Buy in Denmark, Shipped to Iceland
Your Danish purchase, sent on to Iceland. New goods with a receipt, received in Copenhagen, checked, repacked and tracked to your ground floor.
In short
GIA ships brand-new furniture, lighting and design pieces bought from Danish shops to private buyers and companies in Iceland, including from shops that will not ship to Iceland themselves. Your goods need their original packaging and a receipt. GIA receives or collects them in Copenhagen, inspects and repacks them, and ships them on, tracked on giaservice.dk. Icelandic VAT, any duty and the clearance are paid by the receiver, and delivery is to the ground floor.

Importing your Danish purchase into Iceland
Iceland is in the European Economic Area but not in the EU customs union, so goods sent from Denmark go through Icelandic customs, run by Skatturinn (Iceland Revenue and Customs). Import charges, including VAT, are paid on imported goods unless the law says otherwise.
| VAT | The general VAT rate in Iceland is 24%, with a reduced rate of 11% for some goods such as food and books. |
|---|---|
| Customs duty | Iceland removed tariffs on most consumer goods in 2016 and 2017. Agricultural products are treated differently. |
| Who pays | The receiver pays VAT, any duty and the clearance. GIA prepares the export documents in Denmark, and the shop’s receipt serves as the commercial invoice. |
| Pallets | Shipments to Iceland travel on heat treated, stamped Euro pallets. |
Delivery to the ground floor in Iceland
The shipment is handed over at street level at your address. Carrying the goods upstairs or into an apartment is arranged by the receiver. Tell us about access in winter or narrow streets in the request.
