Automated EU customs: IOSS and GPSR compliance made simple
Expanding your reach into the European Union brings valuable sales, but post-Brexit cross-border rules can lead to delayed deliveries or unexpected charges at the border. Smart Send eliminates international shipping friction by generating digital customs documents automatically during checkout.
IOSS data, filled in for you
When fulfilling European orders, Etsy automatically collects VAT on qualifying sales up to €150 and provides an Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) number. Smart Send pulls this marketplace IOSS data directly into your electronic customs manifest, proving to EU border authorities that tax has already been paid so your customers avoid double-taxation fees on delivery.
HS codes and item descriptions saved
Smart Send also stores your harmonised tariff (HS) codes and detailed item descriptions, ensuring complete commercial invoice data is submitted with every cross-border parcel.
Built to support GPSR
Alongside Etsy's General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) listing rules, Parcel2Go provides the digital customs backbone you need to keep your parcels moving smoothly across European borders.
Bulk label printing for custom, fragile, and irregular parcels
Unlike uniform retail stock, Etsy products come in every shape and size, from delicate ceramics and framed prints to rolled canvases and hand-turned wooden furniture. Measuring and weighing individual orders one by one wastes valuable workshop time.
Smart Send lets you create automated rules in Rule Manager based on item names, item values, or parcel weights. Once set up, the system pre-fills your package types and assigns your preferred courier automatically upon import:
Rule setup 1: Small crafts and letterbox items (under 1kg)
Condition: Weight is less than or equal to 1kg, and Item Value is under £30.
Action: Assign Service to Evri Postable (or Royal Mail Tracked 48) for fast, cost-effective drop-off at local lockers or Post Office branches.
Rule setup 2: Fragile, high-value, or express orders
Condition: Item Value is greater than £50, or Item Name contains Express.
Action: Assign Service to DPD Next Day, providing your buyer with a 1-hour delivery window via DPD Predict and full milestone tracking.
Rule setup 3: Bulky, awkward, or heavy parcels (up to 2.2m and 30kg)
Condition: Length is greater than 100cm, or Weight is greater than 5kg.
Action: Assign Service to DX Delivery or Parcelforce Worldwide, with a doorstep courier collection booked straight from your workspace.
If a customer orders multiple items or you need to divide an order, Smart Send lets you group parcels going to the same address or split an order across multiple boxes with individual tracking labels.

Frequently asked questions about shipping Etsy orders
What is the cheapest way to ship from Etsy?
The cheapest way to ship orders is to compare couriers dynamically based on parcel dimensions and delivery urgency rather than paying standard retail postal rates. By using Smart Send, sellers access discounted commercial rates starting from £1.99 exc. VAT, backed by our Lowest Price Guarantee. Economical services like Evri Postable and Royal Mail Tracked 48 allow you to dispatch smaller crafts and accessories at substantial savings.
Which delivery company does Etsy use in the UK?
Etsy does not have an exclusive delivery partner in the UK, giving sellers the flexibility to dispatch with any reliable carrier. Most UK Etsy sellers use integrated networks including Royal Mail, Evri, DPD, Yodel, and Parcelforce Worldwide. Connecting your store to Smart Send lets you access all of these carriers in one place without signing individual contracts.
How does Smart Send handle EU IOSS and GPSR requirements for Etsy?
When fulfilling orders to the European Union, Smart Send automatically extracts Etsy's IOSS tax number and includes it in the digital customs manifest. This electronically confirms to EU border authorities that VAT was collected at checkout, preventing your buyers from facing unexpected customs handling charges. Smart Send also records accurate product descriptions and sender compliance data to support GPSR requirements.
Does Smart Send update tracking to protect my Etsy Star Seller status?
Yes. The moment you purchase a label through Smart Send, the courier tracking reference number and carrier name sync directly back to your Etsy account. This automatically marks the order as dispatched and records verified tracking within Etsy's required dispatch timeframe, helping maintain your on-time shipping score for Star Seller eligibility.
How do I ship fragile, bulky, or oversized handmade items?
For bulky crafts, ceramics, or oversized home decor, Smart Send provides access to specialist heavy and irregular parcel carriers. Services like DX Delivery accept parcels up to 2.2m in length and 30kg, while Parcelforce Worldwide handles heavy consignments up to 30kg. You can book doorstep courier collections so you never have to transport heavy boxes to drop-off points.
Can I connect multiple Etsy shops to Smart Send?
Yes. If you run multiple Etsy storefronts or sell across other marketplaces like eBay, Amazon, or Shopify, Smart Send lets you link them all to a single account. Incoming orders import into one unified dashboard, allowing you to print labels in bulk and keep inventory dispatches organised in one place.
