Personal Effects Customs Clearance Denmark
In most cases, Danish customs normally only require a packing list confirming the contents are used personal effects for duty free customs clearance.
Should the consignee be relocating to Denmark having been living in another country for one year or more, Danish customs may request further information for duty free clearance, including a passport copy, residence permit, flight tickets showing the consignee's arrival in Denmark from the country they are shipping from, proof of address in both Denmark and the shipping country, and an additional customs declaration.
Should additional information be required our courier partner in Denmark will contact the consignee directly to request this. If they are unable to reach the consignee or do not receive the additional information required immediately, shipments may be cleared with duty and taxes applied, and/or incur storage charges. The consignee should ensure they provide a local Danish contact number they can be reached on.
General Personal Effects Customs Information
Personal effects are typically defined as used items which have been in the sender's possession for 6 months or more. If your shipment is checked by customs and is found to contain brand new or commercial items, you shipment may not be assessed as personal effects. Keep this in mind if you are sending Christmas gifts or other new items. Please check with customs so you are aware of potential customs duties, follow any advice given and attach all necessary documentation.
In order to demonstrate that your shipment consists of personal effects, you will be required to complete a brief non-generic packing list online, entries to be made in the format: "5 x Cotton Dresses, 2 x Jeans, 3 x Pair of Gloves", and so on, rather than as "10 x Used Clothing".
As customs processes and allowances vary by country, we advise all customers take 5 minutes to check how their personal circumstances and what they are sending will be assessed under the prevailing customs regulations of the destination.
More information is available on our customs information page.

About Denmark
The Scandinavian country of Denmark is situated on the Northern border of Germany and consists of the Jutland peninsula and a number of islands, including two major ones ‒ Zealand, which has Denmark’s capital Copenhagen, and Funen, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen.
You can visit some wonderful and fascinating cities and towns in Denmark. Copenhagen – Denmark’s capital city ‒ offers something for everyone, from cultural and historical experiences to luxury shopping and a vibrant night life. Then you have Aalborg. A historical city with a picturesque centre, Aalborg hosts the biggest carnival in Northern Europe and is also famous for its nightlife.
Ribe is Denmark’s oldest town and is home to some of the best preserved medieval buildings in the world. And Billund, situated in Jutland, is the birthplace of the world’s best loved toy, LEGO. Legoland is Denmark’s most visited tourist attraction outside of Copenhagen and is great for families.
The official language of Denmark is Danish, although English is widely spoken as a second language (close to 90% of Denmark’s population speak English). Many Danes also speak German due to its proximity to the country. It’s also part of the EU, but uses the Danish krone rather than the Euro.
With its large coastline, Denmark offers tourists ample opportunities for fishing, both on the coast and in freshwater. A permit is needed for costal fishing and for many freshwater spots, although some do offer you the chance to fish for a small fee.
Another activity popular with tourists is hiking. There are many trails throughout the country, most of which are interconnected and encompass a range of accommodation and attractions along the trail. Because of its fair weather, Denmark makes a great destination for activity holidays or relaxing breaks away.

Air Freight to Denmark
Air freight is one option for sending big bulky items, such as a writing desk or a chest of drawers, to Denmark. Sending items by air freight usually takes one to two days, which is normally faster than sea freight shipping, but generally more expensive. What you have to pay will depend on the weight and size of your shipment. You will probably also have to use the services of a customs agent to handle customs clearance. And, you need to work out how to get your items to and from the airport, which means that costs could quickly mount up. If you send internationally by air freight to Denmark your items will likely arrive at one of the major airports, such as Copenhagen, Aarhus or Esbjerg Airports.
Sea Freight and Container Shipping to Denmark
Instead of air freight, you could try sea freight or container shipping to move your possessions to Denmark. Again, this option is usually used when transporting large items, like a snooker table or a wardrobe. Sea freight usually means shipping items in large containers loaded onto cargo ships. It can be cheaper than air freight, but you will still need to use the services of a customs agent and will need to sort out how to get your items to and from the ports, which means it could cost more than expected. When using container shipping to Denmark your items will most likely arrive by ship at one of the major sea ports, such as Copenhagen, Aarhus or Esbjerg.
Shipping Goods to Denmark
You need to find out about the current customs rules when shipping goods to Denmark. You should be fully aware of any duty that needs to be paid and what items are permitted to be shipped to Denmark, which items are restricted, and which are entirely forbidden. Take a look at the prohibited items and customs sections on this page for more information.
