More about shipping to India

The Price Gap Between US and India

The primary reason for sourcing this briefcase directly from the United States is the substantial price difference. Retail prices in the US are frequently 40% lower than those found in Indian boutiques or via local resellers who factor in high overheads and heavy local margins. By using a freight forwarder to provide a tax-free US address, you can purchase the item at the original American MSRP, which often yields savings even after accounting for transit fees.

Shipping Estimates

Before completing your purchase, it is essential to understand the physical profile of the Filson Rugged Twill Original Briefcase to calculate your landed cost.

You can use a shipping calculator to get a more precise figure based on the current 2026 rates for delivery to your specific city in India.

Buying from US Stores

Major retailers like Filson.com, Nordstrom, and Backcountry often have the best stock of the Original Briefcase. However, some US stores may not accept international credit cards. In these instances, you can utilize a BuyForMe service. This assisted purchase option allows a local agent to buy the item on your behalf, ensuring you do not miss out on US-exclusive sales or limited-edition colorways.

Customs and Import Taxes

When shipping to India, you must account for local regulations. All leather and textile goods are subject to import duties and GST. The Indian customs department evaluates the value based on the invoice attached to the package. It is recommended to check the current customs tax rates for 2026 to ensure your budget is accurate. Generally, the savings from the US retail price often offset a significant portion of these mandatory government fees.

Logistics and Support

Before your item leaves the warehouse, always check the prohibited items list to confirm that no restricted materials are included in your shipment, though standard cotton and leather bags are typically cleared without issue. If you have questions about package consolidation or insurance, the FAQ section provides detailed answers on how to manage your shipment effectively. For further assistance with your 2026 orders, the help center is available to guide you through the documentation required for Indian KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance.
