Customs when sending to Austria
As Austria is a part of the European Union, shipments that are sent from inside the EU do not have duties and taxes applied – thanks to the EU's commitment to the free movement of goods. When parcels are sent from outside the EU however, there is a low value exemption from duties and taxes for goods that are worth less than €150. Packages that are worth more than this are taxed normally.
Even if you are shipping to Austria from within the EU, you will need to properly complete your customs paperwork. By being clear and descriptive, you will minimise the chances that there is a problem in clearing customs.

Collection & delivery
Courier collection
When you ship with ParcelCompare, we'll collect your parcel on the same day you make your booking at most locations throughout both the UK and Austria.
For shipments that are particularly heavy or bulky we require booking a day in advance. You will also need to help with loading when your courier arrives to collect.
If you have any special requirements for loading your package, such as a pallet truck, you will need to let us know when making your booking.
Austria delivery
Our partner carriers will not make deliveries on public holidays or weekends. That means parcels will only be delivered on normal working days between 9am and 7pm. We can't narrow it down any further, unless you've chosen to use one of our timed delivery services.
We offer signed-for delivery, but some delivery partners will leave parcels in a safe place without requiring a signature. If you require proof of delivery, please upgrade to signed-for delivery while booking your shipment.
Austria parcel tracking
Parcelcompare knows that every parcel we carry is important – that's why we make it easy to follow your parcel, from the point of pick-up all the way through to delivery in Austria. Your parcel is scanned at each stop of its journey, and our tracking system updates with each scan, so you know exactly where your package is every step of the way.
And in the unlikely event that there is a problem with your parcel, we'll notify both you and your recipient by email to explain the problem, and how to go about solving it.
Sending gifts to Austria
Just like shipping a normal parcel to Austria, sending a gift to Austria from within the European Union means that there's no need to worry about duties or taxes. There's a gift exemption for shipments from outside the EU, which means that gifts that are worth less than €45 do not have duties or taxes applied. Gifts worth more than this are treated as normal parcels.
One common mistake when shipping a present to Austria is improperly completing your paperwork. If you just declare that your goods are a “gift”, there may be problems in clearing customs, so be sure to declare the actual nature of your goods.
Large parcel and air freight to Austria
Large and bulky parcels are no problem for Parcelcompare. By working with specialist delivery partners, we make it simple to send even the largest, heaviest parcels to Austria. In fact, as long as it's on a pallet , we can carry goods that are up to 270cm long and as heavy as 1,000kg. All you need to remember is that you'll need to book a day in advance, and be on hand to offer your courier assistance in loading and unloading your package.
Sending food to Austria
Although Austria has plenty of tasty treats on offer, from tafelspitz to germknödel, sometimes there's nothing quite like the taste of home. So if you're tiring of schnitzel, or just really fancy sherbet lemons while you're living in Salzberg, Parcelcompare makes it simple.
Food is one of Parcelcompare's most popular shipments, and we know just how to get it to its destination. There are some special rules to keep in mind, but as long as you keep to the points outlined below you shouldn't have any problems.
What you can send:
Non-perishable foods
Store bought foods with a best before date over 6 months away
Items must be in the original manufacturers packaging and unopened
The food label needs to list all the ingredients
The best before date must be displayed on the packaging
Examples of pershable foods: Crisp and savory foods, Chocolates and candy, Canned foods, Herbs and Spices in sealed containers, tea bags, Jams and other preserves
What you cannot send:
Perishable foods
Foods with a shelf life of less than 6 months
Homemade foods or any foods not in the original manufacturers packaging
Foods that can spoil during transit
Food in packaging that have been opened
Food that does not contain a food label listing the ingredients
Packaging your parcel
With an entire ocean to traverse, it should come as no surprise that your package risks a few bumps or knocks during its journey. To make sure your goods arrive in good condition, you should properly package them.
1. GET A STURDY BOX
It's best to use a new box when shipping, as used boxes could look sturdy while hiding flaws that could make your box burst or be crushed in transit. For goods that weigh more than 10kg, use a double lined box for extra support.
2. PACK THE CONTENTS
Wrap each item individually with plenty of support. Place them in the box and add packaging materials so that no part of your goods are touching the walls of the box. Make sure that nothing moves when shaking the box.
3. SEAL IT UP
Use proper packaging tape, which supports your box. Wrap three times around your box in a Union Flag pattern, and support the corners and joins in particular. Add shipping labels, making sure that all information is clearly visible.
Holidays and gift giving occasions in Austria
There is plenty of reason to celebrate in Austria, and even couriers take a break sometimes. That means if you're sending around the public holidays we've listed below, you'll need to send early to ensure your package arrives before Austria shuts down for the day.
