What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. Singapore is fast when the paperwork is right. We’ll walk you through it before pickup.
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 NRI-family gifts, a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated. The recipient’s FIN or NRIC speeds clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
HSA reviews medicines crossing the Singapore border. Sealed strips, doctor’s prescription with registration number, name matching the recipient’s FIN. No injectables, no controlled substances.
What Singapore doesn’t let in.
Singapore Customs is efficient but the rules are unusually strict for some categories. These are real Singaporean rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, and serious cases (especially drugs) carry severe criminal penalty for the consignee.

Shekhawati-Marwari NRI gifts, business documents.
Shekhawati-Marwari NRI-family gifts
Sikar / Shekhawati and Singapore have a historic Marwari merchant connection — many wealthy Sikar-Shekhawati-origin business families settled in Singapore over generations and maintain ancestral haveli ties. Sealed dry Marwari mithai, festival outfits, jewellery boxes (non-precious) are the steady traffic to Little India and Bukit Timah Marwari households.
Marwari business documents
Signed contracts, sample-dispatch papers, LCs between Sikar / Shekhawati ancestral families and their Singapore-based business arms in Serangoon Road, Race Course Road and the Singapore CBD. Always express; tracked international document is faster than registered post.
Wedding & festival outfits
Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas shipped ahead of Indian-Singaporean weddings to Marwari NRI families. Non-precious jewellery boxes go in the same parcel.
Diwali parcels (sealed dry)
Singapore Indians celebrate Diwali heavily; the Marwari diaspora especially. Sealed dry mithai, diyas, decorations. Express in to land before the festival.
Returning-traveller baggage
Singapore-Marwari families who returned to the Shekhawati-haveli circuit and ran out of suitcase room. Picked from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly home.
Student care kits
NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD — Indian-student presence including Sikar-rooted students. Books, sealed dry snacks, kitchen tools, festival clothing.
Personal documents
Employment papers, passports, signed contracts for Sikar-rooted Marwari NRI families. Always express.
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.
How does Sikar → Singapore compare with Jaipur direct?
Add about half a day for the Jaipur feeder — Sikar has no airport, so we road-move 115 km to Jaipur same-day, then DTDC International runs the Mumbai/Delhi-Singapore air leg. Express lands in 5–7 working days door-to-door. Pricing is the same — pickup from Sikar is bundled, no separate feeder charge.
We have Marwari relatives in Singapore — what’s the routine for festival packages?
Sikar-Singapore is a historic Marwari diaspora corridor. Sealed dry Marwari mithai (factory-sealed, declared by ingredient), saree / lehenga sets, non-precious jewellery boxes. We pick from your Sikar home, road-feed to Jaipur, hand over to DTDC International. Recipient FIN on the AWB — Singapore customs clears clean parcels in 12–48 hours.
Singapore really bans chewing gum?
Yes, since 1992. The ban is part of Singapore’s strict-cleanliness policy and is enforced. Medical and dental gum needs a prescription. Regular Wrigley’s or similar imported as a gift will be refused at customs.
