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 — and for Jaipur’s gem-trade and block-print exporters, the extra paperwork Australian Border Force expects.
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 B2B parcels — block-print bulk, non-precious gem samples, jewellery sample boxes — a printed commercial 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 Jaipur senders specifically: precious stones (diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire) and gold/silver jewellery DO NOT travel on courier — use insured cargo or carrier hand-carry. Items shipped against the rules are seized, destroyed, and may incur a disposal fee billed to the consignee.
Don’t even try
- Precious stones (diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire) and gold/silver jewellery — courier networks won’t carry; use insured cargo or carrier hand-carry.
- 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
- Block-print and Sanganer/Bagru textiles — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, papier-mâché. Declare a fair value.
- Non-precious gem samples and synthetic stones — declare each item with description, weight and value; ABF routinely opens jewellery parcels.
- Kundan, Meenakari, Polki decorative pieces (non-precious) — declare make, technique, 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.
Gem samples, block-print B2B, weddings.
Gem-trade non-precious sample shipments
From Johari Bazaar dealers to Sydney and Melbourne buyers — synthetic stones, glass samples, non-precious sample-grade stones. Always with KYC and commercial invoice. Loose precious stones go via insured cargo, never courier.
Block-print textile B2B
Sanganer and Bagru hand-block printed cotton, cushion covers, dohars — shipped to Sydney (Surry Hills, Paddington) and Melbourne (Fitzroy, Collingwood) design boutiques and small importers. Commercial invoice handled at pickup.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, non-precious Kundan / Meenakari jewellery boxes. Shipped ahead of weddings to Indian-Australian families in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
Student care packages
Books, kitchen kit (no wood), sealed snacks (with biosecurity caveat — declare honestly), bedsheets, festival clothing. Shipped to Sydney-Uni, Melbourne-Uni, UNSW, Monash, ANU, UQ — campuses with strong Jaipur-Royal-school matriculation.
Personal documents
Passports, originals, signed contracts, certified copies. Always express; tracked international document is faster and safer than registered post.
Diwali parcels (non-food)
Diyas, decorations, pooja items (no agarbatti, no flowers, no food). Recommend express to land before the festival.
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. When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour.
Asked most often.
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 block-print textiles, books, non-precious jewellery and electronics instead.
Can I ship loose precious stones from Johari Bazaar to Sydney or Melbourne?
No — courier is the wrong channel. Australia’s precious-stone trade routes from Jaipur use insured cargo agents (Brinks, Malca-Amit) or licensed carrier hand-carry through Sydney customs with proper paperwork. We DO ship from Johari Bazaar to Australia — but only synthetic-stone sample lots, glass-sample shipments, non-precious sample stones and Kundan / Meenakari decorative pieces (non-precious metal). All require KYC and a full commercial invoice.
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.
