03 — Rate band, Alwar → Ireland

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.

Starting per-kg rates

  • Express (6–8 days, door)from ₹1,400 / kg
  • Economy (9–14 days, door)from ₹1,050 / kg
  • Min billable weight0.5 kg
  • Pickup from AlwarFree at 5 kg+

Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.

Worked example

A 2 kg parcel — say a Bhiwadi medical-device-OEM B2B sample box for a Galway medtech 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.

04 — Customs & documentation

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, HS codes 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 (Bhiwadi-medtech / food-processing-equipment B2B), an EORI number is required. Medicines fall under HPRA regulation — prescription copy mandatory.

05 — Ireland-specific restrictions

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.

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

  • Medical-device-OEM samples — Bhiwadi-supplier B2B for Irish medtech buyers ships fine with proper commercial invoice and HS codes.
  • Food-processing-equipment components — Bhiwadi-supplier B2B for Irish food-processing-equipment OEMs is routine; declare clearly as components, not finished food.
  • 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.
06 — What goes Alwar → Ireland

Bhiwadi medical-device & food-equipment B2B, Dublin diaspora, weddings.

Bhiwadi medical-device-OEM B2B samples

Ireland is a medtech hub — Galway in particular hosts a dense cluster of medical-device OEMs (Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Stryker). Bhiwadi-supplier components for medical-device-OEM B2B ship fine with proper commercial invoice and HS codes; declared B2B value and EORI required. Dublin clearance at Revenue typically 24–48 hours.

Bhiwadi food-processing-equipment B2B

Irish food-processing-equipment OEMs source non-precision components from Bhiwadi. Bench-test parts, tooling drawings, ISO/IATF audit packs, sample QA reports — all routine. Express tracked international with the Irish company’s EORI on the invoice.

NCR-IT family parcels to Dublin tech cluster

Alwar is NCR-spillover (~150 km Delhi). Many Alwar/Bhiwadi residents have family in the Dublin tech cluster (Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Salesforce). Care kits include kitchen tools, festival clothing, kids’ school supplies, sealed snacks. Apartment addresses in Lucan, Tallaght, Sandyford, Citywest, Adamstown are weekly destinations.

Wedding & festival outfits

Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings and 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.

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.

Returning-traveller baggage

Irish tourists who toured the Sariska / Alwar-fort circuit and shopped too much. We pick up from the hotel, pack, ship before they fly home.

B2B handicraft samples

Block-print fabric, cushion covers, papier-mâché, miniatures. Shipped to Dublin design-shop boutiques and small importers.

07 — Tracking & proof of delivery

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.

08 — Three questions about Ireland shipments

Asked most often.

We’re a Bhiwadi medical-device-component supplier shipping samples to Galway — does this work?

Yes — and Ireland is one of the genuinely active B2B lanes for Bhiwadi precision and medical-device fabricators. Galway hosts Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Stryker and a dense supply chain. What works: clean itemised commercial invoice with HS codes, the Irish company’s EORI and the receiving engineer’s name and direct phone, declared B2B value, and a clear note on intended use (component sample / bench test). Revenue clears in 24–48 hours, last-mile to Galway is next-business-day after clearance. Door-to-door: 6–8 days from Bhiwadi factory.

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.

What’s a realistic transit, Alwar to Dublin?

6–8 working days for express, door-to-door, in normal conditions. Alwar is NCR-spillover — ~150 km from Delhi — so the surface-to-Delhi feeder runs the same evening as pickup. Air leg via Schengen trans-shipment takes 2–3 days; Revenue typically clears clean parcels in 24–48 hours; last-mile via An Post or DPD adds a day. For Cork or Galway, no extra day if scheduled correctly through Dublin.
