Looking for reliable shipping from the USA to Afghanistan? Many US stores won't ship to Afghanistan or charge high fees. Global Shopaholics gives you a free, tax-free US address for Afghanistan at our Delaware warehouse. We log and photograph every parcel on arrival, remove bulky store packaging on request, combine your orders into one box to cut the billed weight, and send it with tracking to your address in Afghanistan by DHL or UPS. We ship to Afghanistan with DHL and UPS only, because FedEx and USPS have suspended service there.

The Afghanistan Customs Department, part of the Ministry of Finance, clears parcels that arrive from the USA. Under Afghanistan's Customs Law, import duty is set by the customs tariff according to each item's tariff classification, and customs values the goods using your invoices. Keep the seller invoice for every item and declare contents and values accurately to avoid delays. The carrier or its local agent handles clearance and tells you the amount due. Duties and taxes are not included in our shipping rates.
Extra charges apply to perfume. Lithium batteries, aerosols and liquids need special handling. Items banned by the carrier or by customs in Afghanistan can't be shipped; see our FAQs for prohibited items or read how it works.
Shipping costs to Afghanistan depend on the billed weight of your consolidated box and the carrier you choose. Delivery from the USA to Afghanistan usually takes 3 to 15 days, depending on the carrier service you choose: DHL or UPS, both with tracking. The lowest prices come from consolidation: let several US orders arrive at your Delaware address, ship them together in one box, and pick the slowest service that still meets your deadline. DHL delivers to cities across Afghanistan, including Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Mazar-i-Sharif and Jalalabad. UPS delivers to Kabul only; for other cities, UPS asks the receiver to collect the parcel from its Kabul office or to give a Kabul delivery address.
Free storage is 30 days on Basic, 180 on Premium (US$9.99/month) and 210 on Business (US$14.99/month), and paid plans earn 2% or 3% cashback. Get an instant quote in the shipping cost calculator from the USA to Afghanistan or compare our subscription plans.
