Customs Clearance at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA)

📅 12/12/2025 — ✍️ Bar Movers Nepal

Airport shipments can be time-sensitive and expensive to store. At TIA, clean documentation and rapid response to queries are essential.

1. Key documents for TIA cargo

Invoice, packing list, AWB, permits (if required), and clear product descriptions. Any mismatch can slow release.

2. Typical flow: arrival to release

Goods arrival, document submission, ASYCUDA processing, possible inspection, tax payment, and release steps.

3. Common delays at TIA

Missing permits, unclear valuation, inconsistent weights, or slow coordination between stakeholders.

4. How to avoid storage charges

Prepare documents before flight arrival, confirm consignee details, and keep all proof of payment ready.

5. When to use TIA vs land routes

TIA is ideal for urgent, smaller shipments where speed matters more than freight cost. For heavy cargo, land routes may be more economical.
