ParcelABC then shows the carriers and services available for this shipment, you compare them by price, estimated delivery and service type, and you book the one that fits. Depending on the service, one carrier or several logistics partners move the parcel. How ParcelABC works.

Do I need customs documents from United Kingdom to Hungary?
That depends on whether both countries are inside the EU customs union. Parcels between two EU member states need no customs declaration, and no import duty or import VAT is charged. If United Kingdom or Hungary is outside the EU customs union, the parcel needs a customs declaration, which you complete during booking, and the customs authority in Hungary may charge import duty and taxes on the declared value. Some territories, such as the Canary Islands, have special rules. Customs duties guide.
