General import requirements in the region
In the EU many products need CE marking and conformity documents, importers usually need an EORI number, and VAT rules apply to e-commerce parcels (such as the IOSS scheme). The UK, Switzerland and Norway have separate systems.
This is general guidance and may change. Confirm current requirements with the authorities or a customs broker in your country.
What does the quote include?
The quote scope depends on the agreement and destination: it may cover shipping to the arrival port or airport only, shipping with customs clearance, or delivery to your address where available.
