08 October 2008 I have to send some medicines for my sister who stays in London. The medicines which are to be sent are general medicines which are meant to be used for personal use (viz., Vicks/ Amrutanjan/ Kneecap/ Headache tablets/ Painkiller tablets etc.)

I have been told that for sending such medicines abroad, one needs to provide a Doctor's prescription, Medical Bill for the medicines purchased and a Declaration from the consignor that the medicines are meant for personal use.

Query 1: Whether the Doctor should be a MBBS doctor or an ESI doctor/ Govt Doctor?

Query 2: Whether such medicines sent will partake Customs Clearance and also whether Customs duty will be liable for payment?

15 January 2009 Call a courier- DHL, Fedex any body will do. He will give you a self declaration form (called SDF). Fill that. Handover the goods to them. And then forget it, your goods will reach there.
