Customs Declarations	Parcel Despatch Note.
Customs Clearance Fees	As from 1 March 2018, Deutsche Post DHL will charge recipients a single customs clearance fee of 6 EUR, inclusive of VAT, on all imported postal items that are not free of duties or taxes and for which Deutsche Post AG incurred import taxes and/or customs duties on behalf of the recipient.

Phytosanitary goods (plants or seeds) which originate from outside the EU and are addressed to Germany must be accompanied by a health certificate. Plants lacking such a certificate are no longer permitted for importation into Germany or the other EU countries. Furthermore, every type of seed needs a phytosanitary certificate for import issued by the country of origin.
Invoices	An invoice, in duplicate, should accompany each parcel, attached to the customs clearance.
Import Licences	Goods sent by post are subject to import regulations. Import licences, however, are not required for certain goods not exceeding EUR 22 in value. Senders of parcels to Germany are advised to ascertain before posting that correct procedure is being followed by the German importer.
Gift Parcels	Gift parcels are accepted without import licences provided they do not contain any items such as sweetening substances or drugs for which special import regulations are in force. Customs charges will not be raised on gift parcels sent by private persons to private persons provided that: the value of the parcel does not exceed EUR 45; the contents of the parcel are not intended for industrial or commercial purposes; the parcel contains no tea or coffee or substitutes, essences or extracts of tea or coffee; alcohol, tobacco products or cigarette papers. Parcels addressed to needy persons are admitted free of customs duty provided they contain only items of necessity. In the case of coffee and tea the maximum quantities admitted free of customs duty are 500 g of coffee, 100 g of tea, 200 g of coffee essence or extract and 50 g of tea extract. Customs duty is levied on tobacco products, cigarette papers, wines and spirits. Seasonal (Christmas, birthdays and so on) gift parcels addressed to close relatives are admitted free of customs duty provided they contain reasonable quantities such as one bottle of spirits, 50 cigars or 100 cigarettes. Parcels and custom declarations should be clearly marked GESCHENK-SENDUNG (Gift Parcel) and the declarations should indicate all the items contained and their value.
Packing	All parcels must be strongly packed.
Address	All postal items must bear complete addresses and correct postcodes (in the following format) to facilitate delivery: Full name of the addressee; Street name, house or apartment number or other additional information; Postcode and destination city (e.g. 53113 BONN); Destination country (i.e. GERMANY).
Address on goods delivery	In view of customs regulations, postal items containing goods and originating from a non-EU country must not be addressed directly to parcel lockers (DHL Packstation), service points (postal outlets and DHL Paketshops) or post office boxes (Postfach). The rationale behind this requirement is that the address of the recipient (individual or business) is necessary for customs declaration purposes; the German customs authority does not accept customs declarations that provide a parcel locker, service point or post office box as the recipient’s address. Therefore, shipments addressed directly to one of the aforementioned options may be rejected by the German customs authority and returned to the sender in the origin country. Keywords in the address fields indicating the use of such options include “Packstation”, “Postfach”, “Postfiliale” and “Postnummer”.
