How to choose

Which way fits your goods?

You need it fast. Choose express: 2 to 5 working days, door to door.
It is a light parcel and cost matters most. Choose a postal packet. It is the cheapest, and it takes longer.
You ship 21 kg or more. Choose air freight: 5 to 10 days from airport to door.
It is large, heavy and not urgent. Choose sea freight. It costs the least per kilogram.
You are not sure. Send us the goods, the weight and your postcode in Sweden. We quote what fits.

Customs

Customs in Sweden

Swedish Customs (Tullverket) clears imports into Sweden. Imports pay customs duty and import VAT (moms). The rates depend on the product.

A business that imports into the European Union needs an EORI number. Goods clear customs once at the EU border, then move inside the EU with no more customs checks.

Duty paid

Ask for DDP. We clear customs and pay the duty, and you pay one price to the door.

Without DDP, you or your broker clear the goods, and we send the documents.
