Shop Indian stores from Indonesia, delivered to your door

Indonesia’s community of Indian origin is concentrated in Medan, North Sumatra, where Tamil and Sikh families settled from the 1870s, with a newer professional population in Jakarta and Surabaya. Indian products of most kinds are hard to buy anywhere in the country.

Yes — you can shop Indian websites from Indonesia even when they will not deliver there. India Rabbit is a package forwarding company that gives you a free Indian delivery address in Kerala. Order to it from Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra or any Indian shop, and we receive each parcel, hold it free for 30 days, combine everything into one box and forward it to Indonesia — typically 4 to 6 business days from dispatch. You pay for the international shipment only. From India to Indonesia, a 1 kg parcel starts at ₹2,150 (about IDR 410,071), and the rate per kilo falls as the box fills: about ₹1,000 (about IDR 190,731) per kg for a 5 kg box and ₹870 (about IDR 165,936) per kg for 20 kg, on Economy, with GST and payment charges included. We charge in rupees; the IDR figures are approximate, at this week's exchange rate. Forwarding one box to Indonesia runs about ₹4,500–6,000 for 1 kg and ₹10,500–13,000 for 5 kg by direct courier, or ₹1,500–2,500 and ₹4,500–5,500 where we run an Economy lane. Ranges worked out 2026-10-31, not quotes, and duty at your end is separate.

These are ranges, not quotes. What you actually pay depends on the finished weight and size of your box after we repack it, which is usually less than the sum of the parcels that arrived. Worked out 2026-10-31.

Why one box beats five parcels

International shipping is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, and every parcel carries that cost separately. Five 1 kg parcels to Indonesia are priced as five shipments; repacked into one 4 kg box — packaging stripped, which is where the fifth kilo goes — they are priced as one. That is the difference between the 1 kg row above multiplied by five and the 5 kg row on its own.

Premium or Economy to Indonesia?

Premium is a direct courier with end-to-end tracking and priority customs handling. Economy is consolidated and takes a few days longer for a lower price. Typical transit to Indonesia is 4 to 6 business days from dispatch; Economy sits at the longer end of that. Both are tracked. More on choosing Premium or Economy and on how long shipping from India takes.

Shop from India to Indonesia — what people actually buy

Indonesia runs 230V on the European socket, so Indian appliances need a plug adapter. Clothing pays the highest duty and books pay none, so a box of books costs far less to land than a box of clothes of the same value.

  • Festival and wedding clothing
  • Indian-language books, which are duty-free
  • Spices and packaged food within the personal limit
  • Pooja items

Indonesia charges VAT on virtually every parcel and duty of up to 25% on clothing and footwear. The recipient’s ID or tax number is required, and food, cosmetics and supplements are capped at small personal quantities.

We deliver door to door across Indonesia, including Jakarta, Medan and Surabaya.

Customs and restrictions

Between USD 3 and USD 1,500 FOB: general goods 7.5% duty, cosmetics 15% duty plus 5% income tax, clothing/bags/footwear 25% duty plus 5% income tax, books 0%; VAT (effectively 11%) on all. Above USD 1,500 full import procedure. Over the limit, tax is charged on the whole value, not the excess. The recipient pays before delivery.

Not accepted

  • Prescription medicines without a prescription
  • Excisable goods above the per-parcel limits — the excess is destroyed, not taxed (cigarettes 40, cigars 5, cut tobacco 40 g, liquid tobacco 40 ml, alcohol 350 ml)

Shipping from India to Indonesia — questions

Is there a package forwarding company that gives me an Indian address and ships to Indonesia?

Yes. India Rabbit is a package forwarding company that gives you a free Indian address at its warehouse in Kerala, with your own suite code. You shop Indian websites to it, and it combines your parcels into one box and ships them to Indonesia, typically 4 to 6 business days after dispatch.

Can I get Indian products delivered to Indonesia when the shop only ships within India?

Yes. Order to your India Rabbit address as an ordinary customer in India. We receive the parcel at our warehouse in Kerala, hold it free for 30 days while your other orders arrive, and forward everything to Indonesia in one box.

How do I shop from India and ship to Indonesia?

Sign up free and you get an Indian delivery address in Kerala with your own suite code. Use it as the shipping address at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and most other Indian stores. When your parcels reach us we let you know, and you choose when to have them forwarded to Indonesia.

How much does it cost to send a parcel from India to Indonesia per kg?

From India to Indonesia, a 1 kg parcel starts at ₹2,150 (about IDR 410,071), and the rate per kilo falls as the box fills: about ₹1,000 (about IDR 190,731) per kg for a 5 kg box and ₹870 (about IDR 165,936) per kg for 20 kg, on Economy, with GST and payment charges included. We charge in rupees; the IDR figures are approximate, at this week's exchange rate. Forwarding one box to Indonesia runs about ₹4,500–6,000 for 1 kg and ₹10,500–13,000 for 5 kg by direct courier, or ₹1,500–2,500 and ₹4,500–5,500 where we run an Economy lane. Ranges worked out 2026-10-31, not quotes, and duty at your end is separate. What you pay depends on the finished weight and size after we repack your parcels into one; the table on this page shows indicative totals by parcel weight for Premium and Economy, with our handling, GST and payment charges included. The calculator gives the exact figure for your box.

Can I send a courier from India to Indonesia with India Rabbit?

Yes. Order from Indian shops to your India Rabbit address, or have family in India send things there by any domestic courier. We receive and photograph every parcel, combine everything into one box and ship it to Indonesia with tracking, typically 4 to 6 business days after dispatch.

What is the cheapest way to ship from India to Indonesia?

Order everything to your Indian address first and have it forwarded as one box. International shipping is charged per shipment on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so five parcels sent separately cost far more than the same goods repacked together. Where we run an Economy lane to Indonesia, it is cheaper again than direct courier in exchange for a few more days in transit.

How long does delivery to Indonesia take?

Typically 4 to 6 business days from the day your consolidated shipment leaves our warehouse, plus customs clearance at your end. Time in storage before you request shipping does not count towards that.

How much can I save by combining parcels?

International shipping is priced on weight and size, so five separate parcels cost far more than one. We repack everything into a single box and strip unnecessary packaging to cut volumetric weight. The saving scales with how bulky the original packaging was — up to 80% on bulky retail boxes, considerably less on small dense items.

Will I pay customs duty in Indonesia?

Between USD 3 and USD 1,500 FOB: general goods 7.5% duty, cosmetics 15% duty plus 5% income tax, clothing/bags/footwear 25% duty plus 5% income tax, books 0%; VAT (effectively 11%) on all. Above USD 1,500 full import procedure. Over the limit, tax is charged on the whole value, not the excess. The recipient pays before delivery. Duty is charged by the customs authority in Indonesia, not by India Rabbit.

What can I not forward to Indonesia?

Prohibited for Indonesia: Prescription medicines without a prescription; Excisable goods above the per-parcel limits — the excess is destroyed, not taxed (cigarettes 40, cigars 5, cut tobacco 40 g, liquid tobacco 40 ml, alcohol 350 ml); Counterfeit goods, narcotics and pornography; Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones; Narcotics, illegal drugs, and psychotropic substances; Firearms, ammunition, explosives, fireworks, and weapons (including replicas). Check before you order.

How long will you hold my parcels?

30 days free from the day each parcel arrives, which is enough to finish a sale-season order and send it all together. Storage can be extended for a fee if you need longer.

Do I need an Indian card or phone number?

For most stores your own card works fine. Where a store insists on an Indian payment method, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you what is possible.
