The first time I shipped products from China to Europe, I underestimated two things: how complicated European customs can be — and how expensive it is to get a package past them. A 2kg parcel to Germany cost me over €50, and I still had to pay duties on arrival.
That’s when I started looking for better logistics solutions, and that’s how I found GoNest.
For anyone shipping to Europe — whether you’re a private buyer in Spain, a reseller in France, or a business sourcing from China — the key is to balance delivery speed, customs handling, and price transparency. Here’s how GoNest does exactly that.
Why Europe Is a Tough but Valuable Shipping Destination
The EU is one of the world’s largest consumer markets, but it also has:
- Strict customs enforcement
- High VAT and import taxes
- Different rules for different countries (especially for branded goods and electronics)
If you’ve ever had a parcel stuck in customs in Italy or France, you know how frustrating it can be. That’s why having a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping line is no longer optional — it’s essential.

- Free insurance

How GoNest Handles Customs for Europe
Unlike traditional couriers that leave you to deal with customs clearance, GoNest’s DDP service means:
- No surprise VAT bills
- No delays from incomplete paperwork
- No seizures due to undeclared brand names
Whether you’re shipping to Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands or Spain, GoNest prepares accurate documentation, shields brand identifiers (if needed), and ensures packages pass through customs smoothly.
What Real Users Are Saying
A reseller in Belgium told us:
“I used to lose 20–30% of my profit just on customs fees and return packages. Now with GoNest’s EU DDP line, everything is declared correctly and my customers get their parcels on time — no questions asked.”
