Send a parcel to Denmark from only £9.24

When you consider the steady flow of parcel traffic shipping from UK to Denmark, it should come as no surprise that we’ve seen a 9% increase in cross-country trade. UK–Denmark trade in goods and services reached about £18.6 billion in the four quarters to the end of Q2 2025, up from around £10.1 billion in 2015 – a massive increase that means Denmark now ranks as the UK’s 23rd largest trading partner.

But what goods are shipping to Denmark? The UK sells everything from refined oil and electricity to advanced metal manufactures and mechanical power generators, plus a portfolio of professional and consulting services. It’s also physical goods between private individuals: Statistics Denmark data cited in evidence to the UK Parliament suggest that around 19,000 British citizens were living in Denmark at the start of 2020.

UK Census-based estimates indicate that nearly 25,000 UK residents were born in Denmark – that’s tens of thousands of people with friends and family who rely on couriers to send a parcel to Denmark. You’ll also find plenty of e-commerce ties between the two countries. Denmark is one of Europe’s most digitally mature markets: internet penetration is close to 98%, and by 2019, about 62% of Danes were already shopping online. For UK retailers, this is especially interesting because the UK is a favourite overseas destination for Danish online buyers. So, to ensure cost-effective parcel delivery to Denmark, you need a way to compare top couriers and find the best rates.

How much does it cost to send a parcel from the UK to Denmark?

As with delivery estimates, there isn’t a single flat rate for postage to Denmark from UK. It depends on the parcel’s weight, dimensions, service speed and if you want extras like higher cover or express delivery. Prices for EU destinations, including Denmark, start from £9.24 for a basic door-to-door courier service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to send a parcel to Denmark?

The estimated arrival time for shipping to Denmark depends on several logistical factors: the delivery speed you paid for, the route, the shipping method, and uncontrollable factors like peak seasons or weather conditions. Generally, you can expect a shipment to arrive in 3–7 working days.

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

Yes – to send a parcel to Denmark, every shipment of goods needs a customs declaration, even if you’re just sending a gift to a friend. Since the UK left the EU, Denmark now treats parcels from Great Britain as imports from a ‘third country’.

Carriers like Royal Mail state that customs forms are now mandatory for items sent from the UK to overseas destinations, with CN22/CN23 declarations required for gifts and goods (including items shipping to Denmark).

What items can I send to Denmark?

You can send most non-dangerous items from the UK to Denmark with us (such as clothing, shoes, books, toys), so long as they’re not prohibited by standard EU rules (for restricted items, the shipper must hold the relevant certificates or licences). For more information, visit the Danish Customs website.

How should I address my parcel for delivery to Denmark?

Successful parcel delivery to Denmark requires the shipper to pay close attention to addressing standards. The basic structure we recommend is: recipient’s full name on the first line, street name followed by house number on the second, the four-digit postcode and town or city on the next line, and ‘DENMARK’ in capital letters on the last line.

Here’s an example:

Mette Jensen
Stenmaglevej 6
DK-2700 BRØNDBY
DENMARK
