International courier from Jodhpur to the United Kingdom. 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. 6–8 working days door-to-door for express; from ₹1,300 per kilogram before fuel surcharge and GST.
Five steps from your Jodhpur door to a UK address.
Pickup, Jodhpur.
Free at 5 kg+ across Jodhpur — Sardarpura, Sojati Gate, Ratanada, Paota, Boranada handicraft estate. 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 — UK Border Force expects it. Done at our office before handover.
DTDC handover.
Same evening into DTDC International. ~600 km road feeder to Delhi (DEL — fastest leg for Jodhpur → UK), then air to LHR Heathrow or LGW Gatwick.
UK customs (HMRC).
Clearance at the London gateway. Post-Brexit, B2B parcels are scrutinised more carefully — declared value, ingredient lists, EORI, and ISPM-15 wood-treatment papers all matter. Paperwork-clean parcels typically clear within 24–48 hours.
Doorstep delivery.
Last-mile via Royal Mail or the partner courier. POD on WhatsApp the same day.

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. Post-Brexit, the UK flags B2B value declarations carefully — and Jodhpur’s antique-furniture-replica and leather exporters need treatment paperwork too. 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 listing items, quantity and value. Senders shipping commercially also need a UK EORI number on the recipient side. For personal gifts, a written declaration suffices.
Treatment / fumigation papers
For wood-component handicraft, UK customs expects ISPM-15 evidence; for leather, treatment / tanning certificates from your manufacturer. We help arrange these before the parcel ships.
What the United Kingdom doesn’t let in.
These are real UK Border Force, HMRC and FSA rules — not our caution. The UK is particularly strict on CITES (endangered-species materials) and animal-product handicrafts. For Jodhpur senders specifically: untreated wood and bamboo handicraft and untreated leather get flagged hard — your manufacturer’s treatment certificate is the difference between clearance and seizure.
Don’t even try
- Dairy — paneer, ghee, khoya-mithai. Only commercially-sealed UHT products have a narrow allowance.
- Meat and poultry products — including dried and sealed.
- Untreated wood and bamboo handicrafts — without ISPM-15 / fumigation paperwork.
- Untreated leather goods — without tanning / treatment certificates.
- Fresh fruit, vegetables, seeds, dried plants — UK biosecurity rules.
- Hemp and CBD products — UK MHRA classifies most as restricted.
- Ivory, animal-bone handicrafts, peacock feathers — CITES is enforced absolutely.
- Counterfeit branded goods — UK Border Force seizes routinely.
- Aerosols, lithium batteries above 100 Wh, all liquids — universal courier rules.

Asked most often.
Can I ship a small antique-furniture-replica piece from Jodhpur to a London auction-house buyer?
Yes — but with treatment paperwork. UK customs requires ISPM-15 evidence (heat-treated or fumigated wood) on imports. Many Jodhpur exporters in the Boranada handicraft estate and around Mandore already have fumigation tie-ups; we coordinate with your manufacturer to attach the certificate to the AWB. Without paperwork, the piece gets held at LHR — and disposal is the consignee’s expense. With paperwork, it clears like any other declared B2B parcel.
What changed for B2B parcels post-Brexit?
Two things. First, UK customs no longer treats EU-origin paperwork as inland — every consignment from India needs its own commercial invoice with HS codes and a clear value declaration. Second, anyone shipping commercially to a UK business now generally needs a UK EORI number on the recipient side; without it the parcel can stall at HMRC. For personal gifts under the gift threshold, the process is simpler — but value still must be declared honestly. We handle the paperwork end-to-end at pickup.
Can I send Diwali sweets to my family in Leicester or Birmingham?
Mostly, no. UK FSA rules treat ghee-, milk- and khoya-based mithai (kaju katli, peda, barfi) as dairy — not allowed. Commercially-sealed dry biscuits and namkeen with a full printed ingredient list have a narrow allowance, and even those are sometimes opened by Border Force. For Diwali we recommend non-food parcels: diyas, decorations, clothing, pooja items, and small Jodhpur handicraft. They land safely; food parcels often don’t.
