Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a non-precious gem-sample envelope to an Amsterdam diamond-district merchant:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,300≈ ₹2,600

- 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.
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 — required for Amsterdam diamond-district Marwari merchants and any commercial recipient. 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
- Precious metals and bullion (including diamonds) — CRITICAL for Jaipur senders: only NON-PRECIOUS samples ship on consumer courier. The historic Amsterdam-Jaipur Marwari diamond-trade is real, but actual diamonds and precious metals move on dedicated insured-carrier networks (BVC, Brinks, Loomis), NEVER on DTDC consumer courier. Schiphol customs is heavily monitored for precious-metal smuggling.
- 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
- Block-print textiles — Bagru and Sanganer hand-block cotton, silk dupattas, lehengas. Dutch customs handles non-counterfeit textiles cleanly.
- Non-precious gem-trade samples — silver-plated brass, costume settings, glass stones, semi-precious unmounted samples for Amsterdam-De Pijp Marwari merchants. Declare ‘non-precious sample’ explicitly. Schiphol customs is precise about this distinction.
- 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.
Amsterdam-diamond Marwari axis, IT-engineering students, Surinamese-Indian gifts.
Amsterdam diamond-trade B2B (historic Marwari axis)
Amsterdam has been a diamond-trade hub since the 17th century, and Marwari/Gujarati merchants have been part of that trade for over a hundred years — the Jaipur-Amsterdam Marwari axis is centuries old. Today the lane is mostly documents, valuations, certifications, sample papers and NON-PRECIOUS reference samples (silver-plated brass settings, costume pieces, glass-stones, semi-precious unmounted samples). Actual diamonds and precious bullion move on dedicated insured-carrier networks, NEVER on consumer courier. Schiphol customs is precise on this distinction.
Block-print B2B (Amsterdam design boutiques)
Bagru and Sanganer hand-block cotton swatches, sample books and small lots ship to Amsterdam design boutiques. KvK on the invoice every time.
Non-precious jewellery & costume
Costume jewellery, silver-plated brass, lac bangles and Meenakari-decorated pieces (non-precious) to Indian-Dutch and Surinamese-Indian families.
Wedding outfits (Indian-Dutch + Surinamese-Indian)
Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas to Indian-Dutch families and the large Surinamese-Indian community in Rotterdam-Zuid and Den Haag. Always express.
Student care kits
Books, sealed dry snacks, kitchen tools, Indian-grocery basics to TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, Wageningen and Erasmus Rotterdam. Indian-student presence on engineering tracks is large.
Marwari B2B documents (Amsterdam-De Pijp)
Commercial invoices, sample dispatch papers to the Marwari wholesale presence in Amsterdam-De Pijp and the diamond-district.
Business documents
Commercial invoices, signed contracts, certifications and valuation papers for Amsterdam diamond-district merchants and ASML/Philips/Booking.com Indian-engineering corporate addresses.
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.
Amsterdam diamond-district Marwari merchants — what actually ships from Jaipur?
The Jaipur-Amsterdam Marwari diamond-trade is centuries old — Gujarati and Marwari merchants have been part of Amsterdam’s diamond hub since the 17th century. Today, what moves on consumer courier is paperwork: certifications, valuations, GIA/IGI grading reports, sample dispatch papers, reference catalogues. Plus NON-PRECIOUS reference samples (silver-plated brass settings, costume pieces, glass-stones, semi-precious unmounted samples). Actual diamonds and precious gold consignments move on dedicated insured-carrier networks (BVC, Brinks, Loomis) under different paperwork — never on DTDC consumer courier. Schiphol Belastingdienst Douane is heavily monitored for precious-metal smuggling, so we are precise about declaring ‘non-precious’ on the invoice.
How fast does Schiphol clear a clean parcel?
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 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 precious-metal smuggling — 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 Jaipur Marwari families to this community are mostly cultural — wedding outfits, costume jewellery, 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.
