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. Sanctions-routing means transit is longer than pre-2022; we won't pretend otherwise.

Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a tray of non-precious gem-trade samples and a Sanganer block-print stole for a Marwari merchant family in Moscow:
- 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.
Russia’s post-2022 customs regime is documentation-precise. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so the parcel doesn’t stall at Sheremetyevo.
KYC PLUS sender declaration
Photo ID for the AWB sender (Aadhaar, passport or driving licence), plus a sender declaration form confirming no dual-use or sanctioned items. We photograph at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Commercial invoice (item-level)
Russian Customs (ФТС) wants line-by-line item descriptions and prices. Vague invoices like ‘gifts ₹5,000’ get held. Gem-trade samples must be declared as non-precious / synthetic / glass with HSN; precious stones need additional licensing the partner network won’t touch.
Recipient INN / SNILS / passport
Russian recipients need to provide their INN (tax ID) or SNILS, or passport copy for personal parcels. For Roszdravnadzor medicines, prescription with doctor’s registration number.
What Russia doesn’t let in.
Russia’s import landscape changed sharply after 2022 Western sanctions. These are real Russian Customs (ФТС) and partner-network rules — items shipped against them are seized, and sender may face documentation review. We’d rather you know upfront.
Don’t even try
- Electronics with US-export-controlled chips — laptops, smartphones, semiconductor-bearing devices on Western sanctions lists are blocked at customs.
- Encryption-enabled hardware above threshold — certain crypto-grade devices need FSB licensing; our partner network won’t carry them.
- Recreational drugs, weapons, replicas — universal hard-no, severe penalty.
- Precious stones and certified-precious jewellery — Russia tightly controls precious-stone import; Jaipur senders should ship non-precious, synthetic or sample-grade only with clear declaration.
- Anti-government media, LGBTQ+ promotional materials — Russia’s ‘anti-propaganda’ law applies; even Pride-flag-bearing Western-published items can be flagged. Be aware before sending.
- Certain medical equipment under sanctions — sanctioned-list medical devices won’t clear; tablets-with-prescription generally fine.
- Liquids and aerosols of any kind — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Non-precious / synthetic gem-trade samples — declare clearly as synthetic, glass or sample-grade with item-level value. Jaipur’s gem-trade B2B parcels to Moscow Marwari merchants run on this template.
- Block-print fabric, sarees, lehengas — declare a fair value. Russians appreciate Indian textile work; Sanganer and Bagru block-print is a small but lucrative niche with Moscow design boutiques.
- Books, printed material (non-political) — any non-political topic is fine. Russian-translated Indian classical-music and Ayurveda materials are welcomed; Russian-Indian cultural exchange has long history.
- Sealed dry sweets — dry mithai in factory packs, declare ingredients and value. Wet sweets / dairy-heavy items are riskier.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor’s registration number, recipient INN. No injectables, no controlled substances, no liquids.
- Non-precious jewellery, papier-mâché, small electronics — declare make and value. Avoid devices with sanctions-controlled features.
- Indian-cultural materials — Sanskrit books, classical-music sheet, Ayurveda guides — all fine and historically welcomed.
Gem-trade samples, block-print B2B, Marwari merchant parcels.
Gem-trade non-precious samples to Moscow Marwari merchants
Jaipur is the world’s coloured-gemstone hub and the Moscow Marwari-merchant trade has historic Persian-Marwari-Russian roots — Marwari merchants in Moscow have long-standing roles in textile and stone trade. Non-precious / synthetic / sample-grade gem trays clear cleanly when declared honestly with HSN. Precious-stone shipments need separate licensing — ship non-precious only on this lane.
Block-print B2B to Moscow design boutiques
Sanganer and Bagru block-print is a small but lucrative niche — Russian appreciation for Indian textile arts is strong. Moscow design boutiques and Indian-restaurant chains source bolt fabric, table linen and cushion covers from Jaipur. Commercial invoice with HSN, sender KYC, recipient INN.
Non-precious jewellery and wedding outfits
Sherwanis, lehengas, dupattas, costume-jewellery sets to Indian-Russian weddings and Marwari-merchant family functions in Moscow. Always express; ship 2–3 weeks ahead given longer sanctions-routing transit.
Gifts to Indian-Russian families
Small Indian diaspora in Moscow — historically Marwari trader families in the Aerovokzal-Mira-Prospekt area. Sarees, dry sweets, kids’ festival outfits. St Petersburg has a quieter community. Ship to apartment-block addresses; recipient INN required.
Business documents to Marwari traders
Moscow’s Pizhenkov and All-Russia Exhibition Centre wholesale districts host long-standing Indian-merchant trade. Signed contracts, originals, certified copies — express courier with item-level invoice.
Student care kits (MSU, MIPT, ITMO)
Small Indian-student presence on medical and engineering tracks at Moscow State University, MIPT and ITMO St Petersburg. Books, sealed dry snacks, festival clothing, prescription tablets with paperwork.
Indian classical-music & Ayurveda materials
Russians have historically appreciated Indian classical music and Ayurveda — Russian-translated reference books, sheet music, brass instruments (small). Ayurveda-cultural-exchange shipments are routine and welcomed; Russian-Indian wellness exchange has long history.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.

When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour. Sanctions-routing means longer transit; we’ll keep you informed if customs holds longer than 4 days.
Asked most often.
I run a Jaipur gem-trade desk shipping non-precious samples to a Moscow Marwari buyer — what’s the routine?
Standard B2B route: commercial invoice with line-by-line item descriptions (synthetic / glass / sample-grade), HSN codes, sender KYC, recipient INN, sanctions-compliance declaration confirming no dual-use items. Precious stones we don’t carry on this lane — partner network needs separate licensing and post-sanctions Russian Customs is strict on precious-metal/stone classification. For sample-grade, a clean first parcel sets the template; subsequent shipments move on the same paperwork. Pickup from Johari Bazaar, MI Road, C-Scheme — wherever your trade office is.
What’s the realistic transit on Jaipur → Russia post-2022?
Express is 8–12 working days, economy is 12–18. Pre-sanctions it was faster — direct Aeroflot flights from Delhi made 5–7-day transits routine. Now the partner-network routes via Gulf or other transit hubs and Russian Customs (ФТС) is documentation-precise, so plan for 2–4 days at clearance. We’d rather quote honest numbers than promise pre-2022 timing.
What can’t I ship to Russia because of Western sanctions?
Mainly: electronics with US-export-controlled chips (newer laptops, certain smartphones), encryption-enabled hardware above threshold, certain medical equipment on sanctions lists, and precious stones / certified-precious jewellery (separate licensing). Block-print fabric, books, sealed dry sweets, non-precious jewellery, prescription tablets, papier-mâché — all fine. Our DTDC International team will flag at pickup if anything in your declaration is sanctions-sensitive; we won’t carry items that will be seized.
