the receiver's phone number.
- Festival rush. Before Dashain and Tihar many people send parcels, so book a few days earlier.
Need it faster? If you are only sending papers, send them as documents. They arrive in 4–6 days instead of 10–14. See how to send documents to Japan.
