Useful information for sending a parcel to Iceland
You may think that as Iceland isn't a member of the European Union that it isn't able to make use of the free-trade benefits of the organisation, but interestingly Iceland became a member of the European Economic Area in in 1994 which afforded it economic integration with Europe but without some of the regulations relating to agriculture and Fisheries. Other countries in the same position include Liechtenstein and
Norway.
The island's banking collapses of 2008 may have affected the level of trade between our country and Iceland, but the country still does have a strong economy when it comes to fishing, metlas, bio-technology and tourism. Of course we're not in the people shipping business, but we can certainly help you if you need to send a parcel to Reykjavik or the major towns of Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and Garðabær or Reykjanesbær.
Despite 93% of the country's population being ethnically Icelandic and 2% Scandinavian, we still do see a good number of parcels going to the country on a regular basis. As you can appreciate they're more business orientated than the retirement countries of
Spain and
France, however we do send sufficient volume to the country to allow us to negotiate great deals for our customers wishing to send a parcel to Iceland.
Of course we can't offer our traditional
road shipping prices to Iceland because of the distance by sea, however, we do offer very reasonable rates for
airmail via
DHL. At the time of writing our prices start at just £17.49 for a 1 day service of a parcel that weighs just 1kg. For 10kg this would increase to £46.49 and for a very heavy 20kg parcel this would be £67.99.
If you are going to send a parcel to Iceland than we suggest that you familiarise yourself with the Icelandic
Directorate of Customs - especially the page regarding
customs procedures. Also if you have any questions, feel free to contact the Directorate at:
