Registered parcels, EMS international parcels and insured parcels may include additional charges depending on declared value, destination country and optional insurance coverage.

All India Post charges are subject to 18% GST as per current tax regulations. Speed Post remains one of the most trusted delivery services in India because of its nationwide coverage, affordable pricing and reliable tracking support.
