ICELANDIC IMPORT CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS
Customs, VAT, and Documentation for Iceland
VAT, Restrictions, and EORI Number
Because Iceland is outside the EU, all shipments require careful customs preparation. We work closely with our trusted customs partners to complete declarations accurately, reducing the risk of clearance delays. UK businesses must provide a valid EORI number, and goods must comply with Icelandic import rules. Certain products may be subject to inspection or additional paperwork, so early preparation is essential. The standard VAT rate in Iceland is 24 percent, so businesses should factor this into their cost planning when exporting.
Our experienced staff will guide you through this process, from preparing invoices and packing lists to making certain all documentation matches Icelandic requirements.
We deliver a service that is straightforward, cost-effective, and dependable. Whether you ship regular palletised consignments or occasional full loads, our network and knowledge of UK–Iceland trade routes mean your goods are collected by road, shipped across the North Atlantic by sea, and delivered with the reliability your business depends on. With competitive pricing, professional handling, and proactive support, we make road and sea freight to Iceland simpler for UK companies looking to expand or maintain their presence in this unique market.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate Iceland |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 24% |
| Reduced rate goods and services (e.g.,books, CD's) | 11% |
| The Zero-rate(Certain services) | 0% |
