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.

Starting rates. Real pricing depends on weight.
Final price depends on actual or volumetric weight (whichever is greater) plus the international fuel surcharge in force on your booking date. GST is extra.

- Pickup from JodhpurFree at 5 kg+
Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.
Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say antique-replica wood swatches and brass hardware samples for a Warsaw auction-house buyer:
- 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. Antique-replica furniture itself ships as freight, not air-courier — we route those separately.
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 antique-replica documentation 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, leather (treated) — declare a fair value; treated leather needs clear treatment notes.
- 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, 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.
Antique-replica B2B, handicraft, leather, decorative arts.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B samples to Warsaw / Kraków auction houses
Jodhpur is India’s antique-furniture-replica hub — Salawas and old-city workshops produce reproduction colonial, Mughal-revival and Rajasthani heritage furniture. Polish auction houses, dealers and interior-design studios in Warsaw and Kraków source from Jodhpur. Sample swatches, brass hardware kits, finish samples, fabric upholstery, catalogues — bulky furniture itself ships as sea freight on a separate lane.
Handicraft & decorative arts
Block-print fabric, dohars, cushion covers, papier-mâché, brass and copperware, marble inlay items. Polish design boutiques in Warsaw’s Mokotów and Kraków’s Kazimierz stock Indian craft. Declare materials and a fair value.
Treated leather goods
Jodhpur’s leather cluster (jutis, bags, journals) ships to Polish boutique buyers. Treatment certificates accompany the consignment.
Wedding outfits to Indian-Polish families
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings and Diwali to Indian-Polish families.
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.
Returning-traveller baggage
Polish tourists travel India in growing numbers — Rajasthan tours through Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, Kerala-Goa coastal trips. Hotel pickup of overflow shopping (textiles, decorative items, books) and despatch home is routine.
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 supply antique-replica furniture to Warsaw / Kraków dealers — does the documentation route work?
Yes. Bulky furniture ships as sea freight on a separate lane (we route those formally); DTDC International handles the air-courier supporting documentation — sample swatches, brass hardware kits, finish samples, B/L copies, COO certificates. Make sure the recipient has an NIP on the invoice (B2B Poland requirement) and that any wood components are declared as treated / ISPM-15 compliant. Polish auction houses and Kraków-Kazimierz design studios are familiar with the format.
How does Poland customs compare to other EU countries?
Poland is among the more efficient — Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa runs a clean operation at Warsaw-Chopin and Kraków, and most paperwork-clean DTDC parcels clear in 48–72 hours. The main delay we see is when invoices don’t carry the recipient’s PESEL (or NIP for B2B) on higher-value items; without it, the Polish system holds the parcel for the consignee to provide it. Adding it upfront avoids the back-and-forth.
Treated leather goods to Poland — anything to flag?
Jodhpur leather (jutis, bags, journals, decorative pieces) ships to Poland with a treatment note from the manufacturer confirming the leather is processed (chrome / vegetable-tanned) and not raw. EU scrutiny is on raw / untreated animal materials; treated leather clears without issue when documentation is on the parcel. We help draft a one-line treatment-confirmation note for the invoice.
