- 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.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so it doesn’t. Bhilwara textile-suiting samples are a clean MAFF category — fabric is non-organic and clears smoothly.
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 mill-to-buyer suiting samples, a printed invoice listing fabric type (polyester / blended), GSM, metres / pieces, and value per piece. The recipient’s residence card (Zairyu Card) number speeds clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
For tablets going to a student or family member: a copy of the prescription with the doctor’s registration number. MHLW reviews medicines; sealed strips, name matching the recipient’s Zairyu Card. No injectables, no liquid medicines.
What Japan doesn’t let in.
Japan Customs (Zeikan) is efficient but strict. Plant and animal quarantine (MAFF) is among the toughest in the world. These are real Japanese rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, destroyed, and may incur a disposal fee billed to the consignee.
Don’t even try
- Meat & meat products — extremely strict. Even sealed dry meat snacks and jerky are routinely rejected at MAFF inspection.
- Dairy products — fresh paneer, ghee, khoya-mithai, raw milk products. Some packaged exemptions exist; assume seized.
- Fresh fruit, vegetables, seeds, plants — MAFF is uncompromising. Even decorative dried flowers and untreated wooden items get flagged.
- Live animals, insects, biological samples — quarantine clearance required.
- Narcotic-precursor chemicals & certain cosmetics — some ingredients banned under Japanese pharmaceutical law.
- Liquids and aerosols of any kind — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Polyester / blended-suiting fabric, sarees, lehengas, sherwanis — Bhilwara’s core export. Non-organic textile, MAFF-clean. Declare GSM, fibre content, fair value.
- Books and printed material — any language including Japanese-translated Indian materials. Declare title and value.
- Sealed dry vegetarian sweets — declare every ingredient. Milk-based mithai may be flagged; choose besan ladoo / dry-fruit barfi over kalakand.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, name matching the Zairyu Card. No injectables.
- Non-precious jewellery, small electronics — declare make, model, value.
- Papier-mâché, traditional Indian musical instruments — declare honestly with item-level values.
Textile-suiting B2B, Marwari documents, family gifts.
Bhilwara textile-suiting B2B samples
Japanese fashion-houses sometimes source Bhilwara polyester / blended-suiting for fast-fashion supply chains. Sample lots from RSWM/LNJ Bhilwara, Sangam, Banswara Syntex, Nitin Spinners to Tokyo fashion-importers. Non-organic textile is MAFF-clean and clears smoothly — MAFF-strict only kicks in on non-textile items like wood, leather, food. Recurring B2B with HS-coded commercial invoice.
Marwari business documents
Signed contracts, LCs, sample-dispatch papers between Bhilwara mills and Tokyo Indian-association hubs. Always express; a tracked international document beats registered post.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas shipped ahead of Indian-Japanese weddings to Bhilwara-Marwari families resident in Japan. Non-precious jewellery boxes go in the same parcel.
Diwali parcels (vegetarian, MAFF-strict)
Diyas, decorations, sealed dry mithai. No agarbatti made of untreated bamboo, no fresh ghee, no flowers. Express in to land before the festival.
Returning-traveller baggage
Japanese textile-buyers who visited Bhilwara mandi and ran out of suitcase room. Picked from the hotel, packed without organic material, shipped before they fly.
Student care kits
University of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Tohoku — small but growing Indian-student community. Books, sealed dry snacks, kitchen tools, festival clothing.
Personal documents
Employment papers, passports, signed contracts for Bhilwara-rooted families in Japan. Always express.
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.
How does Bhilwara → Japan compare with Udaipur direct?
Add about a day for the Udaipur feeder — Bhilwara has no airport, so we road-move 165 km to Udaipur same-day, then DTDC International runs the Mumbai/Delhi-Tokyo air leg. Express lands in 7–9 working days door-to-door versus 6–9 for Udaipur direct. Pricing is the same — pickup from Bhilwara is bundled.
I’m a Bhilwara mill sending suiting samples to a Japanese fast-fashion buyer — is MAFF a problem?
No. MAFF (Japan’s plant/animal quarantine) is strict on organic items — wood, leather, food, untreated fibres. Polyester and blended suiting is non-organic synthetic textile and clears MAFF cleanly. We document fabric type, GSM, fibre content, metres-per-piece and value per piece on the commercial invoice; Tokyo customs typically clears in 24–48 hours.
Can I ship Diwali mithai to my family in Tokyo?
Vegetarian, sealed, no fresh dairy. Besan ladoo, dry-fruit barfi, kaju katli from a factory pack will usually clear; ghee-laden kalakand or fresh paneer-based sweets get flagged. Declare every ingredient on the invoice. Express in early; Diwali parcels arriving on the day are tight if customs picks the parcel for inspection.
