Sending a Parcel to Austria

Sending a Parcel to Austria

Movement of people and goods between the UK and Austria means the amount of parcels moving between the two is always increasing. If you are looking to send a parcel to Austria, it is crucial that you take the time to ensure that your goods can be sent, and that you take adequate precautions to keep your items safe and prevent them from getting held up at the border.

Brexit has made changes to how parcels are sent from the UK to EU countries. Read our guide to Brexit Basics here.

Before sending your parcel to Austria, you should:

  • Be aware that the recipient may be asked to pay VAT
  • Some items have a restricted amount that can be sent, make sure you do your research to stop your goods being stopped at customs
  • Take care completing customs documentation to ensure it is accurate
  • Pack your parcel well using strong boxes and bubble wrap to keep your items safe during their journey

Sending Parcels to the EU & Brexit

Sending Parcels to the EU & Brexit

Following Brexit, some changes have come in that will affect you when sending a parcel from the UK to Spain.

A free trade deal has been agreed by the government and the EU, which means that no duties should be applied to your shipment, however, your recipient may be asked to pay VAT at their local rate on the value of your goods and the carriage charge.

All shipments to the EU will now also require a commercial or pro-forma invoice. When you book online with Worldwide Parcel Services, we will automatically generate this for you and send it to your courier. If you are sending as a business, you will be required to enter your EORI number when booking.

What Can I Not Send to Austria?

Wherever in the world you are looking to send a parcel, there will always be limitations around what you can send. Austria and the European Union are no exception to this rule. To enable Austria and the EU to protect their residents and keep pests or dangerous goods out of their borders, there are some items that cannot be sent.

Example items that you cannot send to Spain include:

  • Firearms or ammunition
  • Explosive or radioactive materials
  • Currency
  • Metals, stones or jewellery
  • Playing cards
  • Live plants and animals
  • Human remains
  • Ivory or ivory products
  • Plants
  • Pornographic material
  • Tobacco or tobacco products

Before sending a parcel to Austria

To conclude, there are many everyday items that can be sent to Austria and the EU without problem. However, like every country, Austrian customs do take steps to stop anything potentially dangerous from entering their borders. Before packaging any parcel, make sure that what you are planning to send is not prohibited by customs. You can read the Austrian customs guidance here.
