Before You Ship to Malta
We will send you all the paperwork you need for your parcel to breeze through customs, but before you post to Malta, we recommend checking the country’s customs website. That means you can be sure you don’t include any items that are restricted in Malta, which could hold up your parcel’s arrival.
It’s also a good idea to avoid sending a parcel to Malta on Maltese public holidays and non-working days (Saturday and Sunday), as shipping on these days could delay your parcels arrival.
Have peace of mind that your parcel will arrive safely and on time when you post to Malta with Parcel2Go.

Malta Customs and EU VAT
As Malta is a part of the EU, you may be required to pay EU VAT when you send a parcel across the border. But there are a few exceptions. Your parcel will be exempt from EU VAT if all of the below points apply to you:
You’re shipping from one individual to another, not directly from a marketplace like Amazon or eBay
Your item is a gift - not sent as part as a business transaction
The total value of your parcel is under €45 (around £40)
If this doesn’t apply to you, then it’s good to know that the standard EU VAT rate for Malta is 18%. This may vary depending on the contents of your item, but don’t worry, you can calculate the full cost of posting to Malta during the booking process.
And if you want to ship to Malta as a business, we’ve got lots of helpful information for business senders too.

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.
