A 2 kg parcel — say a couple of cotton kurtas and a small box of dry namkeen for a family 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.
Family parcels, student kits, B2B handicraft.
Gifts to Indian-Irish families
Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick — the Indian diaspora has grown fast around the Dublin tech cluster (Google, Facebook/Meta, Microsoft, AIB) and the HSE-hospital medical-doctor community. Sweets, sarees, wedding outfits, kids’ clothes, festival hampers.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings and Diwali to Indian-Irish families.
B2B handicraft samples
Block-print fabric, cushion covers, papier-mâché, miniatures. Shipped to Dublin design-shop boutiques and small importers — Udaipur’s craft inventory has steady takers.
Student care kits
Trinity College Dublin, UCD, NUI Galway, UL Limerick — Indian students on engineering and pharma tracks. Books, kitchen tools (no wood), sealed snacks, festival clothing.
Returning-traveller baggage
Irish tourists who shopped too much in Udaipur — picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly home. Common after Rajasthan tours.
Indian-doctor diaspora parcels
Indian doctors at HSE hospitals (Beaumont, St James’s, Cork University Hospital) routinely receive prescription tablets, family clothing and Diwali parcels. Hospital-address delivery is routine.
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.
How fast does Irish customs at Dublin actually clear a parcel?
Among the fastest in the EU. Revenue Commissioners run a streamlined operation at Dublin Airport and most paperwork-clean DTDC parcels clear in 24–48 hours. The only delays we see are when the consignee’s PPS Number isn’t on the invoice for higher-value items, or when factory-sealed snacks attract a DAFM look-up. Both are usually resolved with a quick email from the consignee to Revenue.
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’ll 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.
