International courier from Jaipur to the United Kingdom. Free home pickup.
Pickup from your Jaipur door — Pink City, C-Scheme, Johari Bazaar gem-trade quarter, Sanganer block-print belt — packed and documented, into the DTDC International network. 5–7 working days door-to-door for express; from ₹1,300 per kilogram before fuel surcharge and GST.
Five steps from your Jaipur door to a UK address.
Pickup, Jaipur.
Free at 5 kg+ across Jaipur — Johari Bazaar, C-Scheme, Malviya Nagar, Mansarovar, Sanganer, Bagru. We bring tape, bubble wrap and the international airway bill.
Pack & document.
Commercial invoice, KYC, content declaration. Block-print B2B and gem-trade non-precious sample lots get HS-coded carefully — UK Border Force scrutinises Jaipur consignments. Done at our office before handover.
DTDC handover.
Same evening into the DTDC International facility; ~280 km road feeder to Delhi (DEL), then air movement to LHR Heathrow or LGW Gatwick. Delhi-feeder is the fastest leg for Jaipur → UK.
UK customs (HMRC).
Clearance at the London gateway. Post-Brexit, B2B parcels are scrutinised more carefully — declared value, ingredient lists and EORI matter. Paperwork-clean parcels typically clear within 24–48 hours.
Doorstep delivery.
Last-mile via Royal Mail or the partner courier. POD on WhatsApp the same day.

- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,300≈ ₹2,600
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹650

- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,300
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. Post-Brexit, the UK flags B2B value declarations carefully — and Jaipur’s gem-trade and block-print exporters get extra scrutiny. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so nothing stalls.
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 — block-print bulk, non-precious gem samples, jewellery sample boxes — a printed commercial invoice listing items, 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. For Jaipur senders specifically: precious stones (diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire) and high-value gold/silver jewellery DO NOT travel on courier — Hatton Garden trade routes use insured cargo or carrier hand-carry. Items shipped against the rules are seized and may incur a destruction charge.
Don’t even try
- Precious stones (diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire) and gold/silver jewellery — courier networks won’t carry to Hatton Garden or any UK destination; use insured cargo or carrier hand-carry.
- 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
- Block-print and Sanganer/Bagru textiles — cotton clothing, dohars, cushion covers. Declare a fair value.
- Non-precious gem samples and synthetic stones — declare each item with description, weight and value; UK Border Force routinely opens jewellery parcels for inspection.
- Kundan, Meenakari, Polki decorative pieces (non-precious) — declare make, technique, value.
- Books and printed material — straightforward.
- Sealed dry biscuits and namkeen — only with full ingredient list and commercial packaging. Still scrutinised by FSA.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strips, prescription attached. No controlled substances.
- Sarees, wedding outfits, papier-mâché items — clean fabric only, declare value.
Hatton Garden samples, B2B textile, weddings.
Gem-trade non-precious sample shipments
From Johari Bazaar dealers to Hatton Garden (London diamond/jewellery district) buyers — synthetic stones, glass samples, non-precious sample-grade stones. Always with KYC and commercial invoice. Loose precious stones go via insured cargo, never courier.
Block-print textile B2B
Sanganer and Bagru hand-block printed cotton, cushion covers, dohars — shipped to Liberty London, Selfridges importers, small Notting Hill / Chelsea boutique buyers. Commercial invoice and EORI handled at pickup.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, non-precious Kundan and Meenakari sets. Shipped to British-Indian wedding hubs in Leicester, Birmingham, Slough and Wembley.
Student care packages
Books, kitchen kit, festival clothing. Shipped to LSE, Imperial, Cambridge, Oxford, UCL, Manchester, Edinburgh — UK universities with strong Jaipur-Royals-school and business-family alumni networks.
Diwali parcels (non-food)
Diyas, decorations, pooja items. No agarbatti, no flowers, no food. Recommend express to land before the festival.
Personal documents
Passport originals, transcripts, signed contracts, certified copies. Always express — tracked international document is faster and safer than registered post.
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.
Can I ship loose precious stones from Johari Bazaar to Hatton Garden?
No — courier is the wrong channel. Hatton Garden’s working trade routes from Jaipur use insured cargo agents (Brinks, Malca-Amit) or licensed carrier hand-carry through Heathrow customs with proper paperwork. We DO ship from Johari Bazaar to UK regularly — but only synthetic-stone sample lots, glass-sample shipments, non-precious sample stones and Kundan / Meenakari decorative pieces (non-precious metal). All require KYC and a full commercial invoice.
What changed for B2B parcels post-Brexit?
Two things. First, UK customs no longer treats EU-origin paperwork as inland — every consignment from India needs its own commercial invoice with HS codes and a clear value declaration. 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 personal gifts under the gift threshold, the process is simpler — but value still must be declared honestly. We handle the paperwork end-to-end at pickup.
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, block-print clothing, pooja items, and small gifts. They land safely; food parcels often don’t.
