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. Sanctions-routing means transit is longer than pre-2022; we won't pretend otherwise.
Starting per-kg rates
- Express (8–12 days, door)from ₹1,400 / kg
- Economy (12–18 days, door)from ₹1,050 / 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 (mechanical-only, sanctions-clear) for a Russian auto-supply contact:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,400≈ ₹2,800
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹700
- + GST 18%≈ ₹630
- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,650
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Russia’s post-2022 customs regime is documentation-precise. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so the parcel doesn’t stall at Sheremetyevo.
KYC PLUS sender declaration
Photo ID for the AWB sender (Aadhaar, passport or driving licence), plus a sender declaration form confirming no dual-use or sanctioned items. We photograph at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Commercial invoice (item-level)
Russian Customs (ФТС) wants line-by-line item descriptions, prices and HS codes for B2B. Vague invoices get held. Bhiwadi auto-component B2B is fine if invoice describes mechanical-only items honestly.
Recipient INN / SNILS / passport
Russian recipients need to provide their INN (tax ID) or SNILS, or passport copy for personal parcels. For Roszdravnadzor medicines, prescription with doctor’s registration number.
What Russia doesn’t let in.
Russia’s import landscape changed sharply after 2022 Western sanctions. These are real Russian Customs (ФТС) and partner-network rules — items shipped against them are seized, and sender may face documentation review. We’d rather you know upfront.
Don’t even try
- Electronics with US-export-controlled chips — laptops, smartphones, semiconductor-bearing devices on Western sanctions lists are blocked at customs.
- Encryption-enabled hardware above threshold — certain crypto-grade devices need FSB licensing; our partner network won’t carry them.
- Auto-component samples with controlled-electronics content — many Russia-bound auto-supply Indian B2B has been re-routed through 3rd-country trans-shipment; ship only mechanical-only Bhiwadi samples on this lane.
- Recreational drugs, weapons, replicas — universal hard-no, severe penalty.
- Anti-government media, LGBTQ+ promotional materials — Russia’s ‘anti-propaganda’ law applies; even Pride-flag-bearing Western-published items can be flagged.
- Liquids and aerosols of any kind — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Mechanical-only auto-component samples — gaskets, brackets, springs, mechanical-only fasteners. No control-electronics content. Declare HS codes and fair value.
- Textiles, sarees, lehengas — declare a fair value. NCR-IT family parcels and Marwari trader shipments clear cleanly.
- Books, printed material (non-political) — any non-political topic is fine. Russian-translated Indian Ayurveda and classical-music materials welcomed.
- Sealed dry sweets — dry mithai in factory packs, declare ingredients and value. Wet sweets / dairy-heavy items are riskier.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor’s registration number, recipient INN. No injectables, no controlled substances, no liquids.
- Non-precious jewellery, papier-mâché, small electronics — declare make and value. Avoid devices with sanctions-controlled features.
Bhiwadi mechanical-only B2B, NCR-IT family parcels, weddings.
Bhiwadi auto-component B2B (sanctions-aware)
Bhiwadi is one of NCR’s biggest auto-supplier clusters. Russia-bound auto-supply has been disrupted by sanctions — many Indian B2B sample-flows now route through 3rd-country trans-shipment hubs (UAE, Turkey, Kazakhstan). On direct courier we carry only mechanical-only samples — gaskets, brackets, springs, mechanical-only fasteners. Anything with control-electronics content gets flagged, so we declare contents honestly at pickup.
NCR-IT family parcels to Indian-Russian families
Alwar is NCR-spillover (~150 km Delhi) and a steady stream of NCR-IT families have Russian-resident relatives — predominantly engineering-track diaspora in Moscow and St Petersburg. Sarees, dry sweets, kids’ festival outfits. Ship to apartment-block addresses; recipient INN required.
Wedding outfits
Sherwanis, lehengas, dupattas to Indian-Russian weddings in Moscow and St Petersburg. Always express; ship 2–3 weeks ahead given longer sanctions-routing transit.
Diwali parcels (sealed only)
Small Indian diaspora in Moscow celebrates Diwali; volumes spike Oct-Nov. Diyas, decorations, pooja items, sealed dry sweets, kids’ outfits. Ship early — sanctions-routing transit means a late-October booking lands awkwardly close to the festival.
Returning-traveller baggage from Russian tourists
Russian-tourist flow to India has long history (Goa, Rajasthan, Pushkar). Tourists who shopped too much in Alwar or Sariska ship the overflow home — picked up from the hotel, packed (no sanctioned-electronics), shipped before they fly out.
Personal documents
Passports, originals, signed papers between Indian-Russian-resident families. Always express; tracked international document is faster and safer than registered post.
B2B handicraft samples
Block-print fabric, papier-mâché, brassware to Moscow Indian-restaurant decor buyers. Declare make, value, HS codes. Cultural-exchange shipments are routine.
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. Sanctions-routing means longer transit; we’ll keep you informed if customs holds longer than 4 days.
Asked most often.
I’m a Bhiwadi auto-component supplier — can I send samples to a Russian buyer directly?
Mechanical-only samples — gaskets, brackets, springs, mechanical fasteners — yes, with HS-coded commercial invoice and KYC. Anything with control-electronics content runs into Western sanctions and our partner network won’t carry it. Many Russia-bound Indian auto-supply B2B flows now route through 3rd-country trans-shipment (UAE, Turkey, Kazakhstan) — for those we can hand off to a re-export partner rather than ship direct. Talk to us about specific items at booking.
Why is Alwar → Russia faster than the Kota lane?
Alwar is NCR-spillover (~150 km Delhi) — same-evening road feeder to Delhi airport gets the parcel onto the partner-network sanctions-aware route by next morning. Kota has no commercial cargo airport and feeders to Jaipur (~250 km, ~5 hours) instead, adding about half a day. Alwar express transit is a realistic 8–12 working days; Kota is 9–13.
What can’t I ship to Russia because of Western sanctions?
Mainly: electronics with US-export-controlled chips, encryption-enabled hardware above threshold, auto-components with controlled-electronics content, and certain medical equipment on sanctions lists. Mechanical-only auto-samples, textiles, books, sealed dry sweets, jewellery, prescription tablets — all fine. Our DTDC International team flags at pickup if anything in your declaration is sanctions-sensitive; we won’t carry items that will be seized.
