Don’t know how to ship a parcel from the United States to Greece? We can help. TRT Express provides logistics and customs clearance services for personal and commercial shipments. With us, shipping to Greece from the United States is a simple and accessible process, as clear and transparent as possible. You can arrange your shipment right now from your personal account on the website.
Taxation of parcels imported into Greece is regulated by EU legislation. One of the main requirements is declaring the exact value of the contents. If the value exceeds the duty-free limit, VAT and duty must be paid. Parcels must be accompanied by invoices to avoid customs delays.
TRT Express handles the paperwork in accordance with legal requirements. We also monitor changes in customs regulations, which helps us avoid problems with importing cargo.
TRT Express’s shipping process is organized as efficiently as possible. All customers need to do is register on our website and process the shipment: fill in the recipient and product information, and pay for shipping. Then, they send the parcel to our warehouse in the United States. All subsequent shipping arrangements are handled by our specialists. These include:
- reception and consolidation of parcels;
- weighing and measuring, calculating dimensions for rate selection;
- delivery to the airport or port.
Upon arrival in Greece, customs escort is provided, after which the cargo is sent to the recipient by mail or courier.
The price of logistics services is one of the most common questions from clients. We do not have a fixed price, as it is calculated individually for each case. In this case, various factors are taken into account:
- box dimensions;
- cargo type and its value (important for calculating VAT and duties);
- selected tariff;
- availability of insurance;
- need for additional warehouse services.
Transportation costs also depend on the delivery method. The cheapest is sea shipping. This option is suitable for those looking to save money and who don’t need urgent delivery from the US to Greece. Air shipping is more expensive but faster.
You can check current rates for cargo shipping services on the website. Place an order so the system can calculate the cost for your package.
Many carriers have dimensional limits. On average, for air shipping, these are 30 kg of actual or volumetric weight and the sum of the dimensions up to 300 cm. However, it’s best to confirm this information before sending. Our website lists current shipping limits.
Sea transport shipping parcels from the USA is suitable for shipments of various sizes, including oversized, heavy, and large quantities.
In addition to the shipping process, certain rules also apply to packaging goods. It is best to ship them in thick cardboard boxes, tightly sealed with wide tape.
Enclosures should be filled with cushioning materials to secure the items. Fragile items should be wrapped in foam or several layers of fabric or paper. If you are unable to ensure proper packaging conditions to ensure the contents are securely stored, you can order this service from us. Before sending your parcel to Greece, our warehouse staff will select a suitable box to protect your shipment from damage.
Transit time depends on the chosen method. If air freight is selected, delivery to Greece from the USA is faster – 7-4 days or 15-21 days, depending on the tariff.
Sea freight takes longer – approximately 4-7 weeks.
TRT Express can deliver any cargo from the USA to Europe within optimal timeframes. We ensure proper paperwork and efficient transportation, guaranteeing a high level of service to our customers.
However, public holidays in the USA or Greece can affect the delivery time, in which case a delay of 1-2 days is possible.
