What people send from Crete abroad
The most common international shipping from Crete: parcels to relatives and students in Germany, the UK and the Netherlands; suitcases of students leaving for university; items guests forgot in hotels (phones, tablets, jewellery, clothes) returned across Europe and the USA; and samples of olive oil, honey, wine and herbs from Cretan producers to customers and trade fairs abroad. For food and liquids the app guides you on packaging and paperwork per destination.
Customs and paperwork
For EU destinations (Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Cyprus) there is no customs clearance — the parcel travels like a domestic one. For the UK, Switzerland, the USA, Canada and Australia, CourierAPP prepares the customs invoice automatically from the details you enter, so the parcel is not held at the destination customs.
