Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. Australian biosecurity is among the world’s strictest — we walk you through it before pickup.
KYC of the sender
One photo ID for the person whose name is on the AWB — Aadhaar, passport or driving licence. We photograph it at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Commercial invoice
For commercial goods, a printed invoice listing items, quantity and value. For gifts (Shekhawati-Marwari family care kits), a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated.
Prescription (medicines)
For tablets going to a student or family member: a copy of the prescription, with doctor’s registration number. No injectables, no controlled substances, no liquid medicines.
What Australia doesn’t let in.
Australia’s biosecurity is among the strictest in the world. These are real Australian Border Force and DAFF rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, destroyed, and may incur a disposal fee billed to the consignee.
Don’t even try
- Food of any kind — including dry packaged sweets, namkeen, spices, tea. Even sealed factory packs are routinely seized.
- Wood and bamboo items — picture frames, carved boxes, agarbatti sticks. Untreated organic material is biosecurity-flagged.
- Leather goods — restrictions vary by treatment; assume seized unless you have certificates.
- Seeds, dried plants, herbs — biosecurity rules; even decorative dried flowers.
- Dairy & meat products — paneer, ghee, khoya-mithai, dehydrated meat, pickle with ghee.
- Liquids and aerosols of any kind — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Textiles, handicrafts (no wood/leather) — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, papier-mâché. Declare a fair value.
- Books and printed material — straightforward; declare title and value.
- Tablets with prescription — small quantities, sealed strip, doctor’s prescription attached. No injectables.
- Small electronics, jewellery (non-precious) — declare make, model, value.
- Personal documents — passports, originals, signed papers.
Marwari-NRI family kits, weddings, heritage.
Shekhawati-Marwari NRI-family care kits
Australia-resident Marwari business families with Shekhawati ancestral haveli connections — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth — maintain active ties with village families. Care kits move both ways: textiles, festival outfits, signed papers, photographs. High-value, document-heavy parcels.
Marwari business documents
Australia-resident Shekhawati-Marwari business families exchange contracts, GST forms, attested letters and signed agreements with ancestral villages and Jaipur/Mumbai trading offices. Always express, tracked.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings to Indian-Australian Marwari families.
Diwali parcels (non-food)
Diyas, decorations, pooja items. Biosecurity-strict — no agarbatti, no flowers, no food. Recommend express to land before the festival.
Personal documents
Passports, originals, signed contracts, certified copies. Always express; tracked international document is faster and safer than registered post.
Returning-traveller baggage from heritage tours
Australian heritage-tourists visit the Shekhawati frescoed havelis at Mandawa, Nawalgarh, Fatehpur, Bissau and Dundlod and often buy textiles, miniature paintings and brass items beyond their suitcase capacity. Picked up from the haveli-hotel, packed (zero organic material — no straw, no untreated wood), shipped before they fly out.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.
The moment the parcel is booked into DTDC International, we send you the AWB number on WhatsApp. Type it into the public tracker at dtdc.in any time. When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour.
Asked most often.
I'm an Australia-resident Marwari with Shekhawati ancestral connections — how do I send / receive a care parcel cleanly?
Australia is the strictest of the five major Marwari-diaspora destinations on biosecurity, so the rules are tighter than for the US/UK/Canada. From a Shekhawati village (Mandawa, Nawalgarh, Fatehpur, Bissau, Dundlod) — send textiles, festival outfits, signed family documents, attested papers, brass diyas (no incense sticks — agarbatti is plant material), small books. Skip all food, all wooden frames, all leather, and any pickle / oil. We pre-screen the parcel at packing so DAFF doesn't hold it.
Why is Australia so strict about food and organic items?
Australia is an island ecosystem with biosecurity risks (insects, fungi, plant diseases) that don't exist in most of the world. Australian Border Force and DAFF screen incoming parcels heavily; even sealed Indian sweets and untreated wooden frames are routinely destroyed. Don't risk it — send textiles, books, jewellery and electronics instead.
I'm an Australian heritage-tourist returning from a Shekhawati frescoes trip — can I ship my haveli-hotel purchases home?
Yes — but with stricter packing than US/UK/Canada lanes. Pick up from your haveli-hotel in Mandawa or Nawalgarh; we pack to airline standards, screen each item for organic content (no straw wrap, no untreated wood frames, no dried plants pressed in books), document item-by-item with declared values, and ship before you fly out. Clean fabric / brass / paper consignments clear DAFF cleanly; anything ambiguous gets held.
