German customs – shipping advice
When you send a package to Germany from the USA you will be required to provide a customs declaration form outlining the contents of your package and the value of the items you’re sending. However, this will be taken care of during the Parcel Monkey booking process, so all you need to do is print the completed customs form and attach it to your package.
German customs will check packages to ensure items have been declared correctly, so please ensure you provide an accurate description and value for your items. See our customs advice for more information on getting your package safely through customs.
Will I pay customs duty on packages to Germany from the USA?
