Before You Ship to Austria

But before you send a parcel to Austria, it’s always important to check the country’s customs regulations, so you don’t send anything that could hold up your parcel. Another way to avoid delays is to make sure you don’t ship on Austria’s public holidays, as this could see your parcel arriving a day or two later than you expected.

Austria Gift Delivery and Customs Duty
When you send a parcel to Austria, you may need to pay EU VAT depending on what your parcel contains, the parcel’s value and the circumstances of why you sent it.
If your postage to Austria is subject to EU VAT, the standard rate is 20%. But there are exceptions to paying EU VAT.
For example, if you’re sending a gift to Austria from one individual to another, i.e. not sent directly from a marketplace or business, that is under the value of €45 (about £39) then it won’t be subject to EU VAT.
Our Top Tip
Find out more about Austria gift delivery and EU VAT in our International Shipping Hub, where we also have lots of helpful information for business senders shipping to the EU too.
Austria Address Format
Addressing a parcel to Austria is similar to how we write addresses in the UK, but don't forget to add the country's name in block capitals on the last line of the address.
Here’s more on how to address a parcel to Austria and here’s just one example to get you started:
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.

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.
