Shipping to Hungary

Important customs and shipping information

VAT & Duties (EU)

VAT Rate: 27%

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

Hungary (EU, VAT 27%) has the highest VAT rate in the EU, so import VAT will be 27%.

Prohibited items: Hungary adheres to EU prohibitions (no weapons, drugs, etc.). Additionally, Hungary is strict on cultural items (art, antiques) similar to others. Do not mail pharmaceuticals; Hungarian customs will seize unauthorized medicine. Alcohol and tobacco are also not to be shipped without proper excise handling.

Duty free rules: €150 duty waiver (until change), €45 gift as usual.

Delivery: Provide a phone number; delivery couriers often call to arrange drop-off, especially in apartment buildings. In Hungary, addresses have the street name followed by number and building info – double-check spelling of street names (which can be long and use accents). Once the parcel arrives in Hungary, any VAT/duty owed is typically handled with the local courier—often via a payment link or at delivery—so make sure the recipient expects possible charges.

Hungary 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.

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 Hungary and is handed to GLS Hungary (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.
