Have more questions about shipping to SOUTH AFRICA?
Why pay retail when you can compare DHL, FedEx, and UPS charges side-by-side and pick the carrier that gives you the best rate for your specific shipment? Through CargoCharges, courier charges from India to South africa are 70% or more below what you would pay walking into any carrier's office directly. This page shows you the exact per-kg tariff for all three carriers — documents, small parcels (up to 10 kg), and heavier shipments (11 kg+) — so you can choose the cheapest option for your weight and destination. Every shipment is processed at our Delhi office: content audit, packing, customs clearance, and handover to your chosen carrier at IGI Airport.
Documents and small envelopes are charged at a flat rate — see the rate table above for exact pricing.
Parcels up to 10 kg are charged at a flat per-kg rate. This covers most personal shipments — clothes, books, gifts, small electronics.
For shipments above 11 kg, per-kg slab pricing applies. Weight brackets: 10–15 kg, 16–20 kg, 21–25 kg, 25–30 kg. The heavier the shipment, the lower the per-kg charge — so consolidating items into one shipment saves more.
CargoCharges consolidates thousands of international shipments per month across DHL, FedEx, and UPS. This volume qualifies us for wholesale tariff slabs from all three carriers — discounts that individual shippers cannot access. We pass 70% or more of this saving directly to you.

Check when your parcel will reach SOUTH AFRICA based on your dispatch date
Dates are estimates and may vary due to customs processing, weather, or holidays. Actual delivery times depend on carrier performance.

Example: A box measuring 50×40×30 cm has volumetric weight of 12 kg. If the actual weight is 5 kg, you'll be charged for 12 kg.
