Shiplink decreases your shipping costs
Shiplink helps companies simplify and streamline their transport management. By consolidating transport solutions and creating better oversight, companies can achieve a more structured approach to managing their shipments – from booking and carrier selection to tracking and cost control.
Important to know when sending parcels outside the EU
Shiplink has many years of experience transporting parcels outside the EU. That is why we have gathered some important points you should know before sending parcels outside the EU.
Extra costs outside the EU
The recipient may need to pay customs duties, import VAT and other fees in the destination country. Which costs apply depends on the country and the shipment.
Preparing to ship to a country outside the EU
If you are sending parcels to a country you have never shipped to before, first learn about the rules and regulations for what you are allowed to ship. With Shiplink you get advice and guidance on what to consider.
Customs & documents
Parcels sent outside the EU may require customs handling, a commercial invoice and details about the contents, value and origin of the goods. Businesses may also need an EORI number.
When your parcel is picked up
The carrier's driver only collects goods from a staffed business address. Signs, an open entrance and clear directions on site make it easier for the driver to find and collect your parcel.
Rules & restrictions
Check the import requirements and rules that apply in the destination country before you send your parcel. The country may require import permits, product labelling, safety documentation or specific customs and origin details. The rules vary by product and country.

How much does it cost to send parcels outside the EU?
The price of sending a parcel outside the EU depends mainly on the destination, the parcel's weight and dimensions and the shipping service you choose. The carrier and delivery option can also affect the price. With Shiplink you enter the parcel details and destination in the price calculator to see the current shipping price and estimated delivery date before you book. When shipping outside the EU, costs in addition to the shipping price may apply, such as customs duties, import VAT and customs handling fees. These depend on the destination, the value and contents of the goods and the destination country's rules, so check which customs and import costs may apply before you send the parcel.
How long does it take to send parcels outside the EU?
The delivery time depends on the destination, the carrier and the shipping service you choose. Express shipping is normally faster than economy shipping, while customs handling and local import requirements can affect the delivery time for shipments outside the EU. With Shiplink's price calculator you can see the estimated delivery date for the available shipping options before you book.
Which carrier should I choose for parcels outside the EU?
The choice of carrier depends on the destination, the parcel's weight and dimensions and how quickly the shipment needs to be delivered. Start with the destination – check which carriers and services deliver to the country you are shipping to. Compare price and delivery time for the available options, and check whether the service includes the customs handling and delivery solution you need. Then choose the carrier and service based on what matters most for your delivery, such as price, delivery time or service.
Do I need to pay customs on my parcel when shipping outside the EU?
When you send goods from Sweden to a country outside the EU, it is an export and the shipment may need to be cleared through customs. As an exporter you normally need to submit an export declaration, yourself or through an agent. Customs duties and import fees are normally paid in the destination country and depend on the destination, the contents and value of the goods and the country's rules. The recipient may therefore need to pay customs duties, import VAT or other fees when the parcel is imported. Check the current rules with Swedish Customs (Tullverket) before you ship.
