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:
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!
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.
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.
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.
When sending items to Germany, you will need to provide additional documentation along with the customs forms supplied by My Baggage.
This includes:
The requirements depend on your circumstances, which we've outlined below:
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.
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.
