Original passport mandatory for customs clearance?
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2017 1:17 am
Hi folks
I recently moved from US to Bangalore and used Universal Relocation.My stuff just arrived at Chennai port and now the local agent is saying it is mandatory to send my *original* passport.I've asked some other friends and they said they weren't asked anything like that.
So I'd like to ask other members here - did you have to mail your original passport to the local agents for customs clearance?
PS.I am really trying to avoid sending any original documents to them so any help/guidance in this regard is appreciated.
Thanks
