- Approx total, express≈ ₹4,300
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
German customs (Zoll) is precise on documentation. Get the invoice and identifiers right at pickup and the parcel moves; get them wrong and Zoll holds it pending clarification. Bhilwara textile-suiting samples are a familiar import category for German fast-fashion buyers.
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 mill-to-buyer suiting samples, a printed invoice with item, HS code, fabric type (polyester / blended), GSM, metres / pieces and value per piece. Recipient EORI for B2B is mandatory; German Steuer-ID for personal recipient helps clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
Sealed tablets only, with a copy of the doctor’s prescription and registration number. BfArM rules apply — no controlled substances, no liquid medicines, no injectables.
What Germany doesn’t let in.
These are real Zoll and EU TARIC rules — not our caution. Items shipped against them are seized, and the consignee usually pays a disposal fee.
Don’t even try
- Nazi or Volksverhetzung-flagged items — even foreign-published books, posters or memorabilia carrying Nazi iconography are blocked under the Volksverhetzung law.
- Weapons and weapon-replicas — Waffengesetz is strict; even decorative swords, kirpans and ornamental knives get flagged.
- Counterfeit branded goods — German consumer-protection enforcement is among the strictest in the EU.
- CBD products — federal restrictions vary; assume blocked unless you have a specific import permit.
- Drug paraphernalia — narcotics-precursor controls flag pipes, scales, and similar items.
- Pornography of certain categories — flagged at parcel level.
- Aerosols, perfumes, lithium >100 Wh — universal courier restriction.
- Traditional fur — EU has carve-outs but Germany enforces strictly.

Asked most often.
How does Bhilwara → Germany compare with Udaipur direct?
Add about a day for the Udaipur feeder — Bhilwara has no airport, so we road-move 165 km to Udaipur same-day, then DTDC International runs the Mumbai/Delhi-Frankfurt air leg. Express lands in 6–8 working days door-to-door versus 5–7 for Udaipur direct. Pricing is the same — pickup from Bhilwara is bundled.
I’m a Bhilwara mill sending suiting samples to Hugo Boss / S.Oliver — what’s the routine?
Standard B2B German-fashion lane. Documents: commercial invoice with HS codes, fabric type (polyester / blended), GSM, fibre content, metres-per-piece and value per piece, KYC, recipient EORI (mandatory for B2B). We handle the paperwork, you provide the sample list and values. Pforzheim, Munich, Frankfurt destination addresses deliver fine; the courier needs the recipient’s direct phone number for last-mile contact.
What triggers a German customs hold?
Three things, mostly. First, an incomplete or vague commercial invoice — Zoll wants to see what each item is, in plain words, with a value. Second, a missing recipient EORI on a B2B shipment — Germany cross-checks EORI numbers against the EU registry. Third, a suspicious item description. We brief you on this at pickup so the parcel doesn’t get caught.
