Key information about what you can ship, customs rules, and packaging for Germany.
Germany enforces strict EU import regulations through the Zoll. Electronics must carry CE marking. Food products require EU-compliant labeling in German. VIO Shipping helps you prepare compliant documentation for smooth customs clearance.
Germany is one of the most important European destinations for packages sent from Vietnam. The country is home to a significant Vietnamese community of approximately 200,000 people, one of the largest in Europe, concentrated in cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, and Dresden. This vibrant diaspora drives a constant flow of personal shipments, care packages, and specialty goods between Vietnam and Germany throughout the year, making this one of VIO Shipping’s busiest European corridors.
VIO Shipping offers three service tiers for the Vietnam-to-Germany corridor. Express shipping via DHL, FedEx, and UPS delivers your package in just 4–6 business days — ideal for urgent documents, time-sensitive gifts, or high-value goods that need to arrive quickly. Our Standard service through Hermes provides a balanced option with delivery in 7–10 business days at a competitive price point. For standard or heavier shipments, our Economy service through Deutsche Post provides reliable delivery in 10–15 business days at the most affordable rate. All services include full tracking and customs documentation support.
As an EU member state, Germany follows European Union customs regulations enforced by the Zoll (German customs authority). The de minimis threshold is EUR 150 — goods valued below this amount are exempt from customs duties. However, German import VAT known as Einfuhrumsatzsteuer at 19% applies to all imported goods regardless of their value, including shipments under EUR 150. For e-commerce sellers, the EU’s IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) system allows you to pre-collect VAT at the point of sale, simplifying customs clearance and speeding up delivery for your German customers.
Germany is particularly strict about CE marking on electronics and electrical products. Items without proper CE certification may be held or rejected at customs. Food products must carry EU-compliant labeling with ingredients, nutritional information, and allergen warnings. VIO Shipping provides expert documentation support to help ensure your shipments clear German customs smoothly.
The large Vietnamese community in Germany maintains deep culinary and cultural ties with Vietnam. The most commonly shipped items include Vietnamese instant noodles (a staple comfort food for the diaspora), Vietnamese coffee (ca phe), spices and seasonings (fish sauce, lemongrass, chili, star anise), dried food products (dried shrimp, squid, rice noodles, pho ingredients), and clothing (including ao dai and casual wear). Many Vietnamese-owned restaurants and shops in Germany also source specialty ingredients from Vietnam, creating a steady demand for commercial shipments.
We partner with Deutsche Post/DHL, FedEx, UPS, and Hermes to ensure reliable delivery across all 16 German federal states. DHL is Germany’s dominant parcel carrier with an unmatched domestic delivery network, making it the backbone of our Express service. FedEx and UPS provide additional Express capacity with their global networks. Hermes powers our Standard service, while Deutsche Post handles Economy deliveries. Full tracking visibility is provided from pickup in Vietnam to doorstep delivery anywhere in Germany.
