Sending a parcel from Georgia to Austria
Diplomatic relations between Georgia and the Republic of Austria were established on 25 March 1992. A Georgian embassy opened in Austria in 1993, and the Austrian embassy in Tbilisi began work in September 2016. An Austrian honorary consulate has also operated in Tbilisi since 15 March 2019.
For Georgians living in Austria, receiving a parcel from home is often a simple way of keeping a connection to family, friends and the place they came from.
You give us the parcel and the details we need, and we help organise the process of getting it to Austria.

In Austria the post files the declaration
Austria is a member of the European Union and the eurozone, so EU customs rules apply to a parcel sent from Georgia, and a consignment's value and the customs relief thresholds are in euro.
According to Austria's Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF), since 1 July 2021 Austrian Post (Österreichische Post) has filed the customs declaration for every postal consignment arriving from outside the EU. The post charges the recipient any taxes when it hands over the parcel, and also charges a customs handling fee.
A gift from a private individual worth up to €45 is free of import taxes — provided such consignments are not regular, the parcel contains only items for personal use, and the recipient pays nothing for it. The standard VAT rate in Austria is 20%.
That is why it helps if the recipient knows in advance what is in the parcel and what it is worth — if the consignment is taxed, it is the recipient who pays.
How much does it cost to send a parcel to Austria?
The cost depends on the weight of the parcel and the rate in force.
Send us the weight of your parcel and the destination city in Austria to get the current price.
What to know before sending to Austria
Below are the official European Union rules that apply when a parcel is received. These are not Parcello's own terms.
Austria is a founding member of the eurozone
Austria joined the European Union in 1995 and was among the first countries to adopt the euro, on 1 January 1999. Euro banknotes and coins entered circulation on 1 January 2002. The euro replaced the Austrian schilling at a fixed rate of €1 = 13.7603 schillings, and the period in which both currencies circulated ended on 28 February 2002. Austria's central bank exchanges schilling banknotes and coins for euro with no time limit.
VAT rate
The standard VAT rate in Austria is 20%.
The post files the customs declaration
According to Austria's Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF), since 1 July 2021 Austrian Post (Österreichische Post) has filed the customs declaration for every postal consignment arriving from outside the EU. The post charges the recipient any taxes when it hands over the parcel, and also charges a customs handling fee. A gift from a private individual worth up to €45 is free of import taxes, provided such consignments are not regular, the parcel contains only items for personal use, and the recipient pays nothing for it.
Parcels go through customs
Georgia is not a member of the European Union, so a parcel sent to Europe goes through customs when it enters the EU. The recipient may be charged value added tax (VAT) and, in some cases, customs duty as well.
Gifts under €45 are exempt
When one private individual sends a parcel to another for personal or family use and its value does not exceed €45, the consignment is exempt from customs duty and VAT. The relief applies only to occasional, non-commercial gifts — a birthday parcel, for example. If the value exceeds €45, VAT is charged on the whole consignment.
A new rule applies from 1 July 2026
The European Union has abolished the customs duty exemption for consignments valued under €150. In its place, from 1 July 2026 a flat customs duty of €3 applies, calculated per tariff line rather than per parcel. The rule is aimed primarily at consignments from online shopping and is temporary — it runs until 1 July 2028.
Separate rules apply to alcohol and tobacco
Gift relief does not fully cover alcohol and tobacco: VAT and excise duty are charged on these products regardless. Relief from customs duty applies only to strictly limited quantities — 50 cigarettes, or one litre of spirits, for example.
