How to ship parcels from Nepal from Nepal to Sri Lanka

Yes. iWishBag's Nepal mailbox ships to Sri Lanka itself, but freight and import duty are billed separately. Transit is 12-16 days after dispatch from our Nepal warehouse. No delivered order on this route yet: your quote adds item price, freight by weight, duty and tax into one LKR total before you pay.

Why ship parcels from Nepal via iWishBag to Sri Lanka?

  • Most major US and UK retailers — Amazon, Best Buy, Apple — do not ship to Sri Lanka. iWishBag bridges the gap.

  • iWishBag handles Sri Lanka customs documentation, duty, VAT, and last-mile delivery to Colombo, Kandy, Galle, and elsewhere.

  • Pay by card — quote shown in LKR for clarity.

Sri Lanka customs

Sri Lanka levies customs duty plus VAT and PAL (Ports & Airports Levy). iWishBag pre-clears these in the quote so you avoid surprise charges at the airport.
