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 — and we know Ajmer’s Dargah-devotee parcels need careful labelling so Australian Border Force reads them correctly.
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 and devotee parcels, 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. For Ajmer Dargah-devotee parcels: liquid tabarruk (rose-water, attar) and solid sweet tabarruk are blocked; cloth ziyarat souvenirs and printed prayer literature clear cleanly. Items shipped against the rules 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, tabarruk-mithai. 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 (Pushkar souvenir flower-petals especially).
- Rose-water, attar, liquid tabarruk — universal liquid block.
- 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
- Cloth ziyarat souvenirs — green-cloth chadar fragments, printed prayer rolls, sealed Khwaja-Garib-Nawaz literature, embroidered prayer mats. Declare a fair value.
- Textiles, handicrafts (no wood/leather) — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, embroidered shawls, 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.

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, agarbatti sticks, dried Pushkar-flower decorations and untreated wooden frames are routinely destroyed. Don’t risk it — send block-print textiles, books, cloth-based devotee items, non-precious jewellery and electronics instead.
Can I send a Dargah-devotee gift to my family in Sydney or Melbourne?
Yes — but cloth-only. What works: green-cloth chadar fragments, embroidered prayer-mats, sealed printed Khwaja-Garib-Nawaz literature, prayer beads (non-organic). What doesn’t: agarbatti (plant material — Australian biosecurity seizes), rose-water and attar (liquid block), solid tabarruk-mithai (food / dairy block), pressed flowers from Pushkar. We’ve shipped many devotee parcels to the Australian Sufi-community; cloth-and-paper consignments arrive cleanly.
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.
