Buy Indian Sweets Online in Europe
Indian sweets sold in Europe have usually come by sea and sat for months. Mithai made to order in India and flown out the same week is a different product, and you can taste which one you have.
How it reaches Europe
Made to order in India, handed to DHL Express and flown out the same day. Delivery to Europe takes 3 to 5 business days, door to door, across Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Austria, Belgium, Spain and Denmark. Every customs charge is prepaid, so nothing is owed on arrival.
EU customs, in plain terms
Commercially packaged, shelf-stable vegetarian food clears into the EU routinely when declared properly. Dairy is the one category with restrictions, so ghee and khoya sweets are limited while dairy-free namkeen, dry-fruit sweets, chikki and pickles pass without issue. Everything ships Delivered Duty Paid, so import VAT is settled before the parcel moves and nothing is owed at the door. Switzerland is handled separately as it sits outside the EU customs union.
How long it keeps
Milk sweets one to two weeks. Ghee laddus two to three. Dry-fruit sweets and chikki a month or more. Namkeen three to four weeks from frying. Pickles three to six months. Delivery sits comfortably inside all of it.
What it costs
Expect $17 to $40 for a proper 250g to 500g box. Minimum order is $100, and over $100 shipping is free with duties covered, which is why most families order six or eight things together rather than one box.
