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.
- Books and printed material — any topic; declare title and value.

Mayo alumni care, Sufi gifts, returning-traveller baggage.
Mayo College alumni Warsaw / Kraków care kits
Mayo College’s old-boy network includes alumni and their families settled in Warsaw and Kraków (IT/BPO postings, medical-school staff). Care parcels — books, kurtas, factory-sealed dry sweets, school memorabilia, festival items — ship around alumni reunion calendars and Diwali.
Sufi-devotee gifts to Poland-Muslim community
Ajmer is the seat of the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti dargah and the most important Indian Sufi pilgrimage site. Poland’s small Muslim community includes Sufi-order families with devotional links to Ajmer; chadars (non-precious decorative cloth), Sufi devotional books, prayer beads, framed Arabic 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-Polish families and Warsaw / Kraków design-shop boutiques. Declare materials and a fair value.
Returning-traveller baggage
Polish tourists who shopped in Ajmer-Pushkar or stopped on a Rajasthan tour — picked up from the hotel, packed, 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-Polish families.

Asked most often.
Sufi devotional items to a Polish Sufi-order family — any issue?
Generally fine. Declare items as ‘religious / devotional’ on the invoice with a fair value. Avoid anything that could read as a CITES-listed material (no shahtoosh, no rare-wood frames without permit). Chadars (non-precious decorative cloth), Sufi books, framed Arabic calligraphy and prayer beads clear without issue. Polish Customs at Warsaw-Chopin handle religious-item parcels routinely.
Mayo College alumni reunion in Warsaw — 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 Warsaw and Kraków. Books, school memorabilia, kurtas, framed photographs, factory-sealed dry-snack packs all clear without issue. If parcels are coordinated for a date (reunion weekend), book at least 12–14 days before to absorb a customs paperwork day.
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.
