The time depends on the service chosen and the delivery area. In general, a shipment from Italy to Iceland often requires 4-10 working days as an indicative reference. The time may increase if the delivery is outside the main centres or if the shipment requires more extensive customs checks.

Practical advice ShippingComfortable: always enter the actual dimensions length × width × height, because for bulky parcels it can affect the volumetric weight. Add telephone + email of the recipient reduces delivery attempts and delays.

Customs documents for Iceland (non-EU) 🧾🌍

Iceland is not part of the European Union, so shipping may require accurate customs documentation. To reduce the risk of demands or delays in customs clearance, always prepare complete documents with accurate descriptions.

Most important documents

  • Commercial invoice or proforma with detailed description, quantity and value
  • Declaration of Free Export
  • Complete data of sender and addressee
  • For companies: possible EORI code where required for export

Shipping tipComfortable: Avoid vague descriptions such as “gift” or “clothes”. Better to indicate specific items, e.g. “cotton t-shirt”, “sports shoes”, “auto parts”, with consistent quantity and value.

Iceland - Further Information 🇮🇸

L’Iceland is an island located in the North Atlantic, with capital Reykjavík, famous for its spectacular landscapes: active volcanoes, geysers, waterfalls and large glaciers. Among the best known attractions are the Blue Lagoon and the Golden Circle, which attract visitors from all over the world every year.

An interesting fact: Iceland is one of the most advanced countries in the world in the use of geothermal and renewable energy, so much so that most dwellings are heated naturally by the heat of the subsoil.

From a gastronomic point of view, typical dishes include the lamb stew and fresh fish, while local drinks include Icelandic craft beers.

🇮🇹 Ties with Italy

Although geographically distant, Iceland has active relations with Italy, especially in the sectors:

  • energy and geothermal energy (technical and scientific collaborations)
  • tourism, with an increasing number of Italians visiting the country every year
  • trade, with exchanges of food, technology and design

In recent years, a small but active community of resident Italians has also developed, particularly in Reykjavík, making shipments from Italy more frequent for both personal and professional reasons.

Thanks to international connections, shipping to Iceland from Italy is possible and reliable, although times may be slightly longer than for continental European destinations.
