- Express, 2 kg × ₹1,400≈ ₹2,800

- 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.
Mayo alumni care, Sufi-devotee gifts, handicraft.
Mayo College alumni care kits to Dublin / Cork
Mayo College’s old-boy network is wide and well-travelled, with alumni and their families settled in Dublin (tech cluster, HSE hospitals) and Cork. Care parcels — books, kurtas, dry sweets in factory packs, festival items, school memorabilia — are a recurring shipment around alumni reunion weekends and Diwali.
Sufi-devotee gifts to Ireland-Muslim community
Ajmer is the seat of the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti dargah and the most important Indian Sufi pilgrimage site. Ireland’s small Muslim community includes Sufi-order families with ancestral connections to Ajmer; chadars (non-precious decorative cloth), Sufi devotional books, prayer beads, framed calligraphy and pilgrimage memorabilia ship as gifts. Declare items as ‘religious / devotional’ on the invoice.
Handicraft & decorative items
Brass, copperware, papier-mâché, block-print stoles, miniature paintings. Shipped to Indian-Irish families and small Dublin importers. Declare materials and a fair value.
Returning-traveller baggage
Irish tourists who shopped in Ajmer-Pushkar or stopped on a Rajasthan tour — picked up from the hotel, packed (no organic material), shipped before they fly home. Common after Pushkar fair and dargah pilgrimage trips.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings and Eid / Diwali to Indian-Irish families.
Diwali parcels (mostly non-food)
Diyas, decorations, pooja items, dry sweets in factory packs. Recommend express to land before the festival.
Diaspora parcels to the Dublin tech cluster & HSE hospitals
Indian-IT cohort at Google, Meta, Microsoft, AIB and the Indian-doctor cohort at HSE hospitals (Beaumont, St James’s, Mater) receive routine family parcels — sweets, sarees, kids’ clothes, festival hampers.
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.
Sufi devotional items — chadars, calligraphy, prayer beads — to Ireland: any issue?
Generally fine. Declare items as ‘religious / devotional’ on the invoice with a fair value, and avoid anything that could read as a CITES-listed material (no shahtoosh, no rare-wood frames without permit). Ireland’s small Sufi-order Muslim community has ancestral connections to Ajmer, and devotional gifts ship through this lane regularly. Chadars (non-precious decorative cloth), Sufi books, framed Arabic calligraphy and prayer beads clear without issue.
Mayo College alumni reunion in Dublin — can we ship a coordinated set of parcels?
Yes. We’ve handled multi-parcel alumni reunion shipments before — same recipient or coordinated set of recipients in Dublin and Cork. Books, school memorabilia, kurtas, framed photographs, honest dry-snack packs (factory-sealed) all clear without issue. If the parcels are coordinated for a date (reunion weekend), book at least 12–14 days before the date to absorb a customs paperwork day or two.
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.
