Package forwarding to Austria
Argos, John Lewis and Halfords deliver only in the UK, Old Navy leaves Austria off its country list, and Walmart.com ships abroad only to Canada and Mexico. A UK or US address gets you in. Austria charges 20% import VAT from the first cent.
Why UK and US shops are hard to reach from Austria
UK and US shops don't ship to Austria
Argos and Halfords deliver only to UK addresses, John Lewis offers no international delivery, Old Navy's country list leaves Austria out, and Kohl's does not ship internationally at all.
20% VAT from the first cent
The Austrian Ministry of Finance is clear: import VAT of 20% applies from the first cent. Since 1 July 2026 the EU's €150 duty relief is gone too, so duty can apply to small parcels.
A US address without sales tax
Our US warehouse is in Delaware, which has no sales tax, so US orders delivered there are not charged state sales tax at checkout. Austrian import VAT is then due on arrival.

What a parcel from the UK or US pays in Austria (2026)
Austria charges import VAT of 20% from the first cent, according to the Federal Ministry of Finance. On 1 July 2026 the EU abolished the €150 customs-duty relief, so customs duty can now apply from the first euro too — in some cases as a flat €3 per item type, otherwise at the normal tariff rate. Gifts between private individuals up to €45 are duty-free, under conditions.
A new EU handling fee from 1 November 2026 may also apply. UK-origin goods can be duty-free under the EU–UK trade agreement with an origin statement; non-UK goods shipped from the UK pay duty. Ask the carrier whether it charges a fee for handling clearance.
| Item | Rule (2026) |
|---|---|
| Import VAT | 20% from the first cent |
| Customs duty | Can apply from the first euro since 1 July 2026 (€150 relief abolished) |
| How duty is charged | In some cases a flat €3 per item type, otherwise the normal tariff rate |
| Private gifts | Up to €45 duty-free, under conditions |
| EU handling fee | A new fee from 1 November 2026 may apply |
| UK-origin goods | Can be duty-free with an origin statement (EU–UK agreement) |
Customs information updated November 2026. We generally ship DAP: duties, taxes and customs formalities at destination are handled by the recipient. Always check with your country's customs authority. Informational only — not customs or tax advice. The 2026 EU rules are new and their application to each parcel can vary. Check with the Austrian Ministry of Finance (BMF) before you order. Source: BMF — E-commerce FAQs (customs).
Shops worth forwarding from when you live in Austria (2026)
Inside the EU you don't need a forwarder: German, Italian or Spanish shops ship to Austria directly. The gap is the UK and the US, where many big names deliver only at home. Halfords also delivers only to UK addresses.
With a UK or US address you order like a local customer; we combine your parcels and send one box to Austria, with the customs proforma checked against the contents.
| Shop | From | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Argos | UK | Delivers only to UK addresses |
| John Lewis | UK | No international delivery |
| Vinted UK | UK | UK members trade internationally only with the US and Australia |
| Old Navy | USA | Its international country list excludes Austria |
| Bath & Body Works | USA | Ships only to the US, Puerto Rico and US territories |
| Walmart.com | USA | International shipping only to Canada and Mexico |
| Kohl's | USA | No international shipping; may not accept international cards |

Thousands of global shoppers trust Resendify
From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
Forwarding packages to Austria
No. Inside the EU there are no customs and most shops ship to Austria directly. A forwarder helps with shops in the UK and the US that deliver only at home.
Austria charges 20% import VAT from the first cent. Our US warehouse is in Delaware, which has no sales tax, so you are not paying US state sales tax on top.
Gifts between private individuals up to €45 are duty-free, under conditions. A parcel you bought yourself in a shop is not a gift.
On 1 July 2026 the EU abolished the €150 duty relief. Customs duty can now apply from the first euro — in some cases as a flat €3 per item type, otherwise at the normal tariff rate. A new EU handling fee from 1 November 2026 may also apply.
