As Austria is a part of the European Union, shipments that are sent from inside the EU do not have duties and taxes applied – thanks to the EU's commitment to the free movement of goods. When parcels are sent from outside the EU however, there is a low value exemption from duties and taxes for goods that are worth less than €150. Packages that are worth more than this are taxed normally.
Even if you are shipping to Austria from within the EU, you will need to properly complete your customs paperwork. By being clear and descriptive, you will minimise the chances that there is a problem in clearing customs.

Food is one of 's most popular shipments, and we know just how to get it to its destination. There are some special rules to keep in mind, but as long as you keep to the points outlined below you shouldn't have any problems.
Sending a parcel to Austria is a process during which your parcel will change hands multiple times, including being loaded and unloaded from several vans. To make sure that your goods arrive in good condition, it's important to package them properly.
There are three main points to keep in mind when packaging your goods:
It's best to use a new box when shipping, as used boxes could look sturdy while hiding flaws that could make your box burst or be crushed in transit. For goods that weigh more than 10kg, use a double lined box for extra support.
Wrap each item individually with plenty of support. Place them in the box and add packaging materials so that no part of your goods are touching the walls of the box. Make sure that nothing moves when shaking the box.
Use proper packaging tape, which supports your box. Wrap three times around your box in a Union Flag pattern, and support the corners and joins in particular. Add shipping labels, making sure that all information is clearly visible.
makes it simple to ship food to Austria – as long as you keep a few rules in mind. Most importantly, you can't send perishable goods internationally. That means all foods shipments must be store bought and in their original packaging, and homemade food is not allowed.
Customs charges are applied by Austrian customs. This is a part of the shipping process that has no control over. However, if your shipping to Austria from within the EU, then no duties will be applied.
There are some goods that you are not allowed to ship internationally. Some are prohibited by the courier – like cologne and perfume. You can see a list of 's prohibited items . Others are restricted by Austria – you can see those on our EU prohibited items page.
If you're sending from in the EU, no. If not, it depends on what your package is worth. Gifts worth less than €45 do not have duties or taxes applied, while parcels that are worth more are treated as normal packages, and duties and taxes are applied.
There are sometimes extra charges for shipping parcels to areas that are off the beaten path. After all, it's simple to send to Vienna, but shipping to somewhere like the Zillertal Alps or Dunkelsteinerwald is a more difficult process. Any extra charges won't come as a surprise however – takes surcharges into account when providing a quote.
