International courier from Jodhpur to Canada. Free home pickup.
Pickup from your Jodhpur door — Blue City, the handicraft and antique-furniture export quarters around Sardarpura, Sojati Gate or Boranada — packed and documented, into the DTDC International network. 7–10 working days door-to-door for express; from ₹1,500 per kilogram before fuel surcharge and GST.
Five steps from your Jodhpur door to a Canadian address.
Pickup, Jodhpur.
Free at 5 kg+ across Jodhpur — Sardarpura, Sojati Gate, Ratanada, Paota, Boranada handicraft estate, Mandore. We bring tape, bubble wrap and the international airway bill.
Pack & document.
Commercial invoice, KYC, content declaration. Antique-furniture-replica B2B and leather batches need treatment-and-fumigation paperwork — CFIA expects it. Done at our office before handover.
DTDC handover.
Same evening into DTDC International. ~600 km road feeder to Delhi (DEL), then air to YYZ Toronto-Pearson, YVR Vancouver or YUL Montreal.
Canadian customs.
Clearance at the gateway. CBSA and CFIA flag plant and animal material aggressively — biosecurity is comparable to Australia. Wood-component and leather B2B clears reliably with ISPM-15 / treatment certificates. Paperwork-clean parcels typically clear within 24–72 hours.
Doorstep delivery.
Last-mile via Canada Post or the local courier partner. POD on WhatsApp the same day.
Starting rates. Real pricing depends on weight.

Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a sherwani set with a non-precious jewellery box, ~30 × 25 × 15 cm:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,500≈ ₹3,000
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹750
- + GST 18%≈ ₹675
- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,950
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. CFIA biosecurity is one of the strictest in the world — and Jodhpur’s antique-furniture-replica and leather exporters need treatment paperwork to clear. We’ll walk you through it before 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 — antique-furniture-replica, papier-mâché, leather batches, marble inlay — a printed commercial invoice with items, quantity and value. For gifts, a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated.
Treatment / fumigation papers
For wood-component handicraft, CFIA expects ISPM-15 evidence; for leather, treatment / tanning certificates from your manufacturer. We help arrange these before the parcel ships.
What Canada doesn’t let in.
These are real CBSA, CFIA and Health Canada rules — not our caution. CFIA biosecurity is comparable to Australia’s in strictness on plant and animal material. Even cannabis products that are legal in Canada are blocked in international transit. For Jodhpur senders specifically: untreated wood and bamboo handicraft and untreated leather get held — your manufacturer’s treatment certificate is the difference between clearance and seizure.

Asked most often.
Why does CFIA flag wooden picture frames and bamboo handicrafts?
It’s biosecurity — the same logic that drives Australia’s strictness. Untreated wood and bamboo can carry insect larvae, fungi and plant pathogens that aren’t native to Canadian forests. CFIA seizes wooden frames, carved boxes, bamboo decor and even agarbatti sticks. Solution for Jodhpur senders: ship treated wood with ISPM-15 / fumigation paperwork from your Boranada-handicraft-estate manufacturer; that clears reliably. Alternatively, send papier-mâché, brass, textiles and printed-cotton handicrafts — they clear without certificates.
Should I ship in winter — Nov to Mar — and what survives the cold?
You can ship year-round. The thing to know about winter transit (Nov–Mar) is that anything battery-powered or electronic spends time below zero in cargo holds and on Canada Post trucks; lithium devices generally survive but lose performance. Liquids freeze and burst — but you can’t ship liquid pickle or oil-based items anyway, so this rarely matters. Textiles, books, dry handicrafts and documents are unaffected. Wedding and Diwali parcels in winter are completely fine.
Pre-wedding shipment to Brampton — what should be in the parcel and what shouldn’t?
Marwari and Punjabi-Canadian wedding shipments to the GTA (Brampton, Mississauga, Surrey) typically contain: sherwanis, lehengas, dupattas, juttis, non-precious jewellery boxes, and small Indian decor pieces. What shouldn’t go in — any food (sweets, dry fruits, namkeen — CFIA blocks dairy and selectively raw spices), any wooden or bamboo decoration without paperwork, any leather without certification, fresh flowers or rose petals. We’ve handled many of these consignments; the wedding-day-safe packing list is well-tested.
