Shipping to Denmark

Important customs and shipping information

VAT & Duties (EU)

VAT Rate: 25%

Gift Threshold: Up to €45 (private-to-private gifts)

Duty-Free Threshold: Up to €150 ⚠️ EU duty-free threshold changes to €0 on July 1, 2026

Additional Information

Denmark (EU member, VAT 25%) has some of the highest VAT in the EU, so import VAT charges can be significant (25% of item value). Make sure the recipient expects this to avoid surprise.

Restrictions: Denmark follows EU rules closely. They have strict weapons laws, knives with certain blade mechanisms (switchblades, butterfly knives) are prohibited. Don't send any self-defense items like pepper spray (illegal in DK). Alcohol above certain percentages can't be mailed without license (and as gifts only small quantities); even though it is technically possible with licenses, Polimark—like most shippers—does not accept alcohol in parcels.

Duty free rules: Standard EU thresholds. Denmark is known for efficiently clearing parcels; most shipments from Canada clear within a day if paperwork is in order. Greenland & Faroe Islands: We do not ship to Greenland or the Faroe Islands; mainland Denmark only.

Delivery: Provide a Danish phone number and email; recipients often get SMS/email prompts to pay VAT or arrange delivery. Delivery time ~5 days to Copenhagen, maybe up to 7 for Jutland or smaller towns.

Denmark is an EU member state. For complete EU shipping guidelines, prohibited items, and packaging requirements, view our EU Shipping Guide .

We do not ship alcohol, tobacco, prescription medicines, cannabis, or similar restricted goods. Mainland delivery only; island deliveries are not available.

Delivery & Pickup in Denmark (GLS)

Parcels ship via GLS's European network with final-mile by GLS Denmark. Mainland delivery only; island deliveries are not available.

Delivery pattern

  • Track & Trace plus GLS app notifications; the app can alert you for ParcelShop readiness or out-for-delivery status.
  • Signature release options let GLS leave parcels at a chosen spot (power of attorney) even if you are not home.
  • ParcelShop delivery is common across Denmark, alongside standard door-to-door delivery.
  • Mainland delivery only; island deliveries are not available.

Signature release authorisation

  • Permanent authorisation via MitID: order online; GLS provides a sign to place at the drop spot so they can deliver without a receipt.
  • One-off authorisation: written note (name, signature, date, parcel number) or contact GLS when the parcel is in their care.
  • Start here: https://gls-group.com/DK/en/signature-release-authorise/

Need help with tracking or delivery?

Your Polimark tracking number works from Canada all the way through final delivery. In most cases, this is the only tracking number you'll ever need.


How local delivery tracking works (rarely needed)

Once your parcel reaches Denmark and is handed to GLS Denmark (the local final-mile carrier), a local courier tracking ID may be generated. This local ID is automatically linked to your Polimark tracking behind the scenes.

  • Most customers never need to use this local tracking ID.
  • Polimark remains your primary point of contact for tracking updates and delivery questions.

When would I need the local tracking ID?

Only in uncommon situations, for example:

  • A recipient wants to manually change a delivery date
  • A pickup point selection needs to be adjusted directly with the local carrier

If that ever happens, just contact us and we'll provide the local tracking ID for you.
