Germany is a member of European Union which means that are no custom fees when sending a parcel. However there are still items which are prohibited from entering the country.

We recommend you always research what you can and can't send before shipping to Germany.

Alternatively, you can check the Worldwide Parcel Services restricted and prohibited items list here and check the Germany customs information website here.

Some things that are uniquely prohibited include:

• Absinthe
• Religious notations on the address side of articles
• Mobile phones containing lithium
• Lithium batteries
• Playing cards
• Pulverized cocoa beans.

Although we have listed a few, it is still important to check the Germany prohibited items list before sending a parcel with WPS.

When you book with us, we'll send you all the forms you need to fill out and attach to your package so that it easily gets through German customs.
