What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. Post-Brexit, the UK flags B2B value declarations carefully — and Bhilwara’s big lane is exactly that: suiting-fabric samples to UK fashion-importers. We handle EORI, HS codes and value declarations end-to-end at pickup.
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 B2B parcels — UK fashion-importers source Bhilwara blended-suiting through Marks & Spencer / Next-vendor channels — a printed invoice listing items, fabric composition, quantity and value. Senders shipping commercially also need a UK EORI number on the recipient side. For personal gifts, a written declaration suffices.
Prescription (medicines)
Prescription copy with doctor’s registration. No codeine or Schedule-3 controlled substances, no liquids, no injectables. Sealed strips only.
What the United Kingdom doesn’t let in.
These are real UK Border Force, HMRC and FSA rules — not our caution. The UK is particularly strict on CITES (endangered-species materials) and animal-product handicrafts. Items shipped against the rules are seized and may incur a destruction charge.
Don’t even try
- Dairy — paneer, ghee, khoya-mithai. Only commercially-sealed UHT products have a narrow allowance, and even those are scrutinised.
- Meat and poultry products — including dried and sealed.
- Fresh fruit, vegetables, seeds, dried plants — UK biosecurity rules.
- Hemp and CBD products — UK MHRA classifies most as restricted.
- Ivory, animal-bone handicrafts, peacock feathers — CITES is enforced absolutely.
- Counterfeit branded goods — UK Border Force seizes routinely.
- Aerosols, lithium batteries above 100 Wh, all liquids — universal courier rules.
Allowed with care
- Bhilwara suiting and shirting samples — polyester / wool blends from RSWM, Sangam, Banswara Syntex, Nitin Spinners. Declare composition; HMRC reviews fabric value carefully.
- Textiles and handicrafts — block-print fabric, cotton clothing, papier-mâché. Declare a fair value.
- Books and printed material — straightforward.
- Sealed dry biscuits and namkeen — only with full ingredient list and commercial packaging. Still scrutinised by FSA.
- Non-precious jewellery and small electronics — declare make, model, value.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strips, prescription attached. No controlled substances.
- Sarees, wedding outfits, papier-mâché items — clean fabric only, declare value.
Suiting B2B, Marwari business, weddings.
Bhilwara textile-suiting B2B samples

Asked most often.
I'm a Bhilwara mill supplying a UK fashion-importer — how do post-Brexit rules affect my B2B sample shipments?
Two things changed. First, every consignment from India needs its own commercial invoice with HS codes and an honest value declaration — the UK no longer treats EU-origin paperwork as inland. Second, anyone shipping commercially to a UK business now generally needs a UK EORI number on the recipient side; without it the parcel can stall at HMRC for days. For Bhilwara suiting samples — RSWM, Sangam, Banswara Syntex, Nitin Spinners — we list fabric composition (polyester/wool blend %), declare a fair sample value, and confirm the importer's EORI before pickup. The lane runs cleanly when paperwork is right.
Can I send Diwali sweets to my family in Leicester or Birmingham?
Mostly, no. UK FSA rules treat ghee-, milk- and khoya-based mithai (kaju katli, peda, barfi) as dairy — not allowed. Commercially-sealed dry biscuits and namkeen with a full printed ingredient list have a narrow allowance, and even those are sometimes opened by Border Force. For Diwali we recommend non-food parcels: diyas, decorations, clothing, pooja items, and small gifts. They land safely; food parcels often don't.
Bhilwara has no airport — does the Udaipur feeder slow things down vs a direct Udaipur shipment?
By about one working day. Bhilwara → Udaipur airport-feeder is ~165 km surface; we run the trunk same evening so the parcel hits Udaipur airport-side overnight and flies the next morning. Total transit Bhilwara → UK is 5–7 working days for express, vs 5–7 from Udaipur — typically one day longer end-to-end. We also use Jaipur (~250 km) as an alternate when flight availability is better there.
