Send Parcels to Malta from only £12.00

Malta may be one of the smaller markets in Europe, but its connection with the UK is far stronger than size alone suggests. Demand for shipping to Malta remains strong because in the four quarters to the end of Q3 2025, total trade in goods and services between the two countries reached £4.6 billion, up 46.5% year on year.

Although the relationship is chiefly service-led, there’s still a significant flow of parcel deliveries to Malta, with UK goods exports to Malta worth £435 million. Malta currently ranks as the UK’s 50th-largest export partner, a connection strengthened by the fact that over 26,000 Maltese-born residents now call the UK home.

There’s also a significant British presence on the islands, with an estimated 15,000 British expatriates living in Malta. Send a parcel, and the flow of goods across the continent may be to family, friends or for business. Maltese businesses are active online, with 60.4% of enterprises using paid internet advertising in 2024. Combine this with the UK’s internet penetration rate of 98%, and we can see how a well-established corridor is necessary for cross-border orders and customer deliveries.

How to prepare your parcel for shipping to Malta

To send a parcel to Malta, you must first verify that your goods are safe to travel – certain items are restricted or prohibited, and checking these guidelines beforehand is the best way to prevent unnecessary delays.

Once you know for certain that your contents are cleared for transit, choose a sturdy, snug-fitting box and use plenty of cushioning materials, such as bubble wrap, foam, or cardboard, to protect your items.

Successful shipping from the UK to Malta requires the parcel to be securely packed with strong packing tape; seal every open edge and seam. With the box fully packed, take accurate measurements of its weight and dimensions.

Record these figures only after the packaging is complete, as under-declaring the size/weight is an easily avoidable cause of surcharges that can complicate delivery to the Maltese islands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to deal with customs when shipping a pallet from the UK to Malta?

Yes. Malta is in the EU, and Great Britain is outside the EU customs union, so customs formalities apply. In practice, that usually means an export declaration from the UK side, an import declaration in Malta, and a commercial invoice travelling with the goods.

How much does it cost to send a parcel to Malta?

The cost of shipping from UK to Malta depends on the carrier, service, weight and dimensions. According to current Royal Mail figures for Malta, an online International Standard parcel up to 2kg starts from £6.30, International Tracked from £9.00, and International Economy from £11.40.

How should I address my parcel for delivery to Malta?

Use the recipient’s name first, property number or name and street, then the locality in capitals, then the Maltese postcode, and put MALTA on the last line in capitals. For example:

Jane Borg
12, Triq Example,
SAN GWANN,
SGN 1234
MALTA

What items can't I send to Malta?

You cannot send a parcel to Malta containing dangerous, illegal or prohibited goods.

Malta’s country-specific postal prohibitions include aerosols not meant for personal grooming or medical use, ammunition, controlled drugs, narcotics, and more. Some items are restricted rather than fully banned, including alcohol and certain batteries.

You also need to check your carrier’s own prohibited-items rules before sending.
