What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. Australian biosecurity is among the world’s strictest; for Bhilwara’s big lane (B2B suiting samples to Australian fashion-importers) HS codes and an honest invoice keep parcels moving. 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 commercial goods — Bhilwara suiting samples to Australian fashion-importers — a printed invoice listing items, fabric composition, quantity, HS codes 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: 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. Items shipped against them 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. 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.
- 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
- Bhilwara suiting and shirting samples — polyester / wool blends from RSWM, Sangam, Banswara Syntex, Nitin Spinners. Declare composition; B2B-cleared without trouble.
- Textiles, handicrafts (no wood/leather) — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, 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.
- Personal documents — passports, originals, signed papers.

Asked most often.
I'm shipping suiting-fabric samples from a Bhilwara mill to a Sydney or Melbourne importer — what does Australian Border Force expect?
A printed commercial invoice with item-level HS codes, fabric composition stated as a percentage (e.g. 65% polyester / 35% wool), declared sample value in AUD or USD equivalent, and the importer's ABN on the recipient side. For Bhilwara mills — RSWM, Sangam, Banswara Syntex, Nitin Spinners — we prepare this at pickup. ABF and DAFF screen the parcel; clean fabric samples (no plant material, no wooden boards, no rolls wrapped in straw) clear within 24–72 hours.
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 and untreated wooden frames are routinely destroyed. Don't risk it — send textiles, books, jewellery and electronics instead.
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.
