Can i send mobile phone through royal mail to germany

Yes, you can send a mobile phone through Royal Mail to Germany, but there are some important considerations and regulations to keep in mind:

  1. Customs Declaration: You'll need to declare the value of the phone and its contents on the customs declaration form. This is a legal requirement and failure to do so can result in fines or even the phone being confiscated.
  2. Value Limit: There's a value limit of €45 for sending goods to Germany without paying duty and taxes. If the value of your phone exceeds this limit, you'll need to pay duty and taxes on arrival.
  3. Prohibited Items: Certain items, such as phones with SIM cards or phones that are locked to a specific network, may be prohibited or restricted from being sent to Germany. Check with Royal Mail and the German customs authorities to ensure your phone complies with regulations.
  4. Packaging: Make sure to properly package the phone to prevent damage during transit. Use a sturdy box, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts to cushion the phone.
  5. Insurance: Consider purchasing insurance to cover the phone against loss, damage, or theft during transit.
  6. Tracking: Use a tracked service, such as Royal Mail's International Tracked & Signed or International Signed services, to ensure you can track the package and prove delivery.
  7. German Customs Regulations: Germany has specific regulations regarding the importation of electronic devices, including mobile phones. You can find more information on the German customs website (Zoll.de).
