- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,300≈ ₹2,600
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹650
- + GST 18%≈ ₹585
- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,300
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
French customs (Douanes Françaises) is generally efficient on EU TARIC paperwork. Get the invoice and identifiers right at pickup and the parcel moves through CDG without fuss.
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, a printed invoice with item, HS code, quantity and value. Recipient SIRET for B2B is required; French Numéro Fiscal for personal recipient eases clearance. For gifts, a written declaration with stated value.
Prescription (medicines)
Sealed tablets only, with a copy of the doctor’s prescription and registration number. ANSM rules apply — no controlled substances, no liquid medicines, no injectables.
What France doesn’t let in.
These are real Douanes and EU TARIC rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, and the consignee usually pays a disposal fee.
Don’t even try
- Counterfeit luxury goods — France is HQ to LVMH, Hermès, Chanel; anti-counterfeit cooperation is the strictest in the EU. Even ‘inspired-by’ items get flagged.
- Drug paraphernalia — pipes, scales, grow-kits and similar items are blocked.
- CBD or cannabis products with THC — French law on cannabinoids is restrictive; assume blocked.
- Weapons and edged-decorative items — banned-weapon list catches ornamental swords, kirpans and decorative knives.
- Live or unprocessed agricultural produce — France enforces EU phytosanitary controls. Bharatpur’s farming household sometimes wants to send seeds or fresh produce — they don’t clear; ship sealed processed alternatives instead.
- Ivory and animal products — CITES plus France’s additional protections.
- Aerosols, perfumes, lithium >100 Wh — universal courier restriction.
- Items with Nazi iconography — French law (Loi Gayssot); even foreign-published memorabilia is blocked.
Allowed with care
- Textiles and outfits — block-print, silk, lehengas. France’s fashion-import-friendly customs handles non-counterfeit textiles cleanly.
- Books and printed material — any topic; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets — declare allergens; gluten and nut callouts especially.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, EU Rx-equivalent.
- Non-precious jewellery — declare clearly to differentiate from precious.
- Birdwatching gear and field-guide books — French birdwatchers visiting Keoladeo often pack heavy; clearance is routine when declared as personal optical equipment.
Family parcels, wedding outfits, returning-traveller baggage.
Agricultural-Jat-Sikh family parcels
Bharatpur is a Jat-region agricultural district, and parcels go to the small Sikh-Punjabi community in France — Paris and Lyon mostly. Books, festival clothes, sealed dry sweets, kitchen tools and family documents move both ways.
Wedding outfits
Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas to relatives in France. Always express.
Diwali parcels
Sealed sweets, decorations, diyas, pooja items shipped before mid-October to land in time.
Returning-traveller baggage — Keoladeo birdwatchers
Keoladeo National Park (UNESCO) draws a steady flow of French birdwatchers in the winter season. Many pick up too much locally — books, textiles, handicrafts — and have us collect from the hotel and ship to a Paris or Marseille address before they fly out.
Field-guide books and birding photo prints
After visits to Keoladeo, French naturalists ship field-guide books, identification cards and photo prints back home. Standard EU printed-matter rules; declare title and value.
Student care kits
Books, sealed dry snacks, kitchen tools to Indian students at Sciences Po, École Polytechnique, INSEAD and Sorbonne.
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.
Why does Bharatpur → France match Delhi → France on transit time?
Bharatpur is only about 180 km from Delhi — a fast road feeder that does not add a full day to transit. The parcel rides road to the DTDC International facility at Delhi the same evening as pickup, joins the air uplift the next day, and the rest of the lane behaves like a Delhi-origin shipment. We quote 5–7 working days express, same as Delhi.
French birdwatcher returning from Keoladeo with too much luggage — how does pickup-from-hotel work?
Routine. We get a WhatsApp message with the hotel name and room number, the rough weight and the destination address in France. Someone from our team comes to the hotel, packs the items in front of the traveller, photographs the contents and the airway bill, and books it the same day. Field guides, photo prints, textiles and handicrafts are the typical contents; declared value is whatever the traveller paid. AWB goes to their WhatsApp; tracking and POD follow.
Sikh-Punjabi-French families in Paris — is the diaspora connection from Bharatpur real?
Modest but real. The France Sikh-Punjabi community is small compared to the UK or Canada, but present — Paris and Lyon mostly. Bharatpur’s Jat-Sikh agricultural households sometimes have second-generation relatives in France who came via Punjab and France-resident extended family. Documents and family-gift parcels move on this lane regularly. Standard French customs paperwork — invoice, KYC, recipient’s Numéro Fiscal — covers it.
