Shipping TipsComfortable: Bhutan is a logistically complex destination: there are no direct flights from Europe. International couriers (DHL, FedEx) transit via India (mainly Kolkata or Delhi), which adds 1–3 days to transit times. For areas outside Thimphu, always check feasibility before booking.
The cost is higher than average due to the logistical complexity (transit via India and delivery to a mountainous area).

ℹ️ International courier services in Bhutan are mainly limited to Thimphu e Paro. For rural destinations and remote dzongkhags (districts), please contact us before booking.
All shipments go via India. Delivery times are longer than for other Asian destinations.
📍 Milan → Thimphu: 5–7 days (express, via the India hub)
⚠️ Allow an extra 2–4 days for Bhutanese customs checks. During national holidays and the monsoon season (June–September), delivery times may be further extended. Deliveries to rural and mountainous areas may require multiple stages.
Bhutan is outside the EU: Every consignment passes through Bhutan Customs (Department of Revenue and Customs). Required documents:
Bhutan applies variable customs duties and a Sales Tax 7–50% depending on the product category. Some products considered to be luxury or non-essential items are subject to high rates of duty. The de minimis threshold for personal use is low.
🚫 Narcotics (Bhutan has one of the strictest anti-drug policies in the world), weapons, pornographic material, and items harmful to Bhutanese Buddhist culture. The tobacco is subject to strict restrictions: Bhutan is one of the few countries in the world that bans the retail sale of tobacco products.
⚠️ Tobacco: Bhutan has very restrictive regulations on tobacco. Importation for personal use is permitted only in very small quantities, subject to high customs duties. Do not send tobacco commercially.
Bhutan follows the Tibetan lunar calendar: the dates of many public holidays vary from year to year.
⚠️ In Bhutan, festivals (Tsechu) take place on different dates in each district throughout the year, according to the lunar calendar. During these periods, local administrative activities slow down. Always check beforehand if you are sending urgent parcels.
Districts (Dzongkhag): Bhutan is divided into 20 dzongkhags. In rural and mountainous areas (e.g. Bumthang, Trashigang, Gasa), deliveries are often made in several stages, with a change of transport in Thimphu.
Bhutan uses a relatively recent addressing system. The postcode consists of 5 figures.
💡 Advice: 5-digit postcode (e.g. 11001 for Thimphu). International dialling code +975. For Thimphu: +975 2 (landline); mobile +975 17 or +975 77. Always include the name of the area or neighbourhood — Bhutanese addresses do not always use traditional house numbers.

Bhutan is a small Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas, covering an area of around 38,000 km² and with a population of fewer than 800,000 — one of the smallest populations in the world. Capital: Thimphu. Official language: Dzongkha. Currency: Bhutanese ngultrum (BTN), pegged to the Indian rupee.
Bhutan is world-renowned for its index of GNH (Gross National Happiness) — Gross National Happiness — which measures collective well-being rather than GDP. It is one of the few countries in the world that measures progress in terms of happiness rather than economic growth.
Among the most iconic sites is the Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) — the quintessential symbol of Bhutan — built at an altitude of 3,120 metres on a cliff face.
🇮🇹 Ties between Italy and Bhutan are limited but do exist: Italian tourism to Bhutan is on the rise (Bhutan requires a special visa and a daily tourist fee), and a number of cultural and environmental cooperation agreements link the two nations. Shipments from Italy to Bhutan are mainly for personal use (expatriates, aid workers, resident tourists) and niche commercial samples.

I relied on them for a shipment to Spain and everything went perfectly. The service was always available and comprehensive. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend!
I contacted them for a quote for a delivery to Australia. Timely and attentive: they noticed a missing document and requested it immediately. Delivery to destination and I saved about 30%.
I left with very low expectations, but EXCELLENT RESULT! Ordered at 11am, by 2.30pm they were already picking up the parcel, delivered after not even 24 hours. Astonishing.
I am a student away from home and I always rely on them for parcels downstairs. Great service and helpful staff. Approved!!!

Easy to use service and very responsive team from start to finish. The package arrived 2 days earlier than expected and the cost was around 30% lower than what I was used to paying for the same service.
I am an American girl who has been living in Europe for 2 years. I have tried many sites, but as quality/price this one is always very good. I can always count on Convenient Shipping to get the gifts to my family in America.
I placed the order and after an hour the courier was already at my door to collect the parcel. Delivery time amply respected. I will definitely use the service again.
Positive experience: I got comprehensive answers in a short time. The communication reached both me as the sender and the recipient. Collection and delivery took place as indicated, good price. Congratulations.
