Austrian Customs for Lovegobuy Orders
Austria applies 20% VAT (USt) on imported goods over 22 EUR and customs duties on items over 150 EUR. The 22 EUR VAT threshold means most Lovegobuy orders will incur some tax. However, EU Tax-Free lines typically handle VAT prepayment, so you pay upfront rather than at delivery.
Austrian customs are thorough but fair. Accurate declarations and tax-free line usage result in hassle-free delivery for most shoppers.
Best Shipping Lines for Austria
EU Tax-Free lines are the best choice for Austria, offering predictable costs and smooth customs clearance. DHL Austria works well for faster delivery. Austrian Post (Oesterreichische Post) handles most final-mile deliveries for non-DHL lines.
For Vienna-area buyers, Packstation and Post 24/7 box delivery are available options. Rural Austrian addresses should expect 1-2 extra days for final delivery.
Austrian Delivery Tips
Include your phone number on all Lovegobuy orders. Austrian customs and carriers frequently call recipients to confirm delivery details or customs payments. Having a local Austrian phone number significantly reduces delays.
