Five steps from your Alwar door to a Bahraini address.
Pickup, Alwar.
Free at 5 kg+. We come to Alwar city, Bhiwadi industrial area, MIA, or wherever you are. Tape, bubble wrap and the international airway bill in hand.

Commercial invoice, KYC, recipient CPR number on the AWB. Done at our office before handover.
Delhi-feeder + DTDC.
Same-day or next-morning run from Alwar to the Delhi DTDC International facility — Alwar is ~150 km from Delhi, so the feeder is fast. Air movement to Manama on Gulf Air’s direct service.
Bahraini customs.
Clearance at BAH Manama. Bahrain is smaller and generally faster through customs than Saudi or Kuwait — clean paperwork typically clears within 24–48 hours.
Doorstep delivery.

Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a Bhiwadi auto-component sample with technical drawings for a Manama industrial-supply buyer:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹750≈ ₹1,500
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹375
- + GST 18%≈ ₹340
- Approx total, express≈ ₹2,500
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Bahrain is one of the more practical Gulf customs regimes — smaller country, smaller queue. Documents still need to be tight, especially for Bhiwadi B2B samples. 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 Bhiwadi B2B samples, a printed invoice with HS codes, item-level pricing and recipient business name. For gifts, a written declaration with values stated. Under-declaring trips Bahraini customs more often than people expect.
Recipient CPR number
Bahrain’s Central Population Registration ID (CPR) for the consignee — written on the AWB. For commercial parcels, Commercial Registration (CR) of the buyer is also useful. Without one of these, the parcel can sit at clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
For tablets going to a family member: copy of the prescription with doctor’s registration number, sealed strips, no liquids, no controlled substances. NHRA (Bahrain’s health regulator) sets the rules.
What Bahrain doesn’t let in.
Bahrain is slightly more permissive than Saudi Arabia — alcohol is legal in licensed venues, for example — but courier parcels still face Sharia-aligned customs screening. Items below are Customs-flagged or outright banned.
Don’t even try
- Pork and pork products — banned in courier consignments regardless of packaging.
- Alcohol — courier zero-tolerance even though hotels and licensed shops sell it.
- Poppy seeds (khus khus) — common Indian kitchen item, treated as narcotic precursor.
- CBD, cannabis, e-cigarettes, vape liquids — banned outright.
- Israeli-origin products — flagged at customs.
- Materials disrespectful to Islam — religious imagery from other faiths in commercial form, anti-Islamic literature.
- Aerosols, perfumes in pressurised cans — air-leg restricted.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Bhiwadi industrial-component samples — auto-components, mechanical parts, fasteners; declare HS code and CR of buyer.
- Textiles, sarees, lehengas, dupattas — declare a fair value, no issue.
- Books — Indian academic, fiction, religious texts of Islam are fine; avoid materials critical of Islam or Bahrain’s monarchy.
- Sealed dry sweets — factory-sealed mithai (kaju katli, soan papdi) generally clears; loose sweets do not.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, copy of Rx, recipient CPR. No injectables.
- Non-precious jewellery, papier-mâché, small electronics — declare make, model, fair value.
- Personal documents — passports, originals, signed papers.
Bhiwadi B2B, NCR-IT family parcels, weddings.
Bhiwadi industrial-component B2B
Bhiwadi is one of north India’s big auto-component clusters — Honda, Hero, Daikin, Ashok Leyland and tier-2/3 suppliers operate there. Mechanical parts, fasteners, sample fixtures, technical drawings move from Bhiwadi suppliers to Manama industrial-supply buyers. Commercial invoice with HS codes is non-negotiable; we draft the first one and keep the buyer details on file.
NCR-IT family parcels
Alwar is on the NCR spillover — many families have a son or daughter working in Bahrain’s IT or banking sector after a Gurgaon or Noida career stop. Festival outfits, sealed sweets, kitchen tools, photo prints. Shipped from the family home in Alwar.
Wedding outfits
Lehengas, sherwanis, jewellery boxes (non-precious), dupattas. Shipped ahead of weddings to Indian-Bahraini families. Express recommended so it lands well before the function.
Diwali parcels (Sharia-compatible)
Diyas, decorations, pooja items (no agarbatti, modest pack). For food gifts use only factory-sealed dry sweets, declared on invoice. No bulk pooja-flame items.
Returning-traveller baggage
Bahrain-resident relatives who visited the family home in Alwar and ran out of suitcase room. Picked up from the home, packed, shipped before they fly out.
Personal documents
Employment papers, passports, signed contracts. Always express; tracked international document is faster than registered post.
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.
Why does the Alwar lane run as fast as a Delhi-origin lane?
Alwar is ~150 km from the Delhi DTDC International facility — the feeder run is fast, often same-day. Effectively the lane behaves like a Delhi-origin shipment with a half-day pickup-and-feeder addition. We stage daily runs to Delhi from the Bhiwadi-MIA cluster, so B2B senders typically see no calendar-day penalty vs a direct Delhi pickup.
I’m a Bhiwadi auto-component supplier sending samples — what’s the routine?
Set a weekly or fortnightly slot. Documents: commercial invoice with HS codes, item-level pricing, your GST and the buyer’s Commercial Registration (CR) number on the AWB. Mechanical components, fasteners, sample fixtures, technical drawings move cleanly. Avoid lithium-battery-equipped items above 100 Wh on the air leg, and any aerosol/lubricant in pressurised packs. Once the buyer profile is on file, recurring sends only need the new consignment list and values.
What’s the realistic transit time for express?
Five to seven working days, door to door. Gulf Air runs daily direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi to Manama, so the air leg is short. Most of the variance is on the customs side: parcels with the CPR or CR on the AWB and a fair-value invoice clear in 24–48 hours.
