Greece, known for its beaches, is a country located in southeastern Europe. It is referred to as the cradle of Western civilization, due to its influential status in ancient times, being the birthplace of democracy and more. Athens, its capital and largest city, retains ancient landmarks, including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple.
The prospect of living in Greece is appealing for many, and for good reason. It is a vibrant country that is world-renowned for its year-round good climate, rich history, stunning architecture and unique culture. They also have one of the lowest costs of living in the EU.

Reasons My Baggage customers ship to Greece:
My Baggage makes transporting unaccompanied baggage across the world an easy process. Whether you’re travelling to Greece to study abroad, to relocate with family or for work, to enjoy a holiday or otherwise; My Baggage’s generous weight allowance and the fact that you can send as many items as you like with us can come in particularly useful. Our convenient luggage shipping service allows you to bring many more possessions with you than if you were simply relying on a few checked pieces of luggage when flying. For this reason, My Baggage offers a welcomed, affordable alternative to airline baggage.
As well, My Baggage offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional removals companies. All things considered, relocating to another country is an undeniably expensive process for many reasons. However, My Baggage allows you to cut your costs in one way, at least. For many people, it can be a much more affordable option to sell or donate most of their large, bulky items (such as furniture) and ship only their most essential belongings with us.
My Baggage allows you to ship a massive 30kg/66lbs per suitcase or box at fantastic low rates. You’ll also be given the option to pay extra for even heavier items, if you need to.
When shipping from the UK to Greece or anywhere else in the EU, goods do not pass through customs clearance and therefore are not subject to import tax or duty. If, however, you’re sending to Greece from a country outside of the EU, such as the USA or Australia, you are then legally required to complete and attach a customs invoice to your shipment.
Generally, My Baggage shipments clear customs in a timely manner, free from duties and taxes, as most countries offer a generous duty-free allowance for personal effects. However, as customs processes and allowances are different around the world, and because My Baggage has no control over any decisions made, we do advise doing your own personal research into Greek customs regulations and quarantine before booking your shipment to Greece. Please make yourself aware of potential customs duties in Greece and be sure to follow any and all advice provided by customs directly.
When completing your customs documents, it is important to do so properly and clearly. In order to demonstrate that your shipment consists of personal effects, you will be required to accurately describe each item included in the package. For example, you would declare: “4 x t-shirts, 2 x pairs of jeans, 3 x dresses” etc, as opposed to “10x clothing”.
My Baggage gives you the freedom to ship your personal belongings all over the world, meaning you can send almost everything you would typically find in a standard holiday suitcase. However, for security and customs reason, there are certain items which are prohibited and cannot be carried; as is standard with most shipping companies.
As a general rule, you can be sure that the following items are prohibited:
Please note that there are specific items which can be carried on our services, however, they may not be covered under our compensation cover and should be sent at your own risk. If you choose to send any non-compensation items, please ensure they are packaged appropriately, with plenty of internal packaging for any delicate items.

Please note that import allowances, security and customs processes differ all around the world; we recommend that you do your own personal research into what may be prohibited in your destination country before booking your shipment to Greece.
What type of packaging can be used?
When sending your belongings to Greece with My Baggage, we recommend using either suitcases or strong boxes to package your items so as they are suitable for transit.
We advise against using fragile or expensive suitcases, as packaging is not covered under our compensation cover. With regards to boxes, it’s always best to invest in a new, sturdy, double-walled cardboard box as they are most durable and suitable for transit.
If you are sending fragile or delicate items, we recommend using internal packaging to protect them during transit. You can use materials such as bubble wrap or newspapers.
