What the Netherlands doesn’t let in.
These are real Belastingdienst Douane 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
- Soft drugs and drug paraphernalia — the Netherlands paradox: cannabis is decriminalised in coffee-shops but PARCELS are zero-tolerance. Pipes, scales, grow-kits, cannabis seeds, CBD oil — all blocked at parcel level.
- Hard drugs — penalties are severe; never attempt.
- Counterfeit goods — luxury and branded counterfeits are seized.
- Pornography of certain categories — flagged at parcel level.
- Weapons and weapon-replicas — even decorative swords and kirpans get flagged.
- Ivory and CITES-listed products — strictly enforced.
- Aerosols, perfumes, lithium >100 Wh — universal courier restriction.
Allowed with care
- Auto/industrial-component B2B samples — declare HS code, item-level description, per-piece value, exporter IEC. Bhiwadi → Dutch auto/industrial-supply lane is routine.
- Textiles and sarees — block-print, silk, lehengas. Dutch customs handles non-counterfeit textiles cleanly.
- Books and printed material — any topic; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets — declare allergens line by line.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, EU Rx-equivalent.
- Non-precious jewellery — declare make and value clearly.
- Small electronics, papier-mâché, decorative arts — Dutch art-trade actively appreciates Indian decorative arts; declare model and value.

Asked most often.
I’m a Bhiwadi auto/industrial-component supplier — Dutch B2B routine?
Bhiwadi suppliers shipping to DAF Trucks (PACCAR Group, Eindhoven) / VDL Group / NedCar supplier networks for B2B samples is an established lane. Routine: commercial invoice with HS code (typically 8708.x.x for auto parts; other codes for industrial), per-piece value, exporter IEC, recipient KvK number of the Dutch supplier. Pickup from Bhiwadi or Alwar town, Delhi feeder same evening, into Delhi-IGI DTDC International. Express runs 5–7 days into Schiphol. Belastingdienst Douane clears clean documents in 24–48 hours.
How efficient is Schiphol customs?
Among the fastest in the EU. Amsterdam-Schiphol is one of Europe’s biggest air-freight hubs and Belastingdienst Douane has the staffing, technology and process to clear clean parcels in 24–48 hours. The Dutch customs system also plays well with EU TARIC and EORI cross-checking, so a B2B parcel with a valid KvK number on the invoice rarely sees a manual review. The flip side: Schiphol is heavily monitored for drug-trafficking and any vague item description gets a closer look. Be specific on the invoice.
Surinamese-Indian community in Rotterdam — what kind of parcels?
The Surinamese-Indian community (descended from Indian indentured labourers who went to Suriname, then migrated to the Netherlands) is large in Rotterdam-Zuid and Den Haag. Parcels from NCR-spillover Alwar families to this community are mostly cultural — festival clothing, sealed dry sweets (allergens declared), Hindi/Bhojpuri religious books, decorative items for Diwali and Holi. Care kits to elderly relatives are common. Standard EU Rx and food-allergen rules apply, but the lane runs cleanly.
