Customs Advice
The importation of certain products into a country is restricted in order to protect the economy and
safety of its citizens. The restrictions may be imposed by Customs or by any other agency which has
regulatory authority.
We provide a shipping service only and Customs at the parcel's destination will determine whether any
charges are payable on your package. All duties, taxes and/or quarantine fees applied are at the
discretion of local customs or governmental organisations and are out of our control.
If the addressee refuses to pay duties/taxes, the parcel may be held, returned (if allowed by Customs)
or destroyed, and additional costs may be incurred. As per Terms and Conditions, those charges will be
billed to the sender.
Please note, no shipping costs are recoverable for parcels held or destroyed, even if shipping
protection cover has been purchased.
Majority of parcels can be delivered door to door, once it has cleared customs at destination. However,
some countries have a door to airport service only. In those countries, the recipients may have to
present themselves to either Customs or the local courier's office to take possession of their
consignment.
We advise you to verify independently, all Customs, Governmental and Quarantine regulations. These rules
can and do frequently change without prior notice or recourse.

Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Sweden is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

If you're one of our business customers then features like our bulk upload facility, personal corporate care and a pricing policy that rewards bulk and repeat business will make us your first choice for shipping to Uppsala.

There are occasions, however, when the overriding priority for someone booking an Uppsala parcel delivery is speed, and at times like these we always rise to meet the challenge.
Uppsala is the fourth largest city in Sweden and lies just 70 km north of the capital, Stockholm. Historically, it has always been looked upon as the religious centre of the country, being the seat of the Archbishop of the Church of Sweden. Alongside this, Uppsala is also home to Uppsala University, the oldest higher education establishment in Scandinavia. The modern-day economy of Uppsala is based largely upon the fields of medical research and biotechnology, with leading companies in these fields including GE Healthcare, Pfizer and Advanced Medical Optics. Geographically, the city is divided by the River Fyris, with the historic quarter of the city being situated to the west of the river, whilst the more modern commercial, residential and administrative areas lie to the east.
