Shipping by using a buyer's account with DHL or UPS. Is it safe or am I risking a NAD or INR?

Sometimes international buyers ask me if I can ship items by using their own DHL/UPS/TNT/FedEx account, so that I don't need to charge them with shipping cost. Is this practice safe in case of NAD or INR? What am I risking?
