What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. For OEM-HQ supplier B2B, the documentation needs to be especially tight — Japanese OEMs’ purchase departments expect paperwork that matches the part exactly. 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; for B2B, supplier’s GST. We photograph it at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Commercial invoice with HS codes
For OEM-HQ samples — auto-component parts for Honda-Japan / Toyota-Japan / Suzuki-Japan / Nissan-Japan / Daikin-Japan: precise HS code, part description matching the supplier’s purchase order reference, quantity, fair value. Recipient OEM purchase-department contact and Zairyu equivalent (corporate registry) on the AWB.
Prescription (medicines)
For tablets going to a family member: a copy of the prescription with the doctor’s registration number. MHLW reviews medicines; sealed strips, name matching the recipient’s Zairyu Card. No injectables, no liquid medicines.
What Japan doesn’t let in.
Japan Customs (Zeikan) is efficient but strict. Plant and animal quarantine (MAFF) is among the toughest in the world. For B2B samples, packaging matters too — untreated wooden crates trigger MAFF holds even when the part itself is fine.
Don’t even try
- Meat & meat products — extremely strict. Even sealed dry meat snacks and jerky are routinely rejected at MAFF inspection.
- Dairy products — fresh paneer, ghee, khoya-mithai, raw milk products. Some packaged exemptions exist; assume seized.
- Fresh fruit, vegetables, seeds, plants — MAFF is uncompromising. Even decorative dried flowers and untreated wooden packing material get flagged.
- Untreated wooden crates / pallets — packaging issue. Use heat-treated (HT-stamped) ISPM-15 wood for sample crates if needed.
- Live animals, insects, biological samples — quarantine clearance required.
- Narcotic-precursor chemicals & certain cosmetics — banned under Japanese pharmaceutical law.
- Liquids, oils, lubricants and aerosols — universal courier rule; matters for B2B if you ship lubricated parts. Wipe and seal before pickup.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Bhiwadi auto-component samples — fasteners, brackets, plastic mouldings, sheet-metal pressings, ECUs (declare), gaskets. Pack in non-organic material; declare HS code and OEM PO reference.
- Textiles & sarees — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, lehengas, sherwanis. Declare a fair value.
- Books and printed material — any language including technical drawings. Declare title and value.
- Sealed dry vegetarian sweets — declare every ingredient; choose besan ladoo / dry-fruit barfi over kalakand.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, name matching the Zairyu Card.
- Non-precious jewellery, small electronics — declare make, model, value.
Bhiwadi-to-OEM-HQ B2B, NCR-IT family parcels, weddings.
Bhiwadi auto-component samples to Japanese OEM HQs
This is the genuinely distinctive lane for Alwar. The Bhiwadi auto-cluster supplies Honda Cars India (Greater Noida / Tapukara), Hero MotoCorp, Suzuki India, Daikin India, Ashok Leyland, and tier-2/3 vendors to Toyota-Kirloskar — all of these have direct supplier-to-OEM-parent reporting lines. Bhiwadi suppliers send Honda-component samples and inspection reports to Honda HQ in Tokyo (Aoyama / Wako R&D); Suzuki samples to Hamamatsu / Tokyo; Toyota-supplier samples to Toyota City and Tokyo procurement; Daikin samples to Osaka; Nissan-line samples to Yokohama. Documentation: HS code, OEM PO reference, supplier GST, recipient corporate contact. We keep OEM-recipient profiles on file once the first shipment lands cleanly.
NCR-IT family parcels
Alwar is on the NCR spillover — many Alwar families have a son or daughter in Japan’s IT and engineering sector after a Gurgaon / Noida career stop. Festival outfits, sealed sweets (vegetarian, MAFF-strict), kitchen tools, photo prints. Shipped from the family home.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas shipped ahead of Indian-Japanese weddings. Non-precious jewellery boxes go in the same parcel.
Diwali parcels (vegetarian-only, MAFF-strict)
Diyas, decorations, sealed dry mithai (besan ladoo, dry-fruit barfi). No agarbatti made of untreated bamboo, no fresh ghee, no flowers. Express in to land before the festival.
Personal documents & technical drawings
Engineering drawings, ISO certificates, sample inspection reports, 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. For OEM-HQ B2B, we forward POD with the recipient’s purchase-department signature confirmation.
Asked most often.
I’m a Bhiwadi supplier sending sample parts to Honda-Japan — what works?
Set a recurring slot. Documents: commercial invoice with HS codes, item-level pricing matching your Honda PO reference, sample inspection report and dimensional drawings, your GST, and the Honda Aoyama / Wako R&D recipient contact on the AWB. Wipe and dry parts before pickup — no oil residue or open lubricant on samples (Japan Customs flags wet/oily packages). Use non-organic packing — no untreated wood, no straw. Pack in heat-treated ISPM-15 crates if a wooden box is needed. We keep the Honda-recipient profile on file after the first clean delivery; same routine works for Suzuki, Toyota tier-suppliers, Daikin, Nissan.
Why is the Alwar lane to Japan as fast as a Delhi-origin lane?
Alwar is ~150 km from the Delhi DTDC International facility — the Bhiwadi industrial cluster sits along the Alwar–Delhi corridor. Same-day or next-morning feeder runs are standard. Effectively the lane behaves like a Delhi-origin shipment with a half-day pickup-and-feeder addition; for OEM-HQ B2B we time the feeder so the air leg goes out the same evening DTDC books it. Total Alwar → Japan transit: 6–9 working days door-to-door.
Can I ship a sealed Diwali mithai to my child working in Tokyo?
Vegetarian, sealed, no fresh dairy. Besan ladoo, dry-fruit barfi, kaju katli from a factory pack will usually clear; ghee-laden kalakand or fresh paneer-based sweets get flagged. Declare every ingredient on the invoice — we list each item by name. Express in early; Diwali parcels arriving on the day are tight if customs picks the parcel for inspection. The recipient’s Zairyu Card on the AWB speeds clearance.
