03 — Rate band, Udaipur → France

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 (5–7 days, door)from ₹1,300 / kg
  • Economy (8–12 days, door)from ₹950 / kg
  • Min billable weight0.5 kg
  • Pickup from UdaipurFree at 5 kg+

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

Worked example

A 2 kg parcel — say block-print fabric samples for a Paris-Faubourg-Saint-Denis buyer:

  • 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.

04 — Customs & documentation

What you’ll need at pickup.

French customs (Douanes Françaises) is generally efficient on EU TARIC paperwork. Get the invoice and identifiers right at pickup and the parcel moves through CDG without fuss.

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 with item, HS code, quantity and value. Recipient SIRET for B2B is required; French Numéro Fiscal for personal recipient eases clearance. For gifts, a written declaration with stated value.

Prescription (medicines)

Sealed tablets only, with a copy of the doctor’s prescription and registration number. ANSM rules apply — no controlled substances, no liquid medicines, no injectables.

05 — France-specific restrictions

What France doesn’t let in.

These are real Douanes and EU TARIC rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, and the consignee usually pays a disposal fee.

Don’t even try

  • Counterfeit luxury goods — France is HQ to LVMH, Hermès, Chanel; anti-counterfeit cooperation is the strictest in the EU. Even ‘inspired-by’ items get flagged.
  • Drug paraphernalia — pipes, scales, grow-kits and similar items are blocked.
  • CBD or cannabis products with THC — French law on cannabinoids is restrictive; assume blocked.
  • Weapons and edged-decorative items — banned-weapon list catches ornamental swords, kirpans and decorative knives.
  • Ivory and animal products — CITES plus France’s additional protections.
  • Aerosols, perfumes, lithium >100 Wh — universal courier restriction.
  • Items with Nazi iconography — French law (Loi Gayssot) parallels Germany; even foreign-published memorabilia is blocked.

Allowed with care

  • Textiles and sarees — block-print, silk, lehengas. France’s fashion-import-friendly customs handles non-counterfeit textiles cleanly.
  • Books and printed material — any topic; declare title and value.
  • Sealed dry sweets — declare allergens; gluten and nut callouts especially.
  • Prescription tablets — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, EU Rx-equivalent.
  • Non-precious jewellery — declare clearly to differentiate from precious.
  • Small electronics, papier-mâché, fashion textiles — declare model and value.
06 — What goes Udaipur → France

Family gifts, B2B textile samples, student care kits.

Indian-French family gifts

Sarees, sweets (sealed, declared), Diwali items shipped to Indian-French families across Paris-Île-de-France, Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse. The IT and finance diaspora in Paris drives the bulk.

Wedding outfits

Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas to Indian-French families — including Sikh-French and the historic Tamil-Pondichéry-French community. Always express.

Marwari B2B documents

Commercial invoices, sample dispatch papers, signed contracts to Marwari traders in the Faubourg-Saint-Denis Indian wholesale district in Paris.

Block-print and decorative B2B

Hand-block printed cotton, papier-mâché samples, decorative-arts samples to Parisian boutiques — French buyers value Indian craft and pricing reflects that.

Student care kits

Books, sealed dry snacks, kitchen tools, Indian-grocery basics to Sciences Po, École Polytechnique, INSEAD and Sorbonne. Indian-student presence in France is growing year on year.

Returning-traveller baggage

For French tourists who picked up too much in India — picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly out.

Pondichéry-French-Tamil cultural exchange

Tamil-French families in Paris and Pondichéry-heritage diaspora often ship Indian items via Marwari relatives in Udaipur. Documents, fabric and ritual items mostly.

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 France shipments

Asked most often.

Why does French customs flag counterfeit luxury so hard?

France is the global headquarters of the luxury industry — LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Dior), Hermès, Chanel, Cartier all run anti-counterfeit cooperation directly with Douanes. The result is that France screens incoming parcels for branded-goods more aggressively than any other EU country. Even ‘inspired-by’ items, lookalike logos or unbranded items in branded-style packaging get pulled. If you’re sending textiles or jewellery, keep the descriptions plain (‘cotton block-print scarf’, ‘silver-plated brass earrings’) — never reference a brand name on the invoice.

Faubourg-Saint-Denis Marwari B2B — what’s the routine?

Faubourg-Saint-Denis (10th arrondissement, Paris) is the Indian wholesale district. Most B2B from Udaipur Marwari families to Faubourg traders runs as: commercial invoice with item-level HS codes and values, KYC of sender, and SIRET of the receiving Paris business. With those three, clearance is routine; without SIRET, Douanes treats it as personal and can hold for clarification. We have the SIRET checklist at pickup.

Pondichéry-French-Tamil families — special routine?

Not really — once it’s on French soil, parcels going to Tamil-French families in Paris, Pondichéry-heritage neighbourhoods or Marseille move on the same Douanes rules as anything else. The Tamil-Pondichéry historical link sometimes means the receiving family has dual paperwork (French Numéro Fiscal plus Indian Aadhaar), which actually helps if Douanes asks for clarification. We just need the recipient’s French address and Numéro Fiscal — that’s it.
