Send a parcel to Austria from only £8.09

In 2025, trade in goods and services between Austria and the UK increased by 1.1% (that’s £112 million in current prices). UK government statistics show that total imports and exports between the two countries amounted to a massive £9.9 billion, with Austria accounting for 0.5% of all UK trade.

Austria sits around the low-30s in the ranking of the UK’s trading partners, but with an economic relationship underpinned by people, we should see the rates of shipping from UK to Austria continue to rise.

That’s because (as of 1 January 2024), official Austrian statistics show 10,783 British citizens registered as living in Austria! At the same time, Austria’s own ‘nationals abroad’ estimates suggest that around 45,000 Austrian citizens now live in the UK. When you want to send a parcel to Austria, it might be gifts for friends or presents for family; in either case, citizens on both sides of the border, shipping parcels home, have played a part in this trade boom.

But so have e-commerce links – Austria’s online retail market is forecast to reach roughly €12.2 billion in 2025, with online shopping now accounting for 15.5% of all retail-related consumer spending. If you’re shipping to Austria, it may well be to customers! Around 49.5% of Austrian B2C e-commerce revenue comes from international sales, with around 9% of cross-border spend coming from the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to deal with customs when sending from the UK to Austria?

Yes: in most cases, you do need to deal with customs to send a parcel to Austria. As the UK is now outside the EU customs union, any goods travelling between the countries are treated as exports and imports. That means a customs declaration is required, even if you’re an individual sending private gifts to family or friends.

All parcel deliveries to Austria will be assessed for import VAT and, if the value is high enough, customs duty. Austria normally charges 20% import VAT on most goods, with reduced rates for certain categories (such as food, books, and pharmaceuticals). If you’re a business regularly shipping from the UK to Austria, you’ll also need a UK EORI number.

What items can I send to Austria?

You can send most everyday items from the UK to Austria. Items like clothes, shoes, books, documents, toys, small electronics, household goods and other non-hazardous gifts or online orders are usually fine, as long as they’re packaged according to the right standards (and within your carrier’s limits).

Where you need to be careful is with goods that are prohibited or restricted. Rules on sending postage to Austria from UK (which can be found here) ban or limit specific categories, particularly alcohol, tobacco products, medicines, live plants and animals, and some foodstuffs.

How should I address my parcel for delivery to Austria?

Write the recipient’s full name on the first line. On the next line, write the street name followed by the house number (with no commas or punctuation between them). The line after that should contain the four-digit Austrian postcode, followed by the town or city name, usually written in capitals. When you want to send a parcel to Austria, here’s an example:

Franz Huber
Beethovenstrasse 12
1010 WIEN
