Five steps from your Bikaner door to an Italian address.
Pickup, Bikaner.

Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say sealed-pack Bikaneri-bhujia for an Italian-Indian-grocery network buyer:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,400≈ ₹2,800
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹700
- + GST 18%≈ ₹630
- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,650
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Italian customs (Agenzia delle Dogane) clears EU TARIC paperwork efficiently — but Italian-bureaucracy-style sometimes adds 1–2 days for verification. Get the Codice Fiscale right and the parcel moves. For Bikaneri-bhujia, sealed retail packs with EU labelling are the requirement.
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 with item, HS code, quantity and value. Recipient VAT number for B2B; personal recipient needs Codice Fiscale (Italian tax code). For gifts, a written declaration with stated value.
Prescription (medicines)
Sealed tablets only, with a copy of the doctor’s prescription and registration number. AIFA rules apply — no controlled substances, no liquid medicines, no injectables.
What Italy doesn’t let in.
These are real Agenzia delle Dogane and EU TARIC rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, and the consignee usually pays a disposal fee.
Don’t even try
- Counterfeit luxury goods — Italy is home to Gucci, Prada, Versace, Armani, Bulgari. Anti-counterfeit cooperation with Dogane is among the strictest in the EU.
- Loose / unsealed Bikaneri-bhujia or namkeen — EU food-import labelling applies; only sealed factory packs with allergen and ingredient declarations clear.
- Weapons and weapon-replicas — Italian law is strict; even decorative swords, kirpans and ornamental knives get flagged.
- Drug paraphernalia — pipes, scales, grow-kits and similar are blocked.
- Mafia-glorifying media — rare flag, but it exists in the inspection criteria.
- Ivory and CITES-listed products — strictly enforced.
- Aerosols, perfumes, lithium >100 Wh — universal courier restriction.
Allowed with care
- Sealed-pack Bikaneri-bhujia — factory retail packs with EU-style allergen and ingredient labelling clear cleanly to the Italian-Indian-grocery network.
- Textiles and outfits — block-print, silk, lehengas. Italy’s fashion-import customs handles non-counterfeit textiles cleanly.
- Books and printed material — any topic; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets — declare allergens; gluten flagged especially in Italian labelling rules.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, EU Rx-equivalent.
- Non-precious jewellery — declare ‘silver-plated brass’ or ‘costume jewellery’ explicitly.

Asked most often.
Why does Bikaner → Italy take a day longer than Delhi → Italy?
Bikaner has no airport. The road feeder to Jaipur or Delhi (~430 km) adds about a day before the air uplift, so we quote 7–9 working days express where Delhi origin would be 6–8. The feeder is built into our pricing — no separate surcharge.
Sending sealed-pack Bikaneri-bhujia to an Italian-Indian-grocery buyer — what clears EU food-import?
Factory-sealed retail packs with ingredients in English/Italian, allergen callouts (gluten especially — Italian labelling rules are picky on it), manufacturer name/address and best-before date. The commercial invoice must reference the buyer’s Partita IVA (Italian VAT). With those, Dogane clears it as a normal labelled-snack import. Loose or repacked snacks do not clear.
Italian Dogane bureaucracy — what does that actually mean for transit time?
Italy customs is competent and fair, but verification rounds happen — occasional letters request the same paperwork twice, and a parcel that would clear Frankfurt in 24 hours might take 48–72 in Rome or Milan. We quote 7–9 working days express to be straight with you. With clean paperwork, parcels rarely actually fail clearance — they just take a day or two longer.
