Send parcel to Austria

Parcel insurance is a feature that's no longer an option, but rather an industry standard in many cases of delivery. This applies here at EcoParcel. If you're sending with us, you get a completely free insurance coverage of up to €100 for even the smallest and cheapest of deliveries.

For business shipments, however, a €100 might often not be enough since they often send items that are placed way higher than that in terms of value. If that's the case for you, we highly recommend purchasing an additional insurance package to ensure maximum safety.

Yes you can. Another benefit of sending with us is the ability to track your parcel from anywhere in the world. When you place a shipment, you'll get a unique ID to track your parcel whenever you want to. To do that, simply enter the code on our website and you'll see what's what.

If you don't see immediate updates, keep in mind that our courier partners scan each parcel by hand which means that it might take a bit for the information to appear.

If there are no updates on your shipment after 24 hours, make sure to contact us ASAP as it might mean that something has happened with your parcel.

Another important aspect of parcel delivery, we reckon, are the allowed and disallowed items to be imported into a country. Being a member of the EU, Austria has strict regulations that are important to the country.

To see the full list of what you can with EcoParcel, see the help section on our website.

Items you can import

For any item to be shipped, it must be properly sealed in a box-shaped container.

• Long shelf life food items
• Auto parts
• Liquids up to 1 liter

Please check a each couriers restricted items list.

Items forbidden from import

• Larger than 1l liquid containers
• Any types of ammo or guns
• Animal remains or such products
• Toxic, flammable or otherwise hazardous materials

Be sure to study the full list of items from our help section in the main menu, before placing your quote.

The typical weight limit for EU countries is 30-50 kg, depending on what the courier allows. While it might not be a concern for personal deliveries, businesses often send heavier items, which means they risk exceeding the limit.

If you're sending a heavier item, we recommend splitting the parcel into multiple parts. If your shipment weighs 110 kg, split the parcel to three pieces of 50 kg+ 30 kg + 30 kg, or four of 30 kg + 30 kg + 30 kg + 20 kg this way you'll be ok.

Before you send your parcel, another thing that we need to talk about is of course, customs duty for shipping to Austria. The country follows EU regulations, which have a pretty strict set of rules for incoming shipments.

Sending a parcel to Austria from the EU

For parcels coming from other EU member states, the customs duty is much more simplified as a typical checkup is all that's needed for a successful import.

Sending a parcel from the UK to Austria

Since Brexit, EU members including Austria treat parcels from the UK as foreign origin, which means you will need to complete additional customs duty and documentation.

Austria is a country which can offer quite the unique experience for keen travelers. It's rich traditions, as well as nature which is second to none, will surely make you come back here time and time again.

If you're looking for a new experience, definitely consider Austria.

Anyway, here are some general facts about the country.

• Population (as of 2020 census) : around 9 million
• Capital city: Vienna
• Official name: Austria or Republic of Austria
• Form of government: Federal parliamentary republic, democracy
• Official language: Austrian
• Dominant religion: Christianity 81%
