Sending a parcel to Germany does not need to be complicated. Thanks to the rise of giants like DHL, UPS and DPD, sending a parcel to Germany can be as easy and affordable as sending one in the UK. If you book your parcel to Germany with Worldwide Parcel Services, you can benefit from prices as low as £12.94, and have your parcel delivered in as little as 1 days!

However, if you are planning to send a parcel to Germany, the added distance means that there are additional rules that must be taken into consideration. Read on to find out what you can and can’t send to Germany.

Sending a Parcel to Germany

Sending a Parcel to Germany

Germany is a prominent trade hub within the EU, and so it is not surprising that it is an incredibly popular destination for both businesses and individuals to send parcels to. If you are looking to send a parcel to Germany, 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 keep them from getting held up at the border.

Brexit has affected how parcels are sent from the UK to EU countries. Read our guide to Brexit basics here.

Before sending your parcel to Germany, you should:

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

See below a list of items that you CAN send to Germany:

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 Germany.

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 need to pay VAT at their local rate based 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.

You can find out more about Brexit and shipping to the EU here.

What Can I Not Send to Germany

Regardless of where in the world you are sending a parcel to, there will be limitations and restrictions as to what you can send in a parcel. Germany and the wider European Union are no exception to this rule. To enable Germany to protect their residents and keep potential pests from other countries out of their borders, there are some items that cannot be sent.

Example items that you cannot send to Germany include:

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

Before Sending a Parcel to Germany

To summarise, many everyday items can be sent into the EU and Germany without a problem, however, like every destination, German customs do take steps to keep anything potentially harmful out of their borders. Before packaging any parcel, make sure that what you are planning to send to Germany is not prohibited by customs. You can read the German customs guidance here.
