03 — Rate band, Udaipur → Australia

Starting rates. Real pricing depends on weight.

Final price depends on actual or volumetric weight (whichever is greater) plus the international fuel surcharge in force on your booking date. GST is extra.

Starting per-kg rates

  • Express (6–10 days, door)from ₹1,500 / kg
  • Economy (10–14 days, door)from ₹1,100 / kg
  • Min billable weight0.5 kg
  • Pickup from UdaipurFree at 5 kg+

Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.

Worked example

A 2 kg parcel — say a stack of textbooks plus a stainless-steel kitchen kit, ~30 × 25 × 15 cm:

  • Volumetric2.25 kg
  • Express, 2.25 kg × ₹1,500≈ ₹3,375
  • + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹845
  • + GST 18%≈ ₹760
  • Approx total, express≈ ₹4,980

Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.

04 — Customs & documentation

What you’ll need at pickup.

Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so it doesn’t.

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, 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.

05 — Australia-specific restrictions

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.
06 — What goes Udaipur → Australia

Care packages, textiles, gifts.

Student care packages

Books, sealed dry snacks (with biosecurity caveat — declare honestly), bedsheets, kitchen tools (no wood), festival clothing. Shipped to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth — wherever Indian-origin students study.

Wedding & festival outfits

Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings to Indian-Australian families.

Block-print & textile samples

Hand-block printed cotton, cushion covers, dohars. Shipped to Australian buyers and small importers in Melbourne and Sydney.

Personal documents

Passports, originals, signed contracts, certified copies. Always express; tracked international document is faster and safer than registered post.

Returning-traveller baggage

For Australia-resident visitors who bought too much in India. Picked up from the hotel, packed (no organic material), shipped before they fly out.

Diwali parcels (non-food)

Diyas, decorations, pooja items (no agarbatti, no flowers, no food). Recommend express to land before the festival.

07 — Tracking & proof of delivery

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.

08 — Three questions about Australia shipments

Asked most often.

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.

Do I need to fill a customs declaration form?

You don’t — DTDC fills the airway bill and the commercial invoice from the details you give us. What you provide is a clear list of what’s inside, item-level values, and the recipient’s phone number for the Australian courier’s last-mile contact attempt. Under-declaring value to dodge duty is a bad idea: it’s the consignee who pays the seized-parcel disposal fee, not the sender.

My daughter in Sydney needs her prescription tablets — can you ship?

Yes, with the conditions on the restrictions section above: prescription copy with doctor’s registration, sealed strips, no liquid medicines, no controlled substances. Send only the quantity prescribed, and ideally include a one-line note from the prescribing doctor stating the patient’s diagnosis. We’ve had reliable clearance on this format; the parcels that get held are usually the ones without paperwork.
