03 — Rate band, Jodhpur → China

Starting rates. Real pricing depends on weight.

Final price depends on actual or volumetric weight (whichever is greater) plus the international fuel surcharge in force on your booking date. GST is extra.

Starting per-kg rates

  • Express (8–13 days, door)from ₹1,300 / kg
  • Economy (13–19 days, door)from ₹950 / kg
  • Min billable weight0.5 kg
  • Pickup from JodhpurFree at 5 kg+

Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.

Worked example

A 2 kg parcel — say a small antique-replica decorative piece plus a leather sample, ~30 × 25 × 10 cm:

  • Volumetric1.5 kg (actual 2 kg billed)
  • 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. Large antique-replica furniture pieces ship via cargo, not courier.

04 — Customs & documentation

What you’ll need at pickup.

Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. China requires more detail than most lanes — HS codes are not optional. Antique-replica certification is a Jodhpur-specific extra.

KYC + sender declaration

One photo ID for the person on the AWB, plus a written sender declaration of contents.

Commercial invoice with HS codes + replica certificate

GACC requires HS classification on every line. For antique-style B2B parcels: clear ‘replica / new manufacture’ certification (genuine antiques over 100 years need ASI clearance — outside the courier route). Recipient’s Chinese ID number speeds clearance.

Prescription (medicines)

GACC compliance for medicines is strict. Sealed strips, doctor’s prescription with registration number, name matching the recipient’s ID. No injectables, no liquid medicines, no controlled substances.

05 — China-specific restrictions

What China doesn’t let in.

China customs (GACC) enforces a long list of category and political restrictions. These are real Chinese rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, destroyed, and serious cases can mean criminal liability for the consignee.

Don’t even try

  • Genuine antiques over 100 years — ASI clearance from India and Chinese cultural-import paperwork required; courier route is replicas only.
  • Politically sensitive materials — books, images, media critical of the CCP; Tiananmen, Falun Gong, Tibet/Taiwan/Xinjiang advocacy materials. Strictly enforced.
  • Encryption hardware, GPS modules, drones — PRC tech-import controls catch these even as hobbyist items.
  • Untreated wooden packaging — antique-replica items must use ISPM-15 heat-treated or kiln-dried timber.
  • Recreational drugs of any kind — severe penalty including the death penalty for trafficking-quantity.
  • Counterfeit branded goods — IP enforcement is taken seriously.
  • Liquids and aerosols of any kind — universal courier rule.
  • Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.

Allowed with care

  • Antique-replica decorative pieces — small / medium with replica certification; large furniture goes by sea-cargo.
  • Leather goods — Jodhpur leather mojaris, bags, jackets. Declare hide-source country.
  • Papier-mâché & decorative arts — declare honestly with item-level HS codes.
  • Textiles & sarees — Bandhej, block-print. Declare a fair value.
  • Sealed dry vegetarian sweets — factory-sealed only, every ingredient declared.
  • Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, GACC-compliant paperwork. No injectables.
06 — What goes Jodhpur → China

Antique-replica B2B, leather, decorative arts.

Antique-furniture-replica B2B (deceptive market)

Jodhpur antique-replicas and Chinese antique-replicas compete in the same global market — and some Chinese buyers prefer authentic Indian originals (clearly marked replica). Small / medium pieces ship by courier with replica certification; full furniture goes by sea-cargo. Painted chests, carved boxes, brass-fitted boxes are the recurring SKUs.

Handicraft samples to Yiwu

Yiwu wholesale market is India’s largest sourcing-destination for handicraft B2B — and Indian decorative arts also sell into the Yiwu Marwari-trader network. Commercial invoice with HS codes and item-level values.

Leather goods

Jodhpur leather — mojaris, bags, jackets — to Chinese specialty retailers and Yiwu wholesale buyers. Declare hide-source country.

Decorative arts to Yiwu wholesale

Painted papier-mâché, miniature paintings, mirror-work decorative panels to Yiwu Marwari traders for re-distribution. HS codes on every line.

Returning-traveller baggage

Chinese tourists post-Jodhpur visit. Picked up from the hotel, packed without organic material, ISPM-15 wood where needed.

Student care kits

Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan, Shanghai Jiao Tong — small Indian-student presence. Books, sealed dry snacks, kitchen tools, clothing.

Business documents

Contracts, agency agreements, replica-export paperwork. Always express.

07 — Tracking & proof of delivery

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.

08 — Three questions about China shipments

Asked most often.

Are Jodhpur antique-replicas competitive against Chinese antique-replicas?

Yes — and confusingly so. Both Jodhpur and Yiwu produce antique-style decorative pieces; some Chinese buyers (interior designers, set-dressers, hospitality buyers) want authentic Indian craftsmanship clearly marked as replica. The lane works. The customs side: invoice the parcel as ‘antique-replica, new manufacture’ with a year-of-make line — not as ‘antique’. GACC inspectors recognise the distinction. We help draft the line-item description.

Why does China customs sometimes hold parcels for 3–7 days?

GACC runs randomised inspections — they pull a percentage of incoming parcels to verify HS codes and contents against the declared invoice. If yours gets pulled, expect 3–7 days extra at the gateway. Nothing you can do to avoid it; the only way through is paperwork that matches the parcel exactly. Under-declaring value or vague item descriptions guarantee a slow inspection.

What absolutely should not go to China from Jodhpur?

Genuine antiques over 100 years (ASI clearance required, courier-route only takes replicas). Untreated wooden packaging — must be ISPM-15 heat-treated. Politically sensitive printed material. Encryption / GPS / drone hardware. Recreational drugs (severe penalty). Counterfeit branded leather. We screen at intake and won’t book parcels that contradict GACC — too risky for the consignee.
