DDP shipping to Andorra for predictable total costs

With DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipments, the sender covers the agreed import duties and costs. The recipient therefore receives the shipment, ideally without any additional payment upon delivery.

This can be particularly useful for online shops and business customers. However, not every shipping provider offers full DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service to Andorra.

The following questions should be clarified before booking:

• Does the service provider DDP offer support for travel to Andorra?
• Who is acting as the importer?
• What IGI (Income Tax) is levied on the goods?
• Does the product belong to the customs union?
• Are there any excise taxes?
• Who pays the handling fees?
• Is an import permit required?
• Does the recipient need an Andorran tax identification number?

DDP is particularly suitable for:

• Sales to private customers
• Spare parts with a fixed total price
• Warranty and replacement deliveries
• high-quality business mailings
• regular deliveries to retailers
• Online orders with transparent final pricing

Alternatively, the shipment can be sent as DAP (Delivered to Works). In this case, the recipient normally pays the IGI (Income Tax), any applicable duties and local fees.

The recipient should be informed before the package is sent. Otherwise, they can refuse acceptance.

Are there any customs fees for shipments to Andorra?

Andorra is not a member of the European Union. The principality is also not part of the regular EU customs or VAT territory.

However, a customs union has existed between Andorra and the EU since 1990. It covers industrial products from chapters 25 to 97 of the Harmonised System. Within the customs union, these goods are generally subject to free movement. European Commission: Customs union with Andorra

Industrial products of chapters 25 to 97

For industrial products that are already in free circulation within the customs union, no standard customs duties are usually levied upon import into Andorra.

These include, for example:

• Machine
• Electronics
• Tools
• Apparel
• Furniture
• car parts
• sports equipment
• housewares
• plastics
• Metal goods

Nevertheless, shipping and tax documents are required, as Andorra levies its own indirect tax.

For goods from a third country, it can also be crucial whether they have already been properly imported into the EU and cleared through customs.

Food and agricultural products

Goods listed in HS Chapters 1 to 24 are excluded from the Customs Union. These include, among others:

• Food products
• Drinks
• Alcohol
• Tobacco products
• Animals
• Plants
• Grain crop
• Meat
• Dairy Products
• processed foods

Andorra can levy an excise duty on these products. The general rates are often 0, 1, 2, or 3 percent. However, special amounts or different rates apply to certain goods. This includes, for example, alcohol, tobacco, and some live animals. Government of Andorra: Customs duties and excise taxes

The customs tariff number must therefore be precisely determined before shipment.

What is the VAT rate in Andorra?

Andorra uses its own indirect tax system. The tax is called Indirect General Impost, short IGI.

The general IGI rate is 4,5 percentThis puts it significantly below the German VAT rate.

In addition, there are other tax rates:

The specific rate depends on the goods and their classification. The Andorran tax authorities confirm the general rate of 4,5 percent as well as the subsequent rates. Government of Andorra: IGI tax rates

Andorra is not part of the EU VAT area.

The euro and geographical location often lead to misunderstandings. Although Andorra uses the euro, it is not part of the EU VAT area. European Commission: Territorial scope of value added tax

Therefore, a shipment of goods from Germany must not be treated like a normal intra-community delivery.

A tax-free export delivery may be possible if the legal requirements are met. However, the seller must retain appropriate proof of export.

What customs documents are required for Andorra?

A commercial invoice or pro forma invoice is usually required for goods.

The invoice should contain the following information:

• Name and address of the sender
• full recipient address
• Recipient's telephone number
• detailed product description
• number of pieces
• Price
• Total value
• Currency
• Net and gross weight
• Customs tariff number
• Country of origin
• Reason for shipment
• Delivery terms
• bill number
• Date of invoice

For multiple items or packages, a packing list is also useful.

Depending on the goods, further documents may be required:

• Export accompanying document
• Import permit
• Certificate of Origin
• Proof of customs status
• technical product description
• Safety Data Sheet
• health certificate
• Plant health certificate
• Proof of conformity
• Dangerous goods declaration
• Battery documentation

Export declaration from Germany

Andorra is a non-EU country. Therefore, it must be checked whether an electronic export declaration is required.

A formal registration becomes particularly relevant if:

• the shipment value exceeds 1.000 euros,
• the own mass is more than 1.000 kilograms,
• the goods are subject to approval
• Prohibitions or restrictions exist,
• A special customs procedure is used.

German customs cites 1.000 euros or 1.000 kilograms as the central limit for the simplified single-stage procedure. German Customs: Export of goods in a single-stage procedure

For DHL Parcel shipments with a customs value exceeding €1.000, registration via ATLAS or IAA-Plus is required before handover. The export accompanying document must be included with the shipment. DHL Country Information 2026

Use accurate product description

General terms such as "parts", "goods", "samples" or "accessories" are not sufficient.

A suitable description would be, for example:

“Four aluminum mounting brackets for commercial solar panels”

This description specifies quantity, material, product, and use.

Common mistakes when shipping to Andorra

Many problems arise because Andorra is treated like an EU member. Although the country uses the euro and has a customs union with the EU, it is not part of the EU VAT area.

Other typical mistakes include:

• The commercial invoice is missing.
• The shipment was booked as an EU domestic shipment.
• The IGI was not taken into account.
• The postal code does not contain "AD".
• The recipient's phone number is missing.
• The product description is too general.
• The value of the goods was stated as zero euros.
• The customs tariff number is incorrect.
• The country of origin is missing.
• Food products were treated like industrial products.
• The scope of the customs union was misjudged.
• A required export declaration is missing.
• DDP was booked without checking availability.
• The import permit is not available.
• Dangerous goods were not declared correctly.
• The package is larger than necessary.
• Winter runtime extensions were not planned.

Careful preparation prevents many questions during check-in.
