Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a tray of non-precious gem-trade samples and a couple of block-print stoles for a Marwari merchant in Dublin:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,400≈ ₹2,800
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹700
- + GST 18%≈ ₹630
- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,650
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so it doesn’t.
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 listing items, quantity and value. For gifts, a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated. Ireland is in the EU — items above €150 attract VAT and possible duty under TARIC, and B2B consignments need the recipient’s EORI number.
Recipient PPS / EORI
For personal shipments, a recipient PPS Number on file helps Revenue clear the parcel quickly. For business shipments, an EORI number is required. Medicines fall under HPRA regulation — prescription copy mandatory.
What Ireland doesn’t let in.
Ireland is in the EU and follows TARIC rules, but as an island it also runs its own biosecurity controls (DAFM) — stricter than mainland Europe on plant material and animal products. These are real Revenue and DAFM rules, not our caution.
Don’t even try
- Drugs and narcotics — Ireland’s penalties for trafficking are severe; no exceptions.
- Weapons, replicas, knives — including air pistols, decorative swords and martial-arts items.
- Aerosols and pressurised containers — universal courier rule on the air leg.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on the air leg.
- Counterfeit goods — fake-branded apparel, accessories and electronics are seized at Dublin.
- CITES-listed wildlife items — ivory, certain skins, shahtoosh, rare-wood handicrafts without permit.
- Plants, seeds, untreated wood, soil — Irish agricultural biosecurity is strict (protected island ecosystem).
- Meat, dairy, raw animal products — restricted under EU and DAFM rules.
- IRA-glorifying or paramilitary-themed media — sensitive given Northern Ireland history; avoid.
Allowed with care
- Textiles, sarees, block-print fabric, papier-mâché — declare a fair value.
- Books and printed material — any topic; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets and namkeen (factory-packed) — declare ingredients and allergens; fine in small personal quantities, but no homemade food.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, no injectables, no controlled substances.
- Non-precious jewellery — declare make and value; no gold bars or unhallmarked precious metals.
- Small electronics — phones, headphones, smartwatches; declare make, model, value.
Gem-trade samples, block-print B2B, diaspora parcels.
Gem-trade non-precious samples
Jaipur is the world’s coloured-stone hub, and non-precious sample parcels — semi-precious cut stones below export-restriction value, beads, costume-jewellery components — go regularly to Marwari merchant contacts in Dublin and Cork. Always declared as samples with documented value; gold and unhallmarked precious metals stay out of the parcel.
Block-print B2B to Dublin design boutiques
Sanganer and Bagru block-print fabric, dohars, cushion covers, table linen — shipped to Dublin design-shop boutiques and small Irish importers who stock Indian craft. Declare titles, fibre content and a fair value.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings and Diwali to Indian-Irish families in Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick.
Dublin tech-cluster diaspora parcels
Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Salesforce, AIB — the campuses around Dublin Docklands and Sandyford employ a large Indian-IT cohort, and home addresses in Lucan, Tallaght, Sandyford, Citywest and Adamstown are weekly destinations. Sweets, sarees, kids’ clothes, festival hampers.
Indian-doctor diaspora parcels
Indian doctors at HSE hospitals (Beaumont, St James’s, Mater, Cork University Hospital) routinely receive prescription tablets, family clothing and Diwali parcels. Hospital-address delivery is routine.
Student care kits
Trinity College Dublin, UCD, NUI Galway, UL Limerick — the Indian-engineering and pharma-track cohort is strong. Books, kitchen tools (no wood), sealed snacks, festival clothing.
Diwali parcels (mostly non-food)
Diyas, decorations, pooja items, dry sweets in factory packs. Recommend express to land before the festival.
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.
Asked most often.
We send semi-precious gem samples regularly — anything special at Jaipur pickup?
Yes, two things. First, only non-precious / semi-precious items below restricted-export thresholds go via DTDC International — anything that needs an Assay-Hallmark or GJEPC documentation is a different lane and we’ll route it formally. Second, the invoice should describe each lot clearly (e.g. ‘50 ct rough garnet, sample, $X’) with a fair declared value. Under-declaration to dodge Irish VAT/duty almost always backfires at Revenue. We’ve worked with several Jaipur gem-trade firms shipping to Marwari contacts in Dublin and Cork — the format is well-trodden.
We have family in the Dublin tech cluster — is shipping there routine?
Very routine. Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Salesforce — the campuses around Dublin Docklands and Sandyford employ a large Indian-IT cohort, and home addresses in Lucan, Tallaght, Sandyford, Citywest and Adamstown are weekly destinations on this lane. We deliver to a residential address only — corporate-campus delivery isn’t allowed by most facilities — but neighbourhood drop-off works fine.
Can you ship prescription tablets to a doctor relative working at HSE hospital?
Yes — HSE hospital addresses (Beaumont, St James’s, Mater, Tallaght University Hospital, Cork University Hospital) are accepted as delivery addresses for personal medicine parcels. Send only the prescribed quantity, sealed strips, copy of the prescription with the doctor’s registration number, and a one-line note from the prescribing doctor. HPRA rules apply to anything beyond personal-quantity tablets — we’ll flag if the volume looks commercial and route accordingly.
