Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say polyester-suiting samples for an Amsterdam fashion-importer:
- 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.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Dutch customs (Belastingdienst Douane) at Schiphol is among the fastest in the EU. Get the invoice and identifiers right at pickup and parcels move through quickly. For Bhilwara textile-mill commercial exports, HS codes are non-negotiable.
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 — and Bhilwara textile-suiting samples almost always count — a printed invoice with item, HS code (52/54/55 series for synthetic and blended suiting), quantity and value. Recipient KvK (Chamber of Commerce) number for B2B; personal recipient needs BSN (Citizen Service Number). For gifts, a written declaration with stated value.
Prescription (medicines)
Sealed tablets only, with a copy of the doctor’s prescription and registration number. CIBG rules apply — no controlled substances, no liquid medicines, no injectables.
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
- Bhilwara polyester / blended-suiting fabric — Amsterdam design-district imports volume from India. Declare with HS code, fibre composition, GSM and per-metre value.
- Textile-mill samples and swatch books — clearly labelled as ‘sample, no commercial value’ if applicable, with stated nominal value.
- Sarees, lehengas, dupattas — block-print, silk. 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.

Asked most often.
We run a Bhilwara mill — what’s the routine for sending suiting samples to an Amsterdam fashion-importer?
Standard commercial export. Clean commercial invoice with item-level descriptions (e.g. ‘polyester-viscose blended suiting, 240 GSM, finished’), HS code (5407/5515 series), per-metre value and total value. Recipient KvK number of the Amsterdam buyer is mandatory for B2B clearance — without it, Belastingdienst reclassifies as personal and duties get recalculated. KYC of the mill-side sender. We prepare the AWB. Bhilwara feeder to Udaipur same evening, air move next day, Schiphol clearance in 24–48 hours, last-mile within 6–8 days door-to-door.
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.
Why does Bhilwara route via Udaipur — can’t Bhilwara handle it directly?
Bhilwara has no airport. The nearest international DTDC facility with daily airline pickups is Udaipur, ~165 km away. We do the surface-feed inside the rate at 5 kg+, so it doesn’t cost extra; it just adds about 24 hours to transit versus a direct Udaipur pickup. For very urgent shipments under 5 kg we sometimes road-feed to Jaipur — happy to quote if needed.
