Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a Mayo-alumni care kit (books, sealed snacks, festival clothing) for a Manila-based old-boy:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,100≈ ₹2,200
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹550
- + GST 18%≈ ₹495
- Approx total, express≈ ₹3,650
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
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.
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 + TIN
Printed invoice with item, quantity and value. Bureau of Customs prefers the recipient's TIN (Tax Identification Number) or SSS number on the AWB. Without one, low-value parcels usually still clear — but B2B and higher-value shipments slow.
Prescription (medicines)
Sealed strips, doctor's prescription with registration, recipient TIN. FDA Philippines screens the format. No injectables, no controlled substances.
What the Philippines doesn't let in.
Bureau of Customs (BOC) is more permissive than the strict ASEAN states, but it still has a published prohibited list. Below is what won't make it through.
Don't even try
- Pornography and obscene material — banned outright.
- Drugs of any kind — death penalty no longer applies but trafficking sentences are severe; possession is criminal.
- Firearms, ammunition, certain weapons and edged products — refused.
- Religious-extremist or anti-state material — refused. Note: ordinary Sufi devotional material is fine and welcomed by the Mindanao Muslim community; only extremist political-religious tracts are flagged.
- Copyright-infringing media and counterfeit goods — fake-branded clothing, watches, software.
- E-cigarettes (some provinces), aerosols — restricted.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Sufi-devotional items — tasbeeh, prayer caps, sealed dargah-prasad packets — declare 'religious devotional items, personal use'. Mindanao Muslim community has small Sufi presence.
- Textiles, sarees, cotton fabric — declare item, quantity and a fair value.
- Books and printed material — straightforward; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets — factory-sealed, declare on invoice.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor's prescription, recipient TIN.
- Non-precious jewellery, small electronics — declare make and value.
- Christian iconography & papier-mâché — Philippines is Catholic-majority and Christian decorative items are welcomed inbound.
Mayo-alumni kits, Sufi-devotee gifts, handicraft.
Mayo College alumni Manila care kits
Mayo College's old-boy network has a Manila cluster — finance, BPO leadership, expat business. Care kits — books, sealed dry snacks, festival clothing, school memorabilia — go through this lane around reunions and festivals. Express, declared honestly.
Sufi-devotee Mindanao diaspora gifts
Mindanao has a small but established Muslim community with Sufi-tariqa presence linked to Indian Chishti / Naqshbandi tradition. Devotional items — tasbeeh, prayer caps, sealed dargah-prasad packets, Urdu / Arabic Sufi literature — move on this lane. Declare clearly as 'religious devotional items, personal use'.
Handicraft to Greenhills wholesale
Greenhills Mall (San Juan) Marwari merchants source small Rajasthan handicraft, decorative arts, dohars. Commercial invoice + KYC + recipient TIN keeps repeat lanes smooth.
Returning-traveller baggage
Filipino tourists who shopped in Ajmer (Dargah-circuit pilgrim shopping, Kishangarh marble keepsakes) — picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly home.
Wedding outfits to fusion weddings
Filipino-Indian fusion weddings — sarees, lehengas, sherwanis. Express, with values declared.
Christian-iconography decor
Philippines is Catholic-majority — Christian decorative items (carved boxes, embroidered altar cloths) are welcomed inbound.
Business documents
Signed contracts, sample-tags, certified copies. Express document service, 7–8 days.
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.
Can I send Sufi-devotional items to a Mindanao Muslim friend?
Yes, with sensible declaration. Philippines is Catholic-majority, but Mindanao has an established Muslim community with documented Sufi-tariqa presence linked to Indian Chishti / Naqshbandi tradition. Sealed dargah-prasad packets, tasbeeh, prayer caps, Urdu / Arabic Sufi literature all move cleanly when declared honestly on invoice as 'religious devotional items, personal use'. Bureau of Customs respects religious-purpose items when paperwork is straightforward. We won't ship anything resembling political-religious extremist material.
How fast does express actually land in Manila from Ajmer?
8–11 working days door-to-door is what we quote. Ajmer adds a day over Jaipur because the air-feeder leg routes via Jaipur or directly to Mumbai/Delhi gateway; from there, Manila involves connecting flights through Singapore or Hong Kong. Cebu and Davao add 1–2 days. We don't pad the estimate; the geography just adds time.
I'm shipping a Mayo-alumni care kit to a Manila-based classmate — anything to know?
Standard care-kit lane. Books, sealed dry snacks (factory-sealed, declared on invoice), festival clothing, school memorabilia all clear cleanly when declared honestly. Express runs 8–11 days into Manila. Add the recipient's Manila phone and TIN if available — clearance is faster. We've shipped these around Mayo Old-Boys reunions and they're routine.
