03 — Rate band, Alwar → Poland

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-supplier component sample for the Volkswagen-Poznań engineering team:

  • 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. 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 (VW-Poznań-supplier, Fiat-Tychy-supplier), the NIP is required. Medicines fall under URPL regulation — prescription copy mandatory.

05 — Poland-specific restrictions

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.

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

  • Auto-component samples — Bhiwadi-VW-Poznań-supplier / Fiat-Tychy-supplier B2B ships fine with proper commercial invoice, HS codes and Polish OEM-supplier NIP.
  • 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, 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 → Poland

Bhiwadi-VW-Poznań B2B, NCR-IT families, weddings.

Bhiwadi auto-component B2B to Volkswagen-Poznań / Fiat-Tychy

This is the headline Alwar–Poland lane. Volkswagen Poznań and Fiat Tychy are major auto plants in Poland, and their tier-1/tier-2 supply chains routinely source non-precision components from Indian clusters including Bhiwadi. Bench-test parts, tooling drawings, ISO/IATF audit packs, sample QA reports — all routine. Express tracked international with the Polish OEM-supplier’s NIP and engineering contact on the invoice.

Bhiwadi-VW-Poznań-supplier B2B documentation

PPAP documents, supplier-quality reports, IMDS material data, audit packs — express tracked international. Polish customs at WAW or KRK clears clean B2B paperwork in 48–72 hours.

NCR-IT family parcels

Alwar is NCR-spillover (~150 km Delhi). Many Alwar/Bhiwadi residents have family at Capgemini Kraków, Accenture Warsaw, IBM Wrocław. Children’s clothing, regional mithai (sealed factory packs), wedding-card boxes.

Wedding & festival outfits

Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas, jewellery boxes (non-precious). Shipped ahead of weddings and Diwali to Indian-Polish families.

Diwali parcels

Diyas, decorations, pooja items, dry sweets in factory packs. Recommend express to land before the festival.

Warsaw-Indian-medical-student care kits

Medical Universities of Warsaw, Łódź, Lublin, Poznań, Wrocław run English-medium MBBS programmes that draw a large Indian student cohort. October-intake care kits — bedsheets, kitchen tools (no wood), sealed snacks, prescription tablets — are a peak-season recurring shipment.

Returning-traveller baggage

Polish 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 to Warsaw boutiques

Block-print fabric, cushion covers, papier-mâché, miniatures. Shipped to Warsaw and Kraków design-shop boutiques.

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 Poland shipments

Asked most often.

We’re a Bhiwadi auto-component supplier shipping samples to Volkswagen Poznań — how does this lane work?

It’s one of our routine B2B lanes. Volkswagen Poznań (the LCV plant) and Fiat Tychy are major Polish auto operations and their tier-1/tier-2 supply chains regularly source non-precision components from Indian clusters including Bhiwadi. What works: clean itemised commercial invoice with HS codes, the Polish OEM-supplier’s NIP and the receiving engineer’s name and direct phone, declared B2B value (not a token gift value), and EUR-priced commercial reference. With those basics, Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa clears in 48–72 hours and last-mile to the Poznań plant or Tychy area is next-business-day. Door-to-door on express: 6–8 days from Bhiwadi factory.

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.

Care kits for an Indian medical student in Warsaw or Wrocław — what’s the right time?

October is peak intake at Polish medical universities (Warsaw, Łódź, Lublin, Poznań, Wrocław), and the few weeks around it are when most family parcels go out. Plan a 10–14 day buffer before move-in if you can. Standard contents — bedsheets, cotton kurtas, prescription tablets (sealed strip with prescription), kitchen tools (no wood), sealed snacks — clear without issue. Indian-restaurant supply documents are sometimes added to the same parcel for student-association events; that’s also fine.
