03 — Rate band, Udaipur → Philippines

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 (7–10 days, door)from ₹1,100 / kg
  • Economy (10–15 days, door)from ₹850 / 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 sarees and a Greenhills wholesale bundle of dupattas:

  • Express, 2 kg × ₹1,100≈ ₹2,200
  • + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹550
  • + GST 18%≈ ₹495
  • Approx total, express≈ ₹3,650

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 + TIN

Printed invoice with item, quantity and value. The Bureau of Customs prefers the recipient’s TIN (Tax Identification Number) or SSS (Social Security) number on the AWB. Without one, low-value parcels usually still clear — but B2B and higher-value shipments slow.

Prescription (medicines)

Sealed strips, doctor’s prescription with registration, recipient TIN. FDA Philippines screens the format. No injectables, no controlled substances.

05 — Philippines-specific restrictions

What the Philippines doesn’t let in.

Bureau of Customs (BOC) is more permissive than the strict ASEAN states, but it still has a published prohibited list. Below is what won’t make it through and what does, so you can pack honestly.

Don’t even try

  • Pornography and obscene material — banned outright.
  • Drugs of any kind — death penalty no longer applies but trafficking sentences are severe; possession is criminal.
  • Firearms, ammunition, certain weapons and edged products — refused.
  • Religious-extremist or anti-state material — refused.
  • Copyright-infringing media and counterfeit goods — fake-branded clothing, watches, software.
  • E-cigarettes (some provinces), aerosols — restricted.
  • Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.

Allowed with care

  • Textiles, sarees, block-print fabric — declare item, quantity and a fair value.
  • Books and printed material — straightforward; declare title and value.
  • Sealed dry sweets — factory-sealed, declare on invoice.
  • Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, recipient TIN.
  • Non-precious jewellery, small electronics — declare make and value.
  • Christian iconography & papier-mâché — Philippines is Catholic-majority and Christian decorative items are welcomed inbound. Declare clearly.
06 — What goes Udaipur → Philippines

Family parcels, Greenhills wholesale, fusion-wedding outfits.

Gifts to Indian-Filipino families

Manila has a small but growing Indian-Filipino diaspora — mostly Sikh and Punjabi business families in Makati, BGC and the Manila suburbs. Festival parcels around Diwali and Vaisakhi go through this lane regularly.

Greenhills & Quiapo B2B textiles

Greenhills Mall (San Juan) and the Quiapo wholesale district have a long-standing Indian merchant presence. Marwari traders source sarees, dupattas, dohars, and small handicrafts from Rajasthan. Commercial invoice + KYC + recipient TIN keeps these moving.

Fusion-wedding outfits

Filipino-Indian weddings — often Filipino-Christian + Indian-Hindu fusion ceremonies — are increasingly common in Manila. Sarees, lehengas for the Indian side, plus mixed-tradition decor. Sent ahead of dates, express.

Diwali parcels (non-food + sealed sweets)

Diyas, decorations, pooja items, factory-sealed dry sweets. Send 2 weeks ahead.

Returning-traveller baggage

Filipino tourists who shopped too much in Udaipur (or India more broadly) — picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly home.

Student care kits

Small Indian-student presence at UP Diliman, Ateneo and De La Salle. Books, sealed snacks, festival clothing.

Christian-iconography decor

Philippines is Catholic-majority — Christian iconography Indian-craft pieces (carved boxes, embroidered altar cloths, papier-mâché Nativity sets) are a real B2B market into Manila and Cebu.

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 Philippines shipments

Asked most often.

How fast does express actually land in Manila?

7–10 working days door-to-door is what we quote, and it’s the longest of the major Southeast Asia lanes for Indian outbound. The reason is connection geography: most flights route Mumbai/Delhi → Singapore or Hong Kong → Manila, with one or two intermediary stops, plus Manila customs clearance is slower than Singapore or Bangkok. Cebu and Davao add 1–2 days for last-mile. We don’t pad the estimate; if anyone’s quoting 4–5 days into the Philippines, ask what their network looks like.

I’m a Greenhills/Quiapo wholesaler — what’s the routine?

Standard B2B lane. We need a printed commercial invoice (item, HSN, quantity, unit value), your buyer’s shop name, Manila phone number, and TIN, plus your KYC. The first shipment we walk through; after that, the paperwork is repeatable. Express runs 7–10 days into Manila. Bureau of Customs clears clean documents quickly; the parcels that get held are usually missing the recipient’s TIN or have under-declared value.

Filipino-Indian wedding shipments — what works?

Filipino-Christian + Indian-Hindu fusion weddings are common in the Manila Indian-diaspora, especially the second-generation Punjabi and Sindhi families. What ships well: sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, and dupattas for the Indian-tradition portion of the ceremony; non-figurative decor and floral arrangements; sealed dry sweets for sweet-distribution rituals. What doesn’t ship: anything liquid, perishable, or explicitly Hindu-figurative if the host family has flagged it as sensitive. Send 2–3 weeks ahead of the wedding date — express, with values declared honestly.
