International courier from Bharatpur to Australia. Free home pickup.

Keoladeo is one of Asia’s top birding sites and we see a steady stream of Australian visitors shipping souvenirs home. What works: photographs, prints, hand-painted bird-art on cotton, India-bird-guide books, block-print scarves, brass figurines. What absolutely doesn’t work: feathers (any kind, even shed ones found on a trail — DAFF biosecurity is unforgiving), pressed plants, dried flowers from any temple visit, food of any kind, wooden picture frames. We pack tourist baggage at our office, triple-check for any organic material, and route through Delhi same-day. Land in your Australian home in 7–10 working days.

Australia is an island ecosystem with biosecurity risks (insects, fungi, plant diseases) that don’t exist in most of the world. Australian Border Force and DAFF screen incoming parcels heavily; even sealed Indian sweets and untreated wooden frames are routinely destroyed. Don’t risk it — send textiles, books, jewellery and electronics instead.

You don’t — DTDC fills the airway bill and the commercial invoice from the details you give us. What you provide is a clear list of what’s inside, item-level values, and the recipient’s phone number for the Australian courier’s last-mile contact attempt. Under-declaring value to dodge duty is a bad idea: it’s the consignee who pays the seized-parcel disposal fee, not the sender.
