Because marble is a sacred and delicate stone, our export packaging adheres to stringent international standards designed to eliminate any risk of transit impact:

Layer 1 (Direct Protection): Non-reactive soft cotton wraps and protective film to safeguard the facial expressions, 24K gold foil, and mirror finish.
Layer 2 (Shock Absorption): High-density expanded polyethylene (EPE) thermo-foam molded contour blocks that firmly encapsulate the idol and absorb vibrations.
Layer 3 (Moisture Barrier): Heavy-gauge polythene shrink-wrapping and moisture-absorbing silica pouches to prevent humidity exposure during transit.
Layer 4 (Reinforced Wooden Crate): Solid, ISPM-15 certified heat-treated and fumigated plywood/timber crating with heavy metal corner angle brackets and exterior strapping.

Important Notice: Customs Duties & Import Taxes

Please note that inbound shipments may be subject to local Custom Duties or Import VAT as per the statutory laws of the recipient's country. These charges are levied by the importing country's customs authority and are collected by the courier delivery partner (e.g. FedEx, DHL) prior to or upon delivery. The shipping fee quoted on our invoices covers full transportation costs from our Jaipur atelier to your door or port; any local import taxes must be paid by the consignee.
