International courier from Jodhpur to Sri Lanka. Free home pickup.

Three things, practically. Documentation review is more thorough — invoices, HS codes and declared values are scrutinised more closely. Clearance fees are variable and can be higher than the pre-crisis baseline; we can’t quote them in advance because they depend on the day’s rate and the inspector’s assessment. And clearance can run a day or two longer than it used to. None of this is a problem if your commercial invoice is complete and your declared value is fair — under-declaration draws queries that delay everything.

Yes for samples, finish swatches, lookbooks, hardware sets and small accent pieces — that travels as standard parcel courier with a clean commercial invoice (item, quantity, value, HS codes), KYC, and the Sri Lanka-side business registration. Full-container or part-load furniture shipments don’t belong on a courier — they go by surface freight (typically Mumbai/Mundra–Colombo port) under a separate booking, and we can route that for you too. Sri Lankan colonial-villa-imports buyers are particular about provenance documentation; over-document rather than under-document.

Yes — it’s a small but steady niche. Sri Lankan Buddhist pilgrims at Sarnath, Bodh Gaya and other sites often want to send back books, prayer beads, framed images and ritual items. We pick up from the hotel or temple complex if it’s in Jodhpur’s reach, document it as personal effects with a fair declared value, and ship via Colombo. The receiving family or temple in Sri Lanka does the last-mile pickup at the local DTDC office or accepts home delivery.
