What you’ll need at pickup.
French customs (Douanes Françaises) is generally efficient on EU TARIC paperwork. Get the invoice and identifiers right at pickup and the parcel moves through CDG without fuss.
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 with item, HS code, quantity and value. Recipient SIRET for B2B (Place Vendôme jewellery houses, Faubourg-Saint-Antoine design district) is required; French Numéro Fiscal for personal recipient eases clearance. For gifts, a written declaration with stated value.
Prescription (medicines)
Sealed tablets only, with a copy of the doctor’s prescription and registration number. ANSM rules apply — no controlled substances, no liquid medicines, no injectables.
What France doesn’t let in.
These are real Douanes 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
- Precious metals and bullion — Jaipur gem-traders should note: only NON-PRECIOUS samples (silver-plated brass, costume settings, glass-stone pieces) move on consumer courier. Precious gold/diamond consignments to Place Vendôme need dedicated insured-carrier networks.
- Counterfeit luxury goods — France is HQ to LVMH, Hermès, Chanel; anti-counterfeit cooperation is the strictest in the EU. Even ‘inspired-by’ items get flagged.
- Drug paraphernalia — pipes, scales, grow-kits and similar items are blocked.
- CBD or cannabis products with THC — French law on cannabinoids is restrictive; assume blocked.
- Weapons and edged-decorative items — banned-weapon list catches ornamental swords, kirpans and decorative knives.
- Ivory and animal products — CITES plus France’s additional protections.
- Aerosols, perfumes, lithium >100 Wh — universal courier restriction.
- Items with Nazi iconography — French law (Loi Gayssot) parallels Germany; even foreign-published memorabilia is blocked.
Allowed with care
- Block-print textiles — Bagru and Sanganer hand-block cotton, silk dupattas, lehengas. France’s fashion-import-friendly customs handles non-counterfeit textiles cleanly.
- Non-precious gem-trade samples — silver-plated brass, costume settings, glass stones, semi-precious unmounted samples for Place Vendôme ateliers and Marais boutiques. Declare ‘non-precious sample’ explicitly.
- Books and printed material — any topic; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets — declare allergens; gluten and nut callouts especially.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, EU Rx-equivalent.
- Non-precious jewellery — declare clearly to differentiate from precious.
- Small electronics, papier-mâché, fashion textiles — declare model and value.
Place Vendôme samples, Paris design B2B, Sciences-Po student care.
Gem-trade non-precious samples (Place Vendôme axis)
Place Vendôme is the heart of Paris luxury jewellery — Cartier, Van Cleef, Boucheron, Chaumet all anchor there. Jaipur gem-traders have Place-Vendôme connections going back generations. Non-precious samples (silver-plated brass settings, costume pieces, glass-stone and semi-precious unmounted samples, sample books) move on this lane. Precious gold/diamond consignments are NOT shipped on consumer courier.
Block-print B2B (Faubourg-Saint-Antoine design district)
Faubourg-Saint-Antoine has been Paris’s design-and-furnishings district since the 17th century. Bagru and Sanganer hand-block cotton swatches, sample books and small lots ship to its boutiques. SIRET on the invoice every time.
Non-precious jewellery & costume
Costume jewellery, silver-plated brass, lac bangles and Meenakari-decorated pieces (non-precious) to Marais and Faubourg boutiques.
Wedding outfits
Lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas to Indian-French families across Paris-Île-de-France, Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse — including Sikh-French and the historic Tamil-Pondichéry-French community. Always express.
Marwari B2B documents
Commercial invoices, sample dispatch papers, signed contracts to Marwari traders in the Faubourg-Saint-Denis Indian wholesale district in Paris.
Student care kits
Books, sealed dry snacks, kitchen tools, Indian-grocery basics to Sciences Po, École Polytechnique, Sorbonne and INSEAD. Indian-student presence in France is growing year on year.
Business documents
Commercial invoices, signed contracts, sample dispatch papers to Place Vendôme ateliers and Faubourg design buyers.

Asked most often.
Place Vendôme jewellery samples — what does the lane actually look like?
Real and active, but only for NON-PRECIOUS samples on consumer courier. Place Vendôme ateliers (Cartier, Van Cleef, Boucheron, independent jewellers) source design samples, settings, and reference pieces from Jaipur regularly. The samples that ship on DTDC are silver-plated brass, costume pieces, glass-stones, semi-precious unmounted samples and sample books. With SIRET, commercial invoice and a clear ‘non-precious sample’ description, these clear Paris-CDG cleanly. Precious gold and diamond consignments move on dedicated insured-carrier networks under different paperwork.
Block-print to Faubourg-Saint-Antoine — typical routine?
Faubourg-Saint-Antoine (11th–12th arrondissement, Paris) is the design-and-furnishings district. Bagru and Sanganer block-print houses ship swatch-books and small sample lots regularly. Routine: commercial invoice with item-level descriptions and per-piece values, KYC of the Jaipur sender, SIRET of the receiving Paris business. With those three, Douanes treats it as legitimate B2B sample and clears it inside 48 hours. We have a swatch-book template invoice on file.
Why does France flag counterfeit luxury so hard?
France is the global headquarters of the luxury industry — LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Dior), Hermès, Chanel, Cartier all run anti-counterfeit cooperation directly with Douanes. The result is that France screens incoming parcels for branded-goods more aggressively than any other EU country. Even ‘inspired-by’ items, lookalike logos or unbranded items in branded-style packaging get pulled. If you’re sending Jaipur textiles or non-precious jewellery, keep the descriptions plain (‘cotton block-print scarf’, ‘silver-plated brass earrings’) — never reference a brand name on the invoice.
