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. Sanctions-routing means transit is longer than pre-2022; we won't pretend otherwise.
Starting per-kg rates
- Express (9–13 days, door)from ₹1,400 / kg
- Economy (13–19 days, door)from ₹1,050 / 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-furniture-replica brass-handle set and a Salawas dhurrie sample for a St Petersburg luxury-villa importer:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,400≈ ₹2,800
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹700
- + GST 18%≈ ₹630
- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,650
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change. Larger antique-furniture B2B consignments are quoted by volumetric weight — talk to us.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Russia’s post-2022 customs regime is documentation-precise. Antique-furniture replicas need extra paperwork — we’ll walk you through it before pickup.
KYC PLUS sender declaration
Photo ID for the AWB sender (Aadhaar, passport or driving licence), plus a sender declaration form confirming no dual-use or sanctioned items. We photograph at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Commercial invoice (item-level)
Russian Customs (ФТС) wants line-by-line item descriptions and prices. Antique-furniture replicas must be declared as ‘reproduction / new manufacture’ with HSN — not ‘antique’ — to avoid CITES/cultural-heritage scrutiny. Photographs and dimensions on the invoice for large items.
Recipient INN / SNILS / passport
Russian recipients need to provide their INN (tax ID) or SNILS, or passport copy for personal parcels. For Roszdravnadzor medicines, prescription with doctor’s registration number.
What Russia doesn’t let in.
Russia’s import landscape changed sharply after 2022 Western sanctions. These are real Russian Customs (ФТС) and partner-network rules — items shipped against them are seized, and sender may face documentation review.
Don’t even try
- Electronics with US-export-controlled chips — laptops, smartphones, semiconductor-bearing devices on Western sanctions lists are blocked at customs.
- Encryption-enabled hardware above threshold — certain crypto-grade devices need FSB licensing; our partner network won’t carry them.
- Recreational drugs, weapons, replicas — universal hard-no, severe penalty.
- Genuine antiques over 50 years old — Indian Antiquities Act forbids export; partner network won’t carry. Ship reproductions / new manufacture only, declared honestly.
- Anti-government media, LGBTQ+ promotional materials — Russia’s ‘anti-propaganda’ law applies; even Pride-flag-bearing Western-published items can be flagged. Be aware before sending.
- Certain medical equipment under sanctions — sanctioned-list medical devices won’t clear; tablets-with-prescription generally fine.
- Liquids and aerosols of any kind — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
Allowed with care
- Antique-furniture replicas, decorative arts, brass and wood handicraft — Jodhpur’s core export. Declare as new-manufacture reproduction with photographs and dimensions; Russian aesthetic appreciation for Indian craftsmanship runs deep among Moscow and St Petersburg luxury-villa importers.
- Leather goods, mojaris, decorative bags — declare make and value. Standard B2B clears cleanly.
- Textiles, dhurries, sarees, lehengas — declare a fair value. Russians appreciate Indian textile work; Salawas dhurrie samples are a small but recurring B2B category.
- Books, printed material (non-political) — any non-political topic is fine. Russian-translated Indian classical-music and Ayurveda materials are welcomed.
- Sealed dry sweets — dry mithai in factory packs, declare ingredients and value. Wet sweets / dairy-heavy items are riskier.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor’s registration number, recipient INN. No injectables, no controlled substances, no liquids.
- Indian-cultural materials — Sanskrit books, classical-music sheet, Ayurveda guides — all fine and historically welcomed.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B, handicraft, leather, decorative arts.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B to Moscow & St Petersburg luxury-villa imports
Jodhpur is India’s antique-furniture-replica capital — Salawas, Boranada and the Sardarpura corridor host hundreds of workshops feeding global decorator markets. Moscow and St Petersburg luxury-villa importers source carved doors, Rajput-style chests, brass-clad cabinets and reproduction-antique side tables. Russian aesthetic appreciation for Indian craftsmanship is strong; small samples ship by courier, larger consignments by air-cargo / freight (we’ll route appropriately).
Handicraft and decorative arts
Brass diyas (non-precious), papier-mâché, wood-carved trays, mirror-work cushions, marble inlay pieces. Long-standing Moscow-based wholesale demand. Commercial invoice with HSN, sender KYC, recipient INN.
Leather goods, mojaris, decorative bags
Jodhpur’s leather cluster ships mojari shoes, embroidered handbags and decorative leather pieces to Moscow design boutiques. Standard B2B paperwork.
Gifts to Indian-Russian families
Small Indian diaspora in Moscow — historically Marwari trader families in the Aerovokzal-Mira-Prospekt area. Sarees, dry sweets, kids’ festival outfits. St Petersburg has a quieter community. Ship to apartment-block addresses; recipient INN required.
Wedding outfits
Sherwanis, lehengas, dupattas to Indian-Russian weddings. Always express; ship 2–3 weeks ahead given longer sanctions-routing transit.
Returning-traveller baggage from Russian tourists
Russian-tourist flow to India has long history (Goa, Rajasthan circuit). Tourists who bought too much in Jodhpur — antique-replica side tables, leather trunks, dhurries — ship the overflow home, picked up from the hotel and shipped before they fly.
Indian classical-music & Ayurveda materials
Russians have historically appreciated Indian classical music and Ayurveda — Russian-translated reference books, sheet music, brass instruments (small). Ayurveda-cultural-exchange shipments are routine and welcomed; Russian-Indian wellness exchange has long history.

When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour. Sanctions-routing means longer transit; we’ll keep you informed if customs holds longer than 4 days.
Asked most often.
I run a Jodhpur antique-furniture-replica workshop shipping samples to Moscow / St Petersburg buyers — what’s the routine?
Standard B2B route, but with one critical detail: declare every piece as ‘reproduction / new manufacture’ with HSN, never as ‘antique’. Genuine antiques (50 years+) cannot be exported under Indian law and the partner network won’t touch them. With ‘reproduction’ honestly declared on the commercial invoice — line-by-line item, dimensions, photographs attached — Russian Customs clears these cleanly. Small carved samples ship by courier; full container loads of carved doors / chests need air-cargo or sea-freight routing, which we can quote separately. Pickup from Salawas, Boranada, or your Sardarpura showroom.
What’s the realistic transit on Jodhpur → Russia post-2022?
Express is 9–13 working days, economy is 13–19. Jodhpur’s extra inland leg to Delhi/Mumbai gateway adds about a day vs Jaipur. Pre-sanctions it was faster; now the partner-network routes via Gulf or other transit hubs and Russian Customs (ФТС) is documentation-precise, so plan for 2–4 days at clearance.
What can’t I ship to Russia because of Western sanctions?
Mainly: electronics with US-export-controlled chips, encryption-enabled hardware above threshold, certain medical equipment on sanctions lists, and genuine antiques (Indian Antiquities Act). Reproduction furniture, leather goods, dhurries, brass handicraft, books, sealed dry sweets, prescription tablets, papier-mâché — all fine. Our DTDC International team will flag at pickup if anything in your declaration is sanctions-sensitive.
