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. Nepal is the cheapest international lane out of Alwar — proximity, NCR-spillover Delhi-feeder fast initial leg, and SAFTA preferential trade do all the work.

Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a Bhiwadi industrial-component sample plus a sealed mithai box for a Marwari trader in Kathmandu:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹500≈ ₹1,000
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹250
- + GST 18%≈ ₹225
- Approx total, express≈ ₹1,650
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 so it doesn’t. Indo-Nepal customs is generally efficient — most parcels clear cleanly with the standard set.
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 (Bhiwadi industrial-component samples, fabric, restaurant supplies), printed invoice listing items, quantity and value. For gifts, a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated. Recipient’s Nepal Citizenship Card or passport number helps clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
For tablets going to a family member: a copy of the prescription with the doctor’s registration number. Nepal’s DDA flags injectables and controlled substances; sealed-strip oral medication in prescribed quantities is fine.
What Nepal doesn’t let in.
Despite the open border and shared culture, Nepal Customs (Department of Customs) enforces a clear list. Items shipped against it are seized at Tribhuvan, with disposal fees billed to the consignee.
Don’t even try
- Weapons and replicas — including decorative khukuri and edged souvenirs. Nepal is strict despite the cultural tradition; courier is a zero-tolerance channel.
- Drugs and narcotics — including unprescribed pharmaceuticals.
- Aerosols and pressurised liquids — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
- Counterfeit goods — branded fakes are seized; fines apply.
- Maoist-glorifying or extremist religious media — post-conflict and inter-faith sensitivities; flagged at customs.
Allowed with care
- Bhiwadi industrial-component samples — auto-component / mechanical / textile-machinery samples. Declare HS codes; SAFTA preferential trade means low overhead.
- Textiles and sarees — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, wedding outfits. Declare a fair value.
- Books, in any language — Nepali and Hindi translations are welcomed; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets and namkeen — Indian mithai is genuinely appreciated, especially at Tihar/Diwali. Declare ingredients; keep packaging factory-sealed.
- Prescription tablets — small quantities, sealed strips, prescription attached.
- Non-precious jewellery and small electronics — declare make, model, value.
- Hindu religious materials — Nepal is a Hindu-majority state; idols, prayer items and pooja kits are culturally resonant and clear without issue.
Bhiwadi industrial B2B, NCR-IT family parcels, Tihar.
Bhiwadi industrial-component B2B to Nepalese auto-supply
Bhiwadi is one of NCR’s biggest industrial clusters. Nepalese auto-supply chain is small but real — auto-component-supplier B2B to assembly / replacement-parts trade. Nepali Marwari traders also re-export to NE-India and Bhutan via Kathmandu. Mechanical samples, textile-machinery components. Declare HS codes; SAFTA keeps overhead light.
NCR-IT family parcels to Indian-Nepali families
Alwar is NCR-spillover (~150 km Delhi). NCR-IT families and traditional Marwari families have Kathmandu / Pokhara / Biratnagar relatives. Sarees, sealed sweets, kitchenware, books.
Wedding outfits
Cross-border weddings are common; Nepali-Hindu ceremonies often pull in Marwari traditions. Sherwanis, lehengas, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious).
Diwali / Tihar parcels
Nepal officially celebrates Tihar in the same Oct-Nov window as Diwali in India. Diyas, decorations, sealed dry sweets, pooja items. Ship by mid-October to land in time.
B2B handicraft to Kathmandu wholesale
New Road, Asan and Indra Chowk wholesale markets are heavy with Marwari-origin trader families — historic Marwari-Nepali merchant trade. Block-print textiles, papier-mâché, brassware. Commercial invoice + KYC + Nepal customs paperwork.
Returning-traveller baggage
Nepali tourists who shopped too much in India for ancestral pilgrimage or family visits. Picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly out.
Hindu religious materials
Pashupatinath and Lumbini connections drive a steady flow of pooja items, idols and devotional books between India and Nepal.

Asked most often.
Why is Nepal the cheapest international lane from Alwar?
Two reasons. First, geography — Alwar is NCR-spillover (~150 km Delhi) and Kathmandu is a short hop from Delhi airport, with surface trans-shipment via Gorakhpur–Sunauli also viable for economy. Second, the India–Nepal SAFTA preferential trade arrangement keeps tariff and documentation overhead low. The result is express rates from around ₹500/kg, well below any other international destination.
I’m a Bhiwadi industrial supplier — what’s the B2B routine to Nepalese buyers?
Standard commercial export with SAFTA preferential treatment. Clean commercial invoice with HS codes, KYC, recipient PAN/business registration. Nepal’s SAFTA-route documentation is lighter than other lanes — Tribhuvan customs typically clears component samples in 24–48 hours. Some Nepali Marwari traders use Kathmandu as a re-export hub for NE-India and Bhutan; talk to us about consignment patterns at booking.
When should I send Tihar / Diwali parcels?
Tihar in Nepal falls in the same Oct–Nov window as Diwali in India, and the volume on this lane spikes hard in that period. Ship express by the second week of October to be safe; economy needs to leave by the last week of September. Late shipments still go through, but customs queues lengthen and the last-mile in Kathmandu gets congested in the festival week itself.
