- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,300
Indicative only. Larger antique-furniture B2B consignments are quoted by volumetric weight — talk to us.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Mauritius is small, well-organised, and customs clears quickly when paperwork is clean. Antique-furniture replicas need extra paperwork — we’ll walk you through it.
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 (handicraft, antique-furniture-replica, restaurant supplies), printed invoice with items, quantity and value. Furniture replicas must be declared as ‘reproduction / new manufacture’ with HSN — never ‘antique’ — to avoid CITES/cultural-heritage scrutiny. Photographs and dimensions for large items.
Recipient National ID / passport
Mauritian recipients should provide their National ID or passport copy. For Ministry of Health Mauritius medicines, prescription with doctor’s registration number.
What Mauritius doesn’t let in.
These are real Mauritius Revenue Authority Customs and biodiversity-protection rules. The country protects its marine ecosystem strictly — especially CITES-listed marine items.
Don’t even try
- Recreational drugs / narcotics — severe penalty under Mauritian law.
- Weapons & weapon-replicas — strict; even decorative kirpans and replica firearms can be seized.
- Genuine antiques over 50 years old — Indian Antiquities Act forbids export; partner network won’t carry. Ship reproductions / new manufacture only.
- Counterfeit goods — Customs actively screens for fake-brand textiles.
- CITES-listed items — ivory, rhino-horn, certain shells, marine items. Furniture inlay must avoid bone, horn, ivory.
- Marine-life products — corals, certain shells, sea-fan items. Mauritius is biodiversity-protected; even decorative items can be seized.
- Liquids and aerosols of any kind — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Antique-furniture replicas, decorative arts, brass and wood handicraft — Jodhpur’s core export. Declare as new-manufacture reproduction with photographs and dimensions; Port Louis villa-imports and colonial-style-mansion buyers source these regularly. Mauritian Indo-Creole aesthetic loves Indian craftsmanship.
- Leather goods, mojaris, decorative bags — declare make and value. Standard B2B clears cleanly.
- Textiles, dhurries, sarees, lehengas — declare a fair value. Hindu-wedding outfit volumes are heavy on this lane.
- Books and printed material — any topic. Mauritian-Creole, French and Bhojpuri-translated Indian materials are welcomed.
- Sealed dry sweets — declare ingredients including allergens.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor’s registration, recipient National ID.
- Non-precious jewellery, papier-mâché, small electronics — declare make and value.
- Hindu religious materials, Sanskrit books — straightforward; declare title and value. Mauritius preserved Hindu-Bhojpuri culture remarkably and these are routine shipments.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B, decorative arts, Diwali parcels.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B to Port Louis villa-imports & colonial-style mansions
Jodhpur is India’s antique-furniture-replica capital — Salawas, Boranada and the Sardarpura corridor host hundreds of workshops feeding global decorator markets. Port Louis villa-importers and Curepipe / Rose Hill colonial-style-mansion owners source carved doors, Rajput-style chests, brass-clad cabinets and reproduction-antique side tables. Mauritian Indo-Creole aesthetic resonates strongly with Jodhpur craftsmanship. Small samples ship by courier; full container loads need air-cargo / sea-freight (we’ll route appropriately).
Handicraft and decorative arts
Brass diyas (non-precious), papier-mâché, wood-carved trays, mirror-work cushions, marble inlay pieces. Long-standing Port Louis / Pamplemousses wholesale demand. Commercial invoice with HSN, sender KYC, recipient National ID.
Leather goods, mojaris, decorative bags
Jodhpur’s leather cluster ships mojari shoes, embroidered handbags and decorative leather pieces to Mauritian boutique buyers. Standard B2B paperwork.
Diwali parcels (sealed only)
Mauritius is one of the few countries where Diwali is an officially-recognised public holiday. Volumes spike Oct-Nov to Mauritian-Hindu families. Diyas, decorations, pooja items, sealed dry sweets, kids’ outfits.
Wedding outfits to Mauritian-Hindu weddings
Hindu-style ceremonies are the most common Mauritian wedding form. Sherwanis, lehengas, dupattas, dhurrie wedding floor pieces. Wedding-season volume runs all year with peaks in winter months.
Returning-traveller baggage from Mauritian tourists
Very heavy Mauritian-tourist flow to India for ancestral pilgrimage — Varanasi, Bihar, UP villages — plus Rajasthan circuit. Tourists who bought too much in Jodhpur — antique-replica side tables, leather trunks, dhurries — ship the overflow home from the hotel.
Hindu-religious materials, Sanskrit books, Mauritian-mansion decor
Mauritius preserved Hindu-Bhojpuri culture remarkably. Brass puja items (non-precious), Sanskrit reference books, Ramayana copies, prayer-mat sets — and on the decor side, dhurries and brass home-temples for Mauritian-Hindu mansions.

Asked most often.
I run a Jodhpur antique-furniture-replica workshop shipping samples to Port Louis / Curepipe villa-importers — what’s the routine?
Standard B2B route, but with one critical detail: declare every piece as ‘reproduction / new manufacture’ with HSN, never as ‘antique’. Genuine antiques (50 years+) cannot be exported under Indian law. With ‘reproduction’ honestly declared on the commercial invoice — line-by-line item, dimensions, photographs attached — Mauritian Customs clears these cleanly. Mauritian Indo-Creole aesthetic resonates with Jodhpur craftsmanship; Port Louis villa-importers and Curepipe / Rose Hill colonial-style-mansion owners are recurring buyers. Small carved samples ship by courier; full container loads need air-cargo or sea-freight.
What makes Jodhpur → Mauritius a unique lane?
Mauritius is essentially ‘India outside India’ — 67%+ of the population traces ancestry to indentured labour from Bihar, eastern UP, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Andhra. Diwali is a public holiday. Hindu weddings are the most common wedding form. Bhojpuri is widely spoken. Jodhpur’s antique-furniture-replica and dhurrie exports resonate especially well with Mauritian Indo-Creole interior aesthetic — these are ongoing categories, not one-off shipments.
What’s realistic transit on this lane?
Express is 6–8 working days, economy is 8–13. Jodhpur’s extra inland leg via Delhi or Mumbai gateway adds about a day vs metro origins. Air Mauritius runs direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi to MRU. Mauritius Revenue Authority is small-country efficient and clears clean paperwork in roughly 24 hours.
