03 — Rate band, Alwar → Philippines

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.

Starting per-kg rates

  • Express (8–11 days, door)from ₹1,100 / kg
  • Economy (11–16 days, door)from ₹850 / kg
  • Min billable weight0.5 kg
  • Pickup from AlwarFree at 5 kg+

Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.

Worked example

A 2 kg parcel — say a Bhiwadi auto-component sample for a Toyota Philippines-supplier B2B buyer:

  • 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.

04 — Customs & documentation

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.

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. The Bureau of Customs prefers the recipient’s TIN (Tax Identification Number) or SSS (Social Security) number on the AWB. For Bhiwadi B2B, include HS code and exporter IEC. Without TIN, 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.

05 — Philippines-specific restrictions

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 and what does.

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.
  • 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

  • Auto-component B2B samples — declare HS code, item-level description and per-piece value. Bhiwadi → Philippine-auto-supply lane is routine.
  • Textiles, sarees, block-print 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.
  • Christian iconography & papier-mâché — Philippines is Catholic-majority and Christian decorative items are welcomed inbound. Declare clearly.
06 — What goes Alwar → Philippines

Bhiwadi auto-component B2B, NCR-IT family parcels, fusion-wedding outfits.

Bhiwadi auto-component B2B to Philippine auto-supply

Bhiwadi is one of NCR’s largest auto-component industrial clusters — Honda, Hero, Daikin and Ashok-Leyland-supplier B2B. Component samples and supplier-onboarding documentation flow regularly to the Philippine auto-supply chain — Toyota Philippines / Mitsubishi Philippines suppliers. Commercial invoice with HS code, exporter IEC and recipient company TIN keeps these moving.

NCR-IT family parcels

Alwar is NCR-spillover — the IT/services workforce living in Alwar town with offices in Gurgaon and Noida ships family parcels to Philippines-resident relatives. Sarees, sealed dry snacks, festival clothing.

Wedding & festival outfits

Filipino-Indian weddings — often Filipino-Christian + Indian-Hindu fusion ceremonies — are increasingly common in Manila. Sarees, lehengas for the Indian side, plus mixed-tradition decor. Sent ahead of dates, express.

Diwali parcels (non-food + sealed sweets)

Diyas, decorations, pooja items, factory-sealed dry sweets. Send 2 weeks ahead.

Returning-traveller baggage

Filipino tourists visiting Sariska Tiger Reserve (Alwar gateway) or onward Rajasthan — picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly home.

Christian-iconography decor

Philippines is Catholic-majority — Christian iconography Indian-craft pieces (carved boxes, embroidered altar cloths, papier-mâché Nativity sets) are a real B2B market into Manila and Cebu.

07 — Tracking & proof of delivery

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.

08 — Three questions about Philippines shipments

Asked most often.

I’m a Bhiwadi auto-component supplier — Philippine B2B routine?

Bhiwadi has dozens of Tier-2 and Tier-3 auto-component suppliers shipping samples to Toyota Philippines / Mitsubishi Philippines suppliers as part of the regional auto-supply integration. Routine: commercial invoice with HS code (typically 8708.x.x for parts), per-piece value, exporter IEC, recipient company TIN and importer-of-record details. Pickup from Bhiwadi or Alwar town, Delhi feeder same evening, into Delhi-IGI DTDC International. Express runs 8–11 days into Manila — the Philippines lane is the longest of the major SE Asia lanes due to connection geography. Bureau of Customs clears clean documents quickly; missing TIN is the most common hold reason.

How fast does express actually land in Manila from Alwar?

8–11 working days door-to-door is what we quote, and it’s the longest of the major Southeast Asia lanes. The reason is connection geography — most flights route Delhi → Singapore or Hong Kong → Manila with one or two intermediary stops, plus Manila customs is slower than Singapore or Bangkok. The Delhi-feeder leg from Alwar/Bhiwadi is fast (~150 km) so origin doesn’t add transit time, but the Pacific air leg is long. Cebu and Davao add 1–2 days for last-mile.

Filipino-Indian fusion-wedding shipments — what works?

Filipino-Christian + Indian-Hindu fusion weddings are common in the Manila Indian-diaspora, especially the second-generation Punjabi and Sindhi families. What ships well: sarees, lehengas, sherwanis and dupattas for the Indian-tradition portion of the ceremony; non-figurative decor and floral arrangements; sealed dry sweets for sweet-distribution rituals. What doesn’t ship: anything liquid, perishable, or explicitly Hindu-figurative if the host family has flagged it as sensitive. Send 2–3 weeks ahead — express, with values declared honestly.
