Before You Ship to Sweden
When shipping to Sweden from the UK, we always recommend checking the country’s customs regulations to ensure you don’t send any restricted items that could hold up your parcel. It’s also a good idea to avoid posting to Sweden on non-working days (Saturday and Sunday) and national holidays, as this will delay your parcel.

Do I have to Pay Customs for a Package from the UK to Sweden?
As Sweden is a part of the EU and the UK no longer is, you may have to pay customs charges depending on what you’re sending and its value.
You can avoid additional charges when you send a parcel to Sweden if the package is a gift under the value of €45 (about £40). The total value must be under €45, which means the cost of the items inside the package plus the cost of shipping.
Find out more about sending gifts to the EU with our handy flowchart.
If your item is over €45 then you may need to pay EU VAT, which for Sweden will generally be 25% on most goods, 12% on foodstuffs and 6% on printed goods such as books.

Sweden Address Format
When addressing your postage to Sweden from the UK, it’s good to know that the street number comes after the street name and that you’ll need an ISO-2 code before the postcode and locality. Here’s a quick guide for how to addressing a parcel to Sweden - an example address would look like.
EU Customs Changes: What the New €3 Duty Means for Your Shipments
From 1 July 2026, the EU is introducing a flat €3 customs duty on individual items valued under €150, shipped from outside the EU. Crucially, the charge applies per product type within a parcel — not per parcel. Send a package containing a shirt, a phone case and a book, and you're looking at €9 in duty, not €3.
What you need to know:
Ship before 1 July 2026 to avoid the new charges on eligible consignments
Shipments over €150 are not subject to this flat levy — but will still need to pay standard customs duty rates
Private gifts between individuals valued under €45 remain exempt — find out more about customs & VAT
Business senders should use Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) at checkout — this settles all duties upfront so your recipient receives their parcel without unexpected charges at the door
For businesses and eCommerce sellers shipping regularly to EU customers, the per-item duty structure means costs can stack up quickly. Using DDP keeps the delivery experience smooth for your customers and reduces the risk of parcels being held at customs due to unpaid charges.

Alcohol, unless sent to a business address
Batteries
Medications and medical equipment
Money, cards, cheques
Perishable or fresh foods
For a full list of all the items you cannot ship to Sweden from the UK, check out our prohibited items list before you send your parcel. This is really important because if you do send something that is prohibited in Sweden, there’s a good chance it will be destroyed at customs and you could receive a fine.
What Are the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR)?
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) came into effect on 13 December 2024, introducing updated product safety requirements for goods sold or shipped to the EU and Northern Ireland (NI).
If you're a UK business or online seller sending parcels internationally, the regulations may apply to your shipment. One of the main requirements is appointing a Responsible Person based in the EU or NI to oversee product compliance and safety. Products and packaging may also need to meet updated GPSR labelling requirements before they can be placed on the market.
Checking whether your goods comply with GPSR before booking international delivery can help avoid delays, returns or customs issues.
