Parcel Forwarding from the UK to Sweden

Sweden is one of Europe's most digitally advanced consumer markets with a strong appetite for British brands, heritage goods and premium lifestyle products. Many retailers based in Britain either do not ship to Sweden or charge international rates that make individual purchases uneconomical. Send2Hub gives you a real forwarding address at our secure warehouse in Stoke-on-Trent — shop any British store, consolidate your purchases and we forward everything to Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö or anywhere in Sweden.

Shop Any British Retailer and Ship to Sweden

Your free Send2Hub address gives you access to the full range of British online retail — including stores that do not offer direct shipping to Sweden. Popular brands that Send2Hub customers in Sweden regularly shop include Marks and Spencer, Next, Boots, Barbour, Hunter, Ted Baker, John Lewis, Clarks, Charlotte Tilbury, Elemis, Liz Earle, The White Company, Fortnum and Mason and Amazon. Use your Send2Hub address at checkout as you would any domestic delivery address — your parcel arrives at our Stoke-on-Trent warehouse, where it is automatically photographed, weighed and measured on arrival, and full details appear in your real-time account dashboard immediately.

Save money with parcel consolidation. If you are ordering from multiple retailers, hold your parcels in free temporary storage and combine them into a single outbound shipment before forwarding to Sweden. Consolidation typically reduces your international shipping costs by 40 to 60 percent. One shipment, one customs declaration, one delivery. Learn more on our parcel consolidation page.

If a retailer does not accept your Swedish payment card or does not allow international checkout, our Shop & Ship service can purchase items on your behalf for a fee of 3% plus £5.00.

For Businesses — Returns Address for Swedish Sellers

If you sell on Amazon, eBay, Shopify or other marketplaces from Sweden, a professional returns address in Britain is essential for maintaining competitive seller ratings and meeting marketplace requirements. Send2Hub provides a professional returns address at our Stoke-on-Trent warehouse. Every return is automatically received, photographed and inspected on arrival — with full details and images in your real-time account dashboard the same day. Returns can be consolidated before being re-shipped to Sweden in a single cost-effective international consignment. Learn more on our e-commerce returns management page.

Sweden Customs and Import Information

Sweden is a member of the European Union and applies EU customs rules to goods arriving from Britain. Swedish VAT, known as moms, stands at 25 percent as the standard rate. A reduced rate of 12 percent applies to food and hotel accommodation. Books and newspapers carry 6 percent.

New EU customs duty from 1 July 2026

From 1 July 2026, the EU introduced a flat €3 customs duty per item category (per HS tariff code line) on all B2C parcels valued at €150 or below entering from non-EU countries including Britain. A parcel containing goods from two different product categories pays €6. For parcels above €150, standard EU customs tariff rates apply. Consolidation reduces the total customs burden — one shipment pays one set of fees rather than several.

UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement

Under the UK-EU TCA, qualifying British-origin goods entering Sweden can benefit from zero or reduced import duty rates — subject to meeting rules of origin requirements. Goods sourced outside Britain and forwarded via Send2Hub do not qualify for TCA preferential rates and are subject to standard EU customs tariffs. Use our customs duty estimator for destination-specific charges.
