Greek customs.
Clearance at Athens-Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH), Thessaloniki (SKG) or Heraklion (HER). Greek Customs (ΑΑΔΕ) are generally efficient but a slow paperwork day can add 1–2 days.

- 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.
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. Greece is in the EU — items above €150 attract VAT and possible duty under TARIC.
Recipient AFM
The recipient’s AFM (Greek tax number) on the invoice helps Greek Customs (ΑΑΔΕ) clear the parcel quickly, especially for higher-value items. Medicines fall under EOF regulation — prescription copy mandatory.
What Greece doesn’t let in.
Greece is in the EU and follows TARIC rules, with a few country-specific sensitivities — particularly around antiquities.
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 Athens.
- CITES-listed wildlife items — ivory, certain skins, shahtoosh, rare-wood handicrafts without permit.
- Antiquities-look-alikes — Greek antiquities-export law is strict and inbound parcels declared as antiques may be reviewed; declare reproductions clearly as such.
- Tobacco and novel-tobacco products — vape liquids and heated-tobacco devices are restricted.
Allowed with care
- Auto-component spare parts — Bhiwadi-cluster auto-spare-parts B2B for the smaller Greek aftermarket ships fine with proper commercial invoice and HS codes.
- Textiles, sarees, block-print fabric, papier-mâché — declare a fair value.
- Books and printed material — any topic; Greek-translated Indian philosophy and yoga material is welcomed.
- 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.
Bhiwadi auto-spare-parts B2B, NCR family parcels, weddings.
Bhiwadi auto-component spare-parts B2B
Greece is a smaller market for Indian auto-supply, but the aftermarket and spare-parts trade does take Bhiwadi-cluster components. Athens and Thessaloniki auto-aftermarket importers source non-precision spare parts from Indian fabricators. Clean commercial invoice with HS codes, the Greek importer’s AFM, declared B2B value.
NCR-IT family parcels
Alwar is NCR-spillover (~150 km Delhi). Some Alwar/Bhiwadi residents have family in the small Indian-business community in Athens and Thessaloniki — children’s clothing, regional mithai (sealed factory packs), wedding-card boxes.
Wedding & festival outfits
Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas. Shipped ahead of weddings and Diwali to the small Greek-Indian community.
Crete Sikh-Greek agricultural community
Chania, Heraklion and the surrounding villages have a long-standing Punjabi-Sikh agricultural cohort. Care kits — cooking essentials (no fresh produce), cotton clothing, books, festival items — are a recurring shipment.
Diwali parcels
Diyas, decorations, pooja items, dry sweets in factory packs. Recommend express to land before the festival.
B2B handicraft samples
Block-print fabric, cushion covers, papier-mâché, miniatures. Shipped to Athens design-shop boutiques in Plaka, Kolonaki and Thessaloniki’s Ladadika quarter.
Returning-traveller baggage
Greek tourists who toured the Sariska / Alwar-fort circuit and shopped too much. We pick up from the hotel, pack, ship before they fly home.
Greek-Orthodox-respectful decor
Decorative items chosen with care for households where Greek-Orthodox iconography is central — papier-mâché bowls, brass diyas, neutral textile pieces.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.

Asked most often.
Why does Greece take 7–10 days when the UK and Germany are 5–7?
Greece is on the southern edge of the Schengen zone, and DTDC’s air movement usually trans-ships through a northern hub — Frankfurt, Amsterdam or sometimes Doha — before the leg into Athens. That extra hop adds a working day or two on top of the air leg from Delhi. On top of that, Greek Customs (ΑΑΔΕ) are competent but occasionally slower than Revenue or German Zoll on a busy week. Plan for 7–10 days express; surface economy is 10–15 days.
We ship Bhiwadi auto-spare-parts to Athens aftermarket — does this lane work?
Yes — small but real. Greek auto-aftermarket and spare-parts importers in Athens and Thessaloniki source non-precision components from Indian fabricators, including Bhiwadi tier-2 suppliers. Clean commercial invoice with HS codes, the Greek importer’s AFM, declared B2B value (not a token gift) keeps Greek Customs moving. Door-to-door 7–10 days with the Delhi-feeder.
I have family in the Sikh-Greek farming community in Crete — does delivery there work?
Yes. Crete addresses (Chania, Heraklion, Rethymno and the surrounding villages) deliver via the standard Greek courier last-mile after the parcel clears Athens. Add a working day or two on top of mainland transit for the Athens-to-Crete leg. Care kits — cotton clothing, kitchen essentials (no fresh produce), books, festival items — are routine.
