Austria has a few strict or rather unusual import regulations that you must follow in order to avoid any confrontation with the legal operatives. A quick list of items that are prohibited from import:

• Items shipped from Japan: food, nutritional supplements, proteins, living animals and any fluid substances from animals

• Rubber erasers that are similar in appearance to food products that are easily ingested

• Nutritional supplements (for exceptions, contact Austrian customs)

• Items subject to veterinary or phytosanitary inspection by border control agents, including bees, leeches, silkworms, parasites, destroyers of noxious insects intended for the control of those insects, and flies of the family Drosophilidae for biomedical research

• Weapons, ammunition.

Before you ship a packet from the United Kingdom to Austria, make sure you understand the responsibilities outlined here.

Regarding the UK originated parcels, Austrian postage experts also suggest avoiding controversial items with strong propaganda and dangerous materials, such as explosives, weapons and etc. Austrians are known for the way that the law is respected amongst the population, so they will not look for compromises if something is violating the order of things. Parcelabc would like to add that you can also choose the best way to ship your package on our website. Fill in the quote to get suggestions for carriers and compare the prices and other details.

Upon arrival, shipments are inspected by officers, because the UK is not a part of the Schengen area. If the provided documents are accurate and officers have no reason to open up the parcel, it should clear customs very quickly, but in other situations, your parcel can get opened and looked at. Be careful and follow the guidelines we describe here or contact our team directly by e-mail so you can avoid unfortunate incidents.

If the parcel is not cleared, it gets looked at by custom experts.

If the parcel and its contents are proven to be dangerous or violations are determined, a fine is written at the expense of either the sender or the courier. Depending on the severity of the violation, the packet either gets held up, sent back or continues onwards until the recipient gets it. Parcelabc recommends avoiding sending something with intent of hiding a commercial purpose or weapons/dangerous propaganda type materials.

Once the package gets cleared, carriers are going to handle your parcel until the very end. Shipping from the UK to Austria requires your decisions to be swift and cheap. Parcelabc takes pride in giving the customer the power to determine the best way to ship his or hers packet. Choose from the options available and contact our team if any questions arise.
