Polish customs.
Clearance at Warsaw-Chopin (WAW), Kraków (KRK) or Gdańsk (GDN), often via a Schengen-EU trans-shipment from Frankfurt or Amsterdam. Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa (Polish Customs) is among the more efficient in the EU — clean parcels usually clear in 48–72 hours.

A 2 kg parcel — say a tray of non-precious gem samples and block-print stoles for a Marwari merchant in Warsaw:
- 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. Poland is in the EU — items above €150 attract VAT and possible duty under TARIC.
Recipient PESEL / NIP
The recipient’s PESEL (Polish ID number) on the invoice helps Polish Customs clear the parcel quickly; for B2B, the NIP is required. Medicines fall under URPL regulation — prescription copy mandatory.
What Poland doesn’t let in.
Poland is in the EU and follows TARIC rules. Two country-specific sensitivities worth noting: post-1989 Poland is strict about Soviet-glorifying media, and Nazi-era paraphernalia is prohibited under Polish law. These are real Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa rules, not our caution.
Don’t even try
- Drugs and narcotics — strict penalties; 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 and electronics are seized at Warsaw.
- CITES-listed wildlife items — ivory, certain skins, shahtoosh, rare-wood handicrafts without permit.
- Nazi paraphernalia — strictly prohibited under Polish law (WWII history); applies to symbols, memorabilia, themed merchandise.
- Soviet-glorifying media — post-1989 Poland is sensitive; flagged on inspection if visible on packaging or content.
- Tobacco and novel-tobacco products — vape liquids and heated-tobacco devices are restricted.
Allowed with care
- Textiles, sarees, block-print fabric, papier-mâché — declare a fair value.

- Sealed dry sweets and namkeen (factory-packed) — declare ingredients and allergens; fine in small personal quantities, no homemade food.

Gem-trade samples, IT-BPO diaspora, B2B handicraft.
Gem-trade non-precious samples to Warsaw / Kraków Marwari merchants
Jaipur’s coloured-stone trade has small but settled contacts in Warsaw and Kraków’s Marwari merchant circuits. Non-precious / semi-precious sample lots, beads, costume-jewellery components — declared honestly with item-level values; gold and unhallmarked precious metals stay out.
Block-print B2B to Warsaw / Kraków design boutiques
Sanganer and Bagru block-print fabric, dohars, cushion covers, table linen — shipped to Warsaw and Kraków design-shop boutiques that import Indian craft. Declare titles, fibre content and a fair value.
Wedding outfits to Indian-Polish families
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings and Diwali to Indian-Polish families in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław and Gdańsk.
Kraków & Wrocław IT/BPO parcels
Capgemini Kraków, Accenture Warsaw, IBM Wrocław — Indian-tech families on multi-year postings receive routine care parcels: kitchen tools, festival clothing, kids’ school supplies, sealed snacks. Apartment-block addresses are weekly destinations.
Student care kits
Warsaw University, Jagiellonian Kraków, AGH Kraków, Wrocław Tech — Indian-engineering and English-medium MBBS programmes draw a sizeable student cohort. Books, kitchen tools (no wood), sealed snacks, festival clothing.
Returning-traveller baggage
Polish tourists travel India in growing numbers — Rajasthan tours through Jaipur, Kerala-Goa coastal trips. Hotel pickup of overflow shopping (textiles, books, decorative items) and despatch home is routine.
Diwali parcels
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 gem-trade samples to Warsaw / Kraków — anything to flag?
Only non-precious / semi-precious items below restricted-export thresholds go via DTDC International — anything that needs Assay-Hallmark or GJEPC documentation routes formally. Declare each lot clearly (e.g. ‘50 ct rough garnet, sample, $X’) with fair declared value; Polish Customs at Warsaw-Chopin read invoices carefully on small heavy parcels and the recipient’s NIP (or PESEL for personal) on the invoice avoids back-and-forth on higher-value lots.
Our family is in Kraków at the Capgemini campus — is that a routine destination?
Yes. Kraków’s IT/BPO cluster (Capgemini, ABB, Cisco) and Wrocław’s (IBM, Nokia) employ a sizeable Indian-tech cohort, and apartment addresses in Kraków’s Krowodrza, Podgórze and Wola Justowska, plus Wrocław’s Krzyki, Fabryczna and Stare Miasto are weekly destinations. We deliver to residential addresses — not corporate campuses — but apartment drop-off works fine. Last-mile is usually Pocztex or InPost depending on the address.
Care kits for an Indian student in Warsaw — what’s the right time?
October is peak intake at Polish universities, and the few weeks around it are when most family parcels go out. Plan a 10–14 day buffer before move-in if you can. Standard contents — bedsheets, cotton kurtas, prescription tablets (sealed strip with prescription), kitchen tools (no wood), sealed snacks — clear without issue. Indian-restaurant supply documents are sometimes added to the same parcel for student-association events; that’s also fine.
