What you’ll need at pickup.
Dutch customs (Belastingdienst Douane) at Schiphol is among the fastest in the EU. Get the invoice and identifiers right at pickup and parcels move through quickly.
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 KvK (Chamber of Commerce) number for B2B; personal recipient needs BSN (Citizen Service Number). For gifts, a written declaration with stated value.
Prescription (medicines)
Sealed tablets only, with a copy of the doctor’s prescription and registration number. CIBG rules apply — no controlled substances, no liquid medicines, no injectables.
What the Netherlands doesn’t let in.
These are real Belastingdienst Douane 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
- Soft drugs and drug paraphernalia — the Netherlands paradox: cannabis is decriminalised in coffee-shops but PARCELS are zero-tolerance. Pipes, scales, grow-kits, cannabis seeds, CBD oil — all blocked at parcel level.
- Hard drugs — penalties are severe; never attempt.
- Counterfeit goods — luxury and branded counterfeits are seized.
- Pornography of certain categories — flagged at parcel level.
- Weapons and weapon-replicas — even decorative swords and kirpans get flagged.
- Ivory and CITES-listed products — strictly enforced.
- Aerosols, perfumes, lithium >100 Wh — universal courier restriction.
Allowed with care
- Textiles and sarees — block-print, silk, lehengas. Dutch customs handles non-counterfeit textiles cleanly.
- Books and printed material — any topic; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets — declare allergens line by line.
- Prescription tablets — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, EU Rx-equivalent.
- Non-precious jewellery — declare make and value clearly.
- Small electronics, papier-mâché, decorative arts — Dutch art-trade actively appreciates Indian decorative arts; declare model and value.

Asked most often.
How efficient is Schiphol customs?
Among the fastest in the EU. Amsterdam-Schiphol is one of Europe’s biggest air-freight hubs and Belastingdienst Douane has the staffing, technology and process to clear clean parcels in 24–48 hours. The Dutch customs system also plays well with EU TARIC and EORI cross-checking, so a B2B parcel with a valid KvK number on the invoice rarely sees a manual review. The flip side: Schiphol is heavily monitored for drug-trafficking and any vague item description gets a closer look. Be specific on the invoice.
Amsterdam diamond district — Marwari merchant historical link, what’s the routine?
Amsterdam has been a diamond-trade hub since the 17th century, and Marwari/Gujarati merchants have been part of that trade for over a hundred years. Today the lane is mostly documents, valuations, certifications and small sample papers — actual diamonds move on dedicated insured-carrier networks, not consumer courier. The routine for paperwork is: commercial invoice with item descriptions, KYC of sender, KvK (B2B) or BSN (personal) of recipient. Schiphol clears these promptly.
Surinamese-Indian community in Rotterdam — what kind of parcels?
The Surinamese-Indian community (descended from Indian indentured labourers who went to Suriname, then migrated to the Netherlands) is large in Rotterdam-Zuid and Den Haag. Parcels from Udaipur Marwari families to this community are mostly cultural — festival clothing, sealed dry sweets (allergens declared), Hindi/Bhojpuri religious books, decorative items for Diwali and Holi. Care kits to elderly relatives are common. Standard EU Rx and food-allergen rules apply, but the lane runs cleanly.
