Special requirements for exports to Sweden/Germany
Sweden: From 1 January 2024, the additional service “Heavy” is required for handling parcels weighing between 20–35 kg. The change applies to all parcels and products and does not apply to goods on their own load carrier. The sender must mark the parcel with “Heavy” on at least three sides. If the sender has not selected “Heavy” but we weigh the parcel and find that it weighs between 20–35 kg, an additional fee will apply.
Germany: From 1 January 2025, German legislation requires the weight to be specified for parcels weighing more than 10 kg when transported to Germany. This applies both in the Transport EDI and on the shipping documentation. The requirement was introduced to ensure the proper handling and labelling of heavy shipments.
We always recommend specifying the weight of parcels to Germany in the EDI and on the shipping label, regardless of the weight. If the required labelling is missing, the parcel will be labelled in Hamburg, which will result in a one-day delay.
