Send a Parcel to Sweden
Send Parcels to Sweden using Parcel Broker
Sweden ranks among the world's top countries in terms of quality of life, economic competitiveness, and human development. It is the third-largest country in the European Union in terms of area and has a population of around 10 million.
85% of the population inhabits urban areas, and Swedish employees enjoy a shorter working day than many of their European counterparts. But why send a parcel to Sweden?
Their efficient workforce means that the delivery and collection of items is often easily arranged. In fact, send a package from UK to Sweden, and you could receive it between 1 and 2 days or 5 to 6 days (depending on the method of transit).

What do I need to know about Swedish customs?
As the UK is no longer part of the EU’s single market and customs union, there have been changes to the sending and receiving of parcels. In 2025, anyone who intends to send a package from UK to Sweden must complete a customs declaration.
If you’re sending gifts or goods worth less than £270 (3,443.99 kr) and weighing under 2 kg, you need a CN22 form. Heavier, higher-value shipments require the completion of a CN23 form.
Parcels may incur Swedish VAT (25%) and, depending on the nature and value of the goods, import duties. These are usually collected from the recipient upon delivery.
What items can I send to Sweden?
If you send a parcel to Sweden that contains any prohibited or illegal goods, it may not be mailed into the country. Many restrictions apply, including (but not limited to):
- Alcohol
- Tobacco
- Perishable foods
- Plants
- Seeds
- Medicines
- Items of cultural or historical value
Restrictions also apply to food, plants, chemicals and industrial equipment. For specific details, consult pages 1170 to 189 of the UPU full prohibitions and restrictions list.
When should I avoid sending parcels?

- Midsummer Day: 24/06/2025

How should I address my parcel for delivery to Sweden?
It’s essential to note that deliveries to Sweden typically require an ISO-2 country code for international shipments. However, because ParcelBroker uses international couriers, this isn’t required.
