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. CFIA biosecurity is one of the strictest in the world — and Ajmer’s Dargah-devotee parcels need careful labelling so CBSA reads them correctly. We’ll 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 and devotee parcels, a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated.
Prescription (medicines)
For tablets going to a student or family member: prescription copy with doctor’s registration. Health Canada rules — sealed strip, no controlled substances, no injectables, no liquids.
What Canada doesn’t let in.
These are real CBSA, CFIA and Health Canada rules — not our caution. CFIA biosecurity is comparable to Australia’s in strictness on plant and animal material. Even cannabis products that are legal in Canada are blocked in international transit. For Ajmer devotee parcels: liquid tabarruk (rose-water, attar) and solid sweet tabarruk are blocked; cloth ziyarat souvenirs and printed prayer literature clear cleanly.
Don’t even try
- Dairy products — paneer, ghee, khoya-mithai, niyaz-mithai, tabarruk-sweets. CFIA seizes even sealed packs.
- Meat products — including dried and sealed.

- Fresh fruit, vegetables, seeds, plant material — CFIA biosecurity.
- Untreated wood and bamboo handicrafts — wooden frames, carved boxes, agarbatti sticks. Treated similarly to Australia.

- Raw spices in bulk — selectively flagged; small commercially-sealed packs occasionally permitted.

Asked most often.
Can I send tabarruk or rose-water from Dargah Sharif to my family in Toronto or Vancouver?
Solid sweet tabarruk falls under CFIA dairy / sugar-confection rules and is generally seized. Rose-water, attar, scented oils — all liquids — fail the universal courier liquid rule. What works: cloth ziyarat souvenirs, sealed printed Khwaja-Garib-Nawaz literature, embroidered chadar fragments declared as cloth gift, prayer beads (non-organic), printed prayer rolls. The Canadian Sufi-devotee community in Toronto and Vancouver receives these consignments regularly — we know what clears.
Why does CFIA flag wooden picture frames and bamboo handicrafts?
It’s biosecurity — the same logic that drives Australia’s strictness. Untreated wood and bamboo can carry insect larvae, fungi and plant pathogens that aren’t native to Canadian forests. CFIA seizes wooden frames, carved boxes, bamboo decor and even agarbatti sticks. Send papier-mâché, brass, textiles and printed-cotton handicrafts instead — they clear without trouble.
Pre-wedding shipment to Brampton — what should be in the parcel and what shouldn’t?
Marwari, Sindhi-Indian-Canadian and Punjabi-Canadian wedding shipments to the GTA (Brampton, Mississauga, Surrey) typically contain: sherwanis, lehengas, dupattas, juttis, non-precious jewellery boxes, and small Indian decor pieces. What shouldn’t go in — any food (sweets, dry fruits, namkeen — CFIA blocks dairy and selectively raw spices), any wooden or bamboo decoration, any leather without certification, fresh flowers or rose petals. We’ve handled many of these consignments; the wedding-day-safe packing list is well-tested.
