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 Bhiwadi auto-component B2B, a printed invoice with item, HS code (typically 8708.x.x for parts), quantity, per-piece value and exporter IEC. 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.
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
- Auto-component B2B samples — declare HS code, item-level description, per-piece value, exporter IEC. Bhiwadi → French auto-supply lane is routine.
- 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.
Bhiwadi auto-component B2B, NCR-IT family parcels, Diwali.
Bhiwadi auto-component B2B to French auto-supply
Bhiwadi auto-cluster suppliers ship samples and supplier-onboarding documentation to the French auto-supply chain — Renault / Peugeot / Citroën-supplier B2B. Commercial invoice with HS code (8708.x.x), per-piece value, exporter IEC and recipient SIRET keeps these moving cleanly through Paris-CDG Douanes.
NCR-IT family parcels
Alwar is NCR-spillover — the IT/services workforce living in Alwar town with offices in Gurgaon and Noida ships family parcels to France-resident relatives across Paris-Île-de-France, Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse. Sarees, sealed dry snacks, festival clothing.
Wedding outfits
Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas to Indian-French families — including Sikh-French and the historic Tamil-Pondichéry-French community. Always express.
Diwali parcels (non-food-heavy)
Diyas, decorations, pooja items, sealed dry mithai with allergen labels. Express recommended to land before the festival.
Returning-traveller baggage
For French tourists who picked up too much in Sariska, Alwar or onward Rajasthan — picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly out.
Block-print and decorative B2B
Hand-block printed cotton, papier-mâché samples, decorative-arts samples to Parisian boutiques.
Small industrial machinery samples
Beyond auto-components, Bhiwadi’s industrial diversity (plastics, packaging, electricals) means occasional B2B samples to French industrial buyers run on this lane.

Asked most often.
I’m a Bhiwadi auto-component supplier — French OEM B2B routine?
Bhiwadi suppliers shipping to Renault / Peugeot / Citroën-supplier B2B is an established lane. Routine: commercial invoice with HS code (typically 8708.x.x for parts), per-piece value, exporter IEC, recipient SIRET of the French auto-supplier or sourcing arm. Pickup from Bhiwadi or Alwar town, Delhi feeder same evening, into Delhi-IGI DTDC International. Express runs 5–7 days into Paris-CDG. Without SIRET, Douanes treats it as personal and can hold for clarification — always include SIRET for B2B shipments.
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.
How fast does express actually land in Paris from Alwar?
5–7 working days door-to-door is what we quote. The Delhi-feeder leg is a real advantage — Bhiwadi to Delhi-IGI is ~80–100 km — so origin adds no meaningful time. Delhi-CDG is daily direct on Air France and Air India. Douanes clears clean parcels in 24–48 hours. Lyon, Marseille, Nice add 1 day for last-mile beyond Paris.
