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. Alwar matches Udaipur and Jaipur on transit, and is ~1 day faster than Kota.
Starting per-kg rates
- Express (6–9 days, door)from ₹1,500 / kg
- Economy (10–14 days, door)from ₹1,100 / kg
- Min billable weight0.5 kg
- Pickup from AlwarFree at 5 kg+
Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.
Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a sherwani set with a non-precious jewellery box for a Brampton-resident family wedding, ~30 × 25 × 15 cm:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,500≈ ₹3,000
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹750
- + GST 18%≈ ₹675
- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,950
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 — 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 (including Bhiwadi auto-component samples), 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: 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. Items shipped against the rules are seized and destroyed.
Don’t even try
- Dairy products — paneer, ghee, khoya-mithai. 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.
- Cannabis and CBD products — even legal-in-Canada products are blocked in international courier transit.
- Raw spices in bulk — selectively flagged; small commercially-sealed packs occasionally permitted.
- Aerosols, lithium batteries above 100 Wh, all liquids — universal courier rules.
Allowed with care
- Auto-component samples (Bhiwadi B2B) — small mechanical parts, fasteners, prototype components for OEM evaluation. Ship with HS codes and full B2B invoice.
- Textiles and handicrafts — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, papier-mâché (no untreated wood). Declare a fair value.
- Books and printed material — straightforward.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, prescription attached, sender quantity prescribed only.
- Non-precious jewellery and small electronics — declare make, model, value.
- Sarees, sherwanis, dupattas, papier-mâché — declare value, no embedded organic decoration.

Asked most often.
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.
Can I ship Bhiwadi auto-component B2B samples — what do I need?
Yes — this is a regular B2B lane for us. We need: a printed commercial invoice with HS codes for each component, value per item (real value, not under-declared), the recipient procurement team’s contact, and the supplier’s GSTIN. For ISO-certified parts, we attach the certificate copy. CBSA scrutinises auto-component imports because of duty classification — paperwork-clean B2B parcels clear in 24–72 hours.
Should I ship in winter — Nov to Mar — and what survives the cold?
You can ship year-round. The thing to know about winter transit (Nov–Mar) is that anything battery-powered or electronic spends time below zero in cargo holds and on Canada Post trucks; lithium devices generally survive but lose performance. Liquids freeze and burst — but you can’t ship liquid pickle or oil-based items anyway. Textiles, books, dry handicrafts, auto-component samples and documents are unaffected.
