Cargo from Coventry
to Kochi

Door-to-door shipping from West Midlands to Kerala, India. Air and Sea freight with all duties included.

Cargo Force operates a dedicated Coventry-to-Kochi corridor covering roughly 8,307 km between Birmingham (BHX) and Cochin International (COK). Air freight on this route is a fixed-promise 21 working days at £4/kg, while sea freight LCL consolidates from our Wembley warehouse and delivers in a fixed 45 working days at £2.99/kg — about 25% cheaper per kg than air on shipments over 100 kg. The Air transit clock starts when final payment is received. Free doorstep pickup is included across the West Midlands CV1-CV47 postcode footprint, with regular collection routes through Coventry City, Foleshill, Hillfields, Stoke, Nuneaton and landmark hubs such as Foleshill Road. Door delivery in Kochi (population ~2,120,000) covers Fort Kochi, Ernakulam, Marine Drive, Kakkanad, Edappally and every suburb inside the 682001-682051 pincode range, with SMS alerts on Indian customs clearance and final-mile dispatch. Our Coventry (population ~371,521) team handles enquiries in Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, which makes this corridor a popular pick for the growing community with strong student population sending family parcels, traditional clothing and household goods to Kerala. Kochi is gateway to Kerala, major spice trading port, so book 3-4 weeks ahead of Onam and Christmas for guaranteed seasonal delivery; Kochi is served via consolidated final-mile, so the fixed 21-working-day air promise applies — Air transit starts when final payment is received. Quoted prices are all-inclusive: UK collection, export documentation, Birmingham (BHX) or Felixstowe handover, Indian customs clearance, all import duties, GST/IGST and last-mile delivery to Kochi are bundled into the per-kilogram rate. A deposit of £50 minimum, or £10 per box for more than five boxes (whichever is higher), is required before pickup is scheduled and deducted from the final invoice. Lithium-battery items - laptops, phones, tablets, power banks and drones - cannot be shipped to Kochi by either mode under international aviation safety rules, but you can send chargers, electric kettles, hair tools and other non-battery appliances without restriction.
