Sending a parcel from Georgia to Greece
Diplomatic relations between Georgia and the Hellenic Republic were established on 20 April 1992. Georgia has two missions in Greece — an embassy in Athens and a consulate general in Thessaloniki.
For Georgians living in Greece, 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 Greece.
Why Parcello?

Greece — the euro since 2001 and island VAT
Greece 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.
Greece joined the eurozone on 1 January 2001 — two years after the first members. The euro replaced the drachma at a fixed rate (€1 = 340.750 drachmas), and old banknotes could only be exchanged for euro until 1 March 2012.
The standard VAT rate in Greece is 24%, though on some islands every VAT rate is reduced by 30%.
EU customs rules, including the gift threshold, apply to Greece in full — you will find them below, in the section on official rules.
How much does it cost to send a parcel to Greece?
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 Greece to get the current price.
What to know before sending to Greece
Below are the official European Union rules that apply when a parcel is received. These are not Parcello's own terms.
Greece joined the eurozone in 2001
Greece joined the European Union in 1981 and the eurozone on 1 January 2001. Euro banknotes and coins entered circulation on 1 January 2002. The euro replaced the Greek drachma at a fixed rate of €1 = 340.750 drachmas, and the period in which both currencies circulated ended on 28 February 2002. Drachma coins could be exchanged for euro until 1 March 2004, and banknotes until 1 March 2012.
VAT is 24%, lower on some islands
The standard VAT rate in Greece is 24%. On some islands every VAT rate is reduced by 30%, and that relief has recently been extended to more islands.
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.
