Where is parcel originating and received decides route of your parcel in India.First foreign parcels are received at major foreign Post-office in India .Then they are transported to nearest foreign Post-office or Sub-Foreign Post Office.

As the customs clearance facilities available at these Post offices only.
Generally ,parcels send from USA, first comes to Delhi,then ,they are sorted out and despatched to your nearest foreign Post office as per address given on the parcel.

The parcels originating from Gulf countries comes toMumbai.Similarly,at
Chennai,the foreign parcel are directly coming from Singapore,Sri Lanka,Malaysia,HongKong. Lastly, The parcels despatched from China,Thailand,Japan,Korea and Philippines comes to Kolkatta.
