Sample prices as of August 7, 2026. Each service may apply a different minimum or volumetric weight, so the real price depends on the packed weight,
box size, postal code, product type and membership tier.
From 1 July 2026, e-commerce parcels worth up to €150 imported from outside the EU carry a temporary €3 duty per tariff category, plus VAT where applicable. General services may charge destination fees, while ALL-IN (tax included) or DDP make the total cost clearer before you ship. See the European Commission for details.
DHL Paket Germany and DPD Germany are examples of ALL-IN (tax included) services, while YunExpress Germany is DDP that calculates tax from the declared value of the goods.
Senders see the cost before booking and lower the chance the recipient has to pay extra when the parcel reaches Germany.
Our team helps check the product type, value and documents before confirming the service.
