Before you ship to Germany

Tax-free limit: From another EU country, there is no customs clearance and nothing to pay on arrival. From outside the EU (including the UK), there is no tax-free threshold. Import VAT has applied from the first euro since the old €22 exemption ended on July 1, 2021, and the €150 customs duty exemption ended on July 1, 2026. Gifts sent by one private person to another, worth up to €45 (about $53) per box, remain free of duty and import VAT.
Receiver ID: No national ID or tax number is needed for a private shipment. Private individuals also don't need an EORI customs number unless they make customs declarations regularly (10 or more a year). The courier may ask for a phone number and email to arrange payment.
Transit: 1-3 business days within the EU; 2-5 from the UK or North America; 3-7 from Asia
