Can I send sports and outdoor gear to Germany?

Conditions apply

Yes, with conditions.

Gear is fine. No gas canisters, flares, or fuel. Weapons and ammunition need approval or are banned.

For every Onvoyo box: No fuel canisters, flares, bear spray or pepper spray. Clean off soil and plant matter first.

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
