Your parcel must meet the following conditions: The sender is a private person (e.g. family member, friend, acquaintance). A parcel from an online shop is never considered a gift (even if it says gift on the package). The contents of the parcel are for personal use. If the parcel contains alcoholic products, tea, coffee, perfume, eau de toilette, tobacco or tobacco products, the excise duty-free quantity is not exceeded.
