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. Nepal is the cheapest international lane out of Jodhpur — proximity and SAFTA preferential trade do most of the work.
Starting per-kg rates
- Express (5–7 days, door)from ₹500 / kg
- Economy (7–11 days, door)from ₹350 / 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 sealed box of dry mithai and a small Tihar/Diwali decoration set:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹500≈ ₹1,000
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹250
- + GST 18%≈ ₹225
- Approx total, express≈ ₹1,650
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change. Furniture-replica B2B usually goes by surface trans-shipment economy on volumetric weight — quote separately.
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. Indo-Nepal customs is generally efficient — most parcels clear cleanly with the standard set.
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 commercial goods, a printed invoice listing items, quantity and value. For gifts, a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated. Recipient’s Nepal Citizenship Card or passport number helps clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
For tablets going to a family member: a copy of the prescription with the doctor’s registration number. Nepal’s DDA flags injectables and controlled substances; sealed-strip oral medication in prescribed quantities is fine.
What Nepal doesn’t let in.
Despite the open border and shared culture, Nepal Customs (Department of Customs) enforces a clear list. Items shipped against it are seized at Tribhuvan, with disposal fees billed to the consignee.
Don’t even try
- Weapons and replicas — including decorative khukuri and edged souvenirs. Nepal is strict despite the cultural tradition; courier is a zero-tolerance channel.
- Drugs and narcotics — including unprescribed pharmaceuticals.
- Aerosols and pressurised liquids — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
- Counterfeit goods — branded fakes are seized; fines apply.
- Maoist-glorifying or extremist religious media — post-conflict and inter-faith sensitivities; flagged at customs.
Allowed with care
- Textiles and Jodhpur handicraft — bandhej and tie-dye fabric, cotton clothing. Declare a fair value.
- Books, in any language — Nepali and Hindi translations are welcomed; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets and namkeen — Indian mithai is genuinely appreciated, especially at Tihar/Diwali. Declare ingredients; keep packaging factory-sealed.
- Prescription tablets — small quantities, sealed strips, prescription attached.
- Antique-furniture-replica samples — Jodhpur sheesham and reclaimed-wood lookbooks, small samples and finish swatches; for full furniture loads, ship by surface freight under separate booking.
- Leather goods — Jodhpur-export-grade leather; declare make and treatment.
- Decorative arts and brassware — Hindu-religious decoratives clear easily in Hindu-majority Nepal.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B, handicraft, festival shipments.
Antique-furniture-replica samples to Kathmandu / Pokhara

Asked most often.
Why is Nepal the cheapest international lane from Jodhpur?
Two reasons. First, geography — Kathmandu is reachable via Delhi air, with surface trans-shipment via Gorakhpur–Sunauli also viable for economy. Second, the India–Nepal SAFTA preferential trade arrangement keeps tariff and documentation overhead low. The result is express rates from around ₹500/kg, well below any other international destination.
We export antique-furniture replicas from Salawas / Boranada — can you handle the Kathmandu B2B routine?
Yes for samples, lookbooks, hardware sets and small accent pieces — that travels as standard parcel courier with a clean commercial invoice (item, quantity, value), KYC, and the Kathmandu interior-designer or wholesaler’s registration. Full-container or part-load furniture shipments don’t belong on a courier — they go by surface freight under a separate booking and we can route that for you too.
When should I send Tihar / Diwali parcels?
Tihar in Nepal falls in the same Oct–Nov window as Diwali, and the volume on this lane spikes hard in that period. Ship express by the second week of October to be safe; economy needs to leave by the last week of September. Late shipments still go through, but customs queues lengthen and the last-mile in Kathmandu gets congested in the festival week itself.
