Customs duties and taxes in Germany

  • Germany applies EU customs rules; parcels are cleared by German customs (Zoll). Import VAT (19% standard rate in Germany) is due on every parcel from the first euro.
  • For consumer orders up to €150, VAT can be collected at checkout through the EU's Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS). Marketplaces such as Etsy or Amazon usually do this and give you an IOSS number to put on the shipment; otherwise the recipient pays VAT and a carrier fee on delivery.
  • Since 1 July 2026 the EU charges a flat €3 customs duty per item on parcels under €150. Goods in free circulation in Turkey keep their customs-union preference: with an A.TR movement certificate, eligible parcels are exempt from this duty.
  • Above €150, normal EU duty rates apply — but industrial goods from Turkey with an A.TR certificate are generally duty-free under the EU–Turkey customs union (agricultural products are treated differently).

Checked in October 2026. Customs rules change, so check the current rules before you ship.

Address format for Germany

  • German addresses put the street name before the house number (e.g. Hauptstraße 5) and the 5-digit postcode before the city (e.g. 10115 Berlin).
  • For deliveries to a DHL Packstation, write "Packstation" with its number and the recipient's DHL customer number (Postnummer).
  • Use "c/o" when the recipient's name isn't on the letterbox — undeliverable parcels are often returned.

Restricted items and product rules for Germany

  • Meat, dairy products and most plant products (seeds, live plants, fresh fruit) cannot be sent to consumers in the EU.
  • Toys, electronics and cosmetics must meet EU product-safety rules (e.g. CE marking for toys and electronics, an EU responsible person for cosmetics).
  • Medicines, alcohol and tobacco products have their own import rules — check with the carrier before shipping them.
  • Selling regularly to German consumers? The packaging you ship must be registered in the LUCID packaging register (VerpackG), and electrical products need a WEEE registration (stiftung ear) — marketplaces check both.

Documents for your shipment

  • Prepare a commercial invoice with a clear description, quantity and value for each item.
  • Use the correct HS code (GTİP) for your products — wrong codes are a common cause of customs delays.
  • Add the recipient's phone number and email; carriers use them to arrange delivery and customs payments.
  • Import duties and taxes are usually paid by the recipient, unless the shipment is sent duties-paid (DDP).
  • For micro-export (ETGB) shipments, Kargobaz manages the ETGB process together with its partners and provides the required documents.

Customs rules and thresholds for Germany can change; check with the carrier or the customs authority for your specific shipment.
