Five steps from your Bikaner door to a Dutch address.
Pickup, Bikaner.

Worked example

- 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. Bikaneri-bhujia clears in factory-sealed retail packs with EU labelling.
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 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.
- Loose / unsealed Bikaneri-bhujia or namkeen — EU food-import labelling applies; only sealed factory packs with allergen and ingredient declarations clear.
- 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
- Sealed-pack Bikaneri-bhujia — factory retail packs with EU-style allergen and ingredient labelling clear into the Indian-grocery network across Amsterdam and Den Haag.
- Diamond-trade documents and certifications — paperwork only; never actual stones via consumer courier. Declare clearly with KvK on the invoice.
- Textiles and outfits — 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.

Bikaneri-bhujia-export B2B
Sealed-pack bhujia and namkeen samples to the Indian-grocery shop network in Amsterdam, Den Haag and Rotterdam. EU food-labelling compliance handled at the pack.
Amsterdam-diamond-district documents
Amsterdam has been a diamond-trade hub since the 17th century, and Marwari merchants — including Bikaner-origin houses — have been part of that axis for over a hundred years. Today the lane carries certifications, invoices, valuations and signed paperwork; actual stones move on dedicated insured-carrier networks. Commercial invoice + KYC + KvK is the routine.
Marwari business documents
Commercial invoices, sample dispatch papers, signed contracts to Bikaner-Marwari families with Amsterdam business links — extends beyond diamonds into general wholesale.
Wedding outfits
Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas to Indian-Dutch families and Bikaner-origin households. Always express.
Diwali parcels
Sealed sweets, diyas, decorations, pooja items — shipped before mid-October to land in time.

Asked most often.
Bikaner-Marwari to Amsterdam diamond district — is the historic connection real?
Yes. Amsterdam’s diamond district has been a global trade hub since the 17th century, and Indian Marwari merchants have been part of it for well over a century — Gujarati and Bikaner-origin houses are both threaded into the trade. The everyday paperwork lane today is documents, certifications, GIA-equivalent grading reports, valuations and signed invoices; the actual stones move on dedicated insured-carrier networks built for jewels, not on consumer courier. For the paper side, the routine is straightforward: commercial invoice with item descriptions, KYC of sender, KvK (B2B) or BSN (personal) of recipient. Schiphol clears these promptly.
Why does Bikaner → Netherlands take a day longer than Delhi → Netherlands?
Bikaner has no airport. The road feeder to Jaipur or Delhi (~430 km) adds about a day before the air uplift, so we quote 6–8 working days express where Delhi origin would be 5–7. The feeder is built into our pricing, not surcharged separately.
Sending sealed Bikaneri-bhujia to a Den Haag or Amsterdam Indian-grocery — what clears it?
Factory-sealed retail packs with ingredients in English/Dutch, allergen callouts (gluten, nuts, mustard), manufacturer name/address and best-before date. Recipient KvK on the invoice if it’s a shop. Dutch customs at Schiphol is among the fastest in the EU and clears clean food labels promptly. Loose snacks or repacked bags do not clear.
