Greece is a founding member of the United Nations and was the tenth member to join the EU. Shipping to Greece is particularly advantageous, as the country is strategically situated between three major continents: Asia, Europe and Africa. Due to its geographical proximity to these regions, Greece is regarded as a country of significant geostrategic importance. It’s also currently the UK’s 27th largest trading partner.
In the four quarters ending March 2025, total trade in goods and services between the two nations was approximately £11.8 billion, up by about 1.7% compared to the same period in 2024.
UK exports to (including pallet and parcel delivery to Greece) were worth around £3.8 billion, of which goods accounted for roughly £1.2 billion. Greece is one of the European Union’s largest producers of cotton, rice, olives, pistachios, figs, tomatoes and almonds. The main types of goods transported via shipping from the UK to Greece include ships, cars, beverages, and tobacco.
But what about personal postage? Current records show that the Greek-born resident population in the UK is about 77,000 individuals. Individuals may send a parcel to Greece that includes personal items, souvenirs from the UK or gifts for family (as approximately 17,000 British nationals are residents in Greece).
In every case, no matter if your parcel is big or small, it’s worth shopping around to find the best deals. At Parcel Broker, we make mailing postage to Greece from the UK easier and more cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to deal with customs when sending from the UK to Greece?
Yes, to send a parcel to Greece, shipments are subject to customs formalities. You’ll typically need to provide a customs declaration (sometimes a CN22 or CN23) that lists the contents of the parcel, its value, the country of origin, and often the corresponding HS/commodity code (for businesses shipping to Greece).
The recipient may be required to pay import VAT (currently around 24%, applicable to all goods and services not subject to the reduced or super-reduced VAT rate) and, potentially, customs duty, depending on the specific parcel delivery.
How should I address my parcel for delivery to Greece?
When shipping to Greece, take care to write the recipient’s address clearly and in the correct format. Use the full name of the receiver on the first line. On the next line, the street name is followed by the building number. Below that, include the five-digit postal code, with a space between the third and fourth digits, followed by the city/town name in capital letters.
