Frequently Asked Questions When Shipping To Germany

Here are some frequently asked questions from our customers about shipping to Germany. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please visit our support pages or contact us – we’re here to help!

You can send items to various hotels and resorts throughout Germany, which many of our customers find very convenient. However, it's a good idea to check with the hotel or resort in advance, as they will need to handle the delivery and/or collection of your shipment.

When organising your shipment to Germany, My Baggage provides flexible options like our Flexi and Super-Flexi services. These options offer you extra flexibility to meet your shipping needs. Learn more about our flexible options.

Delivery times for shipments to Germany vary based on your pickup and delivery locations, as well as the shipping option you choose. When you place your order, you will receive estimated delivery dates and times, and you can track your shipment in detail using our online tracking feature.

Using My Baggage to transport your luggage isn’t the only way to send your belongings to Germany. Depending on the purpose of your trip, there are alternative options that might suit your needs better. Here are a few alternatives:


International Removals to Germany

If you’re planning to move permanently to Germany, you might want to consider sending all your essential belongings through an international removals company. This approach allows you to transport all your luggage - including larger items like furniture - in one go, and they can be ready to welcome you at your new home!


Sea Freight to Germany

For those needing to send large items to Germany that may be challenging to transport - such as a sofa, fridge, or even a car - sea freight could be a suitable option. While it is often more affordable, sea freight can take a significant amount of time, meaning you could be without your belongings for a while. Depending on the shipping route, it may take up to two months for your items to arrive. Additionally, you should factor in the costs of transporting your items to and from ports, both at departure and on arrival in Germany.


Air Freight to Germany

Like sea freight, air freight enables you to transport large, bulky items to Germany with ease. While this option is much quicker, it tends to be more expensive, as charges are based on weight and volume. You will also need to consider the costs of transporting your items to and from airports.

Customs Information for Shipments to Germany

When sending personal belongings or gifts to Germany, a customs form is necessary. If you arrange your shipment through My Baggage, we will automatically generate the required customs forms for you to fill out. We have included essential customs information to assist you through the process. However, as customs regulations can change and specific requirements may differ based on your circumstances and shipment, we highly recommend conducting your own research on German Customs to ensure you have the most current and relevant information for your needs.

Important Customs Information
Shipments to Germany will undergo German Customs checks and will require a completed customs form. This form will be generated based on the information you provide when placing your order. Once payment is made, you can access and fill out your customs forms in the ‘My Orders’ section of our website.

However, if your shipment is coming from within the EU (European Union), customs forms and checks will not be required.
Each shipment to Germany is processed individually and inspected by German Customs. Clearance times may vary depending on several factors. As long as your customs paperwork is completed and submitted correctly, your shipment with My Baggage should pass through customs without issues and arrive on the estimated delivery date.

When sending items to Germany, you will need to provide additional documentation along with the customs forms supplied by My Baggage.

This includes:

  • A copy of the receiver’s passport image page.
  • If applicable: a flight ticket or boarding pass dated within 6 months of the shipment’s arrival in Germany.
  • If applicable: a personal effects statement confirming that all items within the shipment are used personal effects.

The requirements depend on your circumstances, which we've outlined below:

  • Holiday/Temporary Stay in Germany – For stays under 12 months, provide your inbound and outbound flight details.
  • Returning Resident – A copy of your original outbound flight ticket and confirmation of whether the goods you’re shipping were purchased outside the EU (European Union). You may also need to provide proof of residence and evidence of time spent abroad, such as an employment contract.
  • Working in Germany – Provide your flight details and official proof of residence or rental agreement in Germany.
  • Relocating to Germany – Submit proof of registration (Anmeldebestätigung or Meldebestätigung), evidence of living abroad for the past 12 months, and evidence of your length of residence in Germany.

To avoid potential issues, ensure all documentation required by customs is in the name of the receiver, who should be the owner of the shipment. If any documentation is in the sender’s name and differs from the receiver’s name, customs may reject the shipment.

Please note: This information is intended to assist you in understanding the typical customs requirements and documentation needed when shipping to Germany. However, these requirements may vary based on your specific situation, so we strongly advise you to conduct your own research to ensure you have the most accurate information. German customs reserves the right to request additional information or documentation from you to facilitate the customs clearance process. If further information or documentation is needed, German customs will contact you via our Courier Partner.

For shipments to Germany, you need to declare the value of your items on your customs forms. Ensure that your description is clear and accurate to help German customs confirm that your shipment consists of personal belongings.

Here is an example of what you might list:

4 x used black men’s cotton t-shirts
1 x pair of used brown leather shoes (size 8)
2 x pairs of used dark blue denim jeans (size small)

Shipments of personal effects to Germany may be subject to a customs processing fee, which will be determined by German customs. Gifts sent to Germany valued at €45 or less can enter duty-free; however, shipments exceeding this value will incur duties and taxes on the entire consignment.

My Baggage aims to deliver your items to Germany within the estimated timeframe. However, delays may occasionally arise due to unforeseen circumstances or customs processing, so we advise against shipping time-sensitive items.

Important Information Germany Shipments

It’s important to review this information carefully when shipping to Germany. Some items are Prohibited from being sent to Germany and must not be included in your shipment. You should also be aware of certain items classified as Non-Compensation Items, which you can send, but do so at your own risk. Ensure that all items are securely Packaged for their journey to Germany.
