Customs and VAT Information
When you send a parcel abroad, you’ll need to include certain documentation for your parcel to pass seamlessly through customs. This includes a commercial invoice and sometimes other paperwork. We will send you all the customs declarations you need once you book your parcel with DPD Online.
VAT rates vary depending on the country you’re shipping to. There are exceptions to having to pay tax and duties - for example if you’re sending a gift to the EU that is valued below €45 (about £38), you won’t have to pay EU VAT.
All parcels sent with DPD Online are sent with Delivery Duties Unpaid (DDU), which means your recipient may have to pay for tax and duties for their parcel to be released from customs. The only exception to this is if you use Import-One-Stop-Shop (IOSS) - for example if you’re shipping from a marketplace or as a business.
