Ship parcels to Greece

Greece (EU, VAT 24%) has the same import rules, but sometimes slower customs processing compared to northern Europe.

Prohibited items: Standard EU banned items (weapons, drugs, etc.) apply. Greece also restricts import of archaeological artifacts or ancient coins – obviously, one shouldn't ship antiquities, but even replicas might raise eyebrows. If you're sending something like old books or art, make sure it's clearly declared (to distinguish from actual antiquities). Food items: Greece has agricultural restrictions; for example, don't send olive plants or olive products that aren't commercially sealed, due to pest concerns.

Duties: Standard thresholds. Greek customs will charge VAT 24% on non-gift goods over €45. They might also charge a small fee for processing (customs presentation fee) on parcels – a few euros that the carrier passes on.

Delivery: GLS and partners handle most parcels. Greek addresses can be long; ensure you include the district or area. We ship mainland Greece only—no islands. Advise recipients in Greece to be responsive; sometimes customs might require them to provide AFM (tax ID) or an ID number for clearance if it's a high-value shipment. This is more common for business shipments.
