International courier from Bikaner to Australia. Free home pickup.
Pickup from your Bikaner door, packed and documented, then road-fed to Jaipur or Delhi for the DTDC International airlift. 8–11 working days door-to-door for express; from ₹1,500 per kilogram before fuel surcharge and GST.
Five steps from your Bikaner door to an Australian address.
Pickup, Bikaner.
Free at 5 kg+. We bring tape, bubble wrap and the international airway bill — to your home, shop or Cantt-area address.
Pack & document.
Commercial invoice, KYC, content declaration. For Bikaneri bhujia/papad, full ingredient lists for DAFF — though Australia is the strictest biosecurity regime in the world for food. Done at our office before handover.
Road feeder & DTDC handover.
Bikaner has no airport, so the parcel is road-fed ~330 km to Jaipur or ~430 km to Delhi the same evening, then into the DTDC International facility for airlift to the Australia gateway via Mumbai or Delhi.
Australian customs.
Clearance at Sydney or Melbourne gateway. Australia’s biosecurity is strict — declared, paperwork-clean parcels typically clear within 24–72 hours.
Doorstep delivery.
Last-mile in the destination city. POD on WhatsApp the same day.
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. Bikaner adds about a day vs Udaipur because of the road feeder to Jaipur or Delhi.

- Volumetric2.25 kg
- Express, 2.25 kg × ₹1,500≈ ₹3,375
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹845
- + GST 18%≈ ₹760
- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,980
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. 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, 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: 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. For Bikaner’s famous bhujia/papad export trade, the realistic position is: only sealed factory-packed limited-quantity lots with full ingredient lists; even those are routinely flagged. Items shipped against the rules 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 of Bikaneri bhujia are routinely seized; only registered-exporter sealed limited-quantity lots have a chance.
- 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
- Sealed factory-packed Bikaneri bhujia / papad — small lots only — registered-exporter labelling, full ingredient list, batch number. DAFF still scrutinises and may seize. Set realistic expectations.
- Textiles, handicrafts (no wood/leather) — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, woollens from Bikaner’s cottage industry. 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.
Bhujia exports (limited), Marwari business, family parcels.

Asked most often.
Why is Australia so strict about food and organic items — what does it mean for Bikaneri bhujia exports?
Australia is an island ecosystem with biosecurity risks (insects, fungi, plant diseases) that don’t exist in most of the world. DAFF is the strictest food regime worldwide. For Bikaneri bhujia and papad: only registered-exporter sealed factory-packed limited-quantity lots with full ingredient declarations have a chance, and even those get flagged regularly. The realistic framing for Bikaner-to-Australia food exports is: don’t plan supply chains around it. Ship textiles, woollens, books, jewellery and electronics — they clear cleanly. Send food only as small B2B sample lots and expect attrition.
Do I need to fill a customs declaration form?
You don’t — DTDC fills the airway bill and the commercial invoice from the details you give us. What you provide is a clear list of what’s inside, item-level values, and the recipient’s phone number for the Australian courier’s last-mile contact attempt. Under-declaring value to dodge duty is a bad idea: it’s the consignee who pays the seized-parcel disposal fee, not the sender.
Why does Bikaner add a day vs Udaipur or Jaipur on Australia lanes?
Bikaner has no airport. The parcel is road-fed ~330 km to Jaipur or ~430 km to Delhi the same evening of pickup, joins the DTDC International airlift there, and clears the Australian gateway. Net effect: about one extra day vs an Udaipur or Jaipur direct booking. We pre-book the road feeder so you don’t lose a day at the Bikaner end.
