Key concepts / Terms

• KYC (Know Your Customer): A standard requirement by Indian customs to verify the recipient’s identity. This involves submitting a valid government-issued ID showing both date of birth and address.

• Valid ID Documents (must show front and back):

  • Aadhaar Card
  • Voter ID
  • PAN Card
  • Passport

Process flow

1. The order is placed. The order is prepared for shipment and flagged as India-bound.

2. KYC verification required. If the recipient hasn’t submitted their KYC documents yet, we or our India-based logistics partner will request them.

3. KYC collection options:

   1. Option 1: The Recipient can directly email their KYC to kyc@morninglobal.com or contact support at cs.mgin@morninglobal.com.
   2. Option 2: You may collect the KYC from the recipient and forward it to our team promptly.

4. Submission review and clearance. Once received, the KYC is verified and used for customs clearance.

5. The order is delivered. Upon successful clearance, the shipment is released and delivered to the recipient.
