Avoid common problems when shipping to Monaco
Monaco is wrongly treated as a classic third country.
Although Monaco is not an EU member, it is part of the common customs territory. Therefore, standard import customs clearance is not required for ordinary EU goods.
The recipient address is incomplete.
In addition to name, street, and house number, the address should include the postal code 98000 and the destination country, MONACO. For businesses, additional building or floor information is helpful.
The wrong destination country is selected.
Monaco should be selected as a separate destination country in the booking system. Only use France if the shipping provider explicitly requires it.
Package dimensions were estimated
Incorrect measurements or weights can lead to recalculations. Therefore, only record the data after packaging is complete.
The value of the goods is not adequately secured.
For jewelry, watches, art, or electronics, the standard liability of the shipping provider may not be sufficient. Therefore, check the insurance coverage and any exclusions.
The recipient's phone number is missing.
Monaco has many buildings with reception areas, access controls, or special delivery instructions. A telephone number can facilitate delivery coordination.

Shipping information: Monaco
Which shipping method is suitable for Monaco?
Monaco can be reached using various shipping methods. The right solution depends on the weight, package dimensions, and desired delivery time.
Standard Delivery
Standard shipping is suitable for normal packages without any particular time pressure. It often offers a good balance between price and delivery time.
Express Shipping
Express shipping is suitable for urgent documents, spare parts, and high-value goods. Shipments receive priority processing and transport.
Pallet shipping
Heavy or large goods can be transported to Monaco on a pallet. The goods must be securely fastened and must not protrude unprotected beyond the edge of the pallet.
Freight shipping
For furniture, machinery, event technology or particularly bulky shipments, individually planned freight transport can be useful.
The services available depend on the pickup address, the destination address, and the shipment details.
How do packages get to Monaco?
Most shipments are transported by road. The route runs from Germany through France to the Côte d'Azur.
Packages are first collected in Germany and taken to a sorting center. The main cross-border transport then takes place. In southern France, the shipment is handed over to the regional delivery network for Monaco.
Express shipments use prioritized transport connections. Depending on the shipping provider, part of the journey may be covered by air freight.
Pallets and freight are generally transported by truck. Due to the dense development in Monaco, special delivery conditions may apply to large vehicles. This should be taken into account, especially for bulky shipments.
Are there any import duties when delivering to Monaco?
For ordinary EU goods shipped from Germany to Monaco, no standard import duties are generally levied. This is because Monaco is treated like French territory for customs purposes.
A commercial invoice or pro forma invoice is therefore not normally required for import customs clearance. However, for business deliveries, an invoice may be necessary as commercial or tax documentation.
Different rules may apply in the following cases:
- Non-Union goods
- Goods from a customs warehouse
- products subject to excise duty
- Goods subject to special customs procedures
- goods requiring approval
If there is any uncertainty, the status of the goods should be checked before shipping.
How much does a package to Monaco cost?
Shipping costs depend on the specific package details. Therefore, there is no fixed price for every shipment to Monaco.
The price is primarily influenced by:
- actual package weight
- Length, width and height
- calculated volumetric weight
- Pickup location in Germany
- Standard or express shipping
- Number of packages
- Delivery address in Monaco
- desired additional services
- Value of goods and insurance
- Type of broadcast
For large but lightweight boxes, the volumetric weight can be higher than the actual weight. Therefore, you should only measure the shipment once it is fully packed.

Monaco, with its high purchasing power, is an attractive target market for select online retailers. High-end fashion, jewelry, electronics, cosmetics, and home furnishings are particularly in demand.

- First and Last Name
- Companies, if any

For VAT purposes, Monaco is treated like France. Therefore, European distance selling regulations must be observed for cross-border sales to private customers.
If the relevant EU sales threshold is exceeded, taxation in the country of destination may be required. Depending on the individual circumstances, the declaration can be made via the One-Stop-Shop procedure.
A Shipping integration Order data can be imported, and shipping labels and tracking information can be processed centrally.
What should be considered when shipping to Monaco?
Monaco uses its own country code and should be selected as a separate destination country in the booking system. The standard postal code is 98000.
An address can be structured like this, for example:
Jean martin
17 Rue Grimaldi
98000 Monaco
MONACO
For large residential complexes, hotels, or commercial buildings, additional information should be provided. This includes, for example, the building name, floor, apartment number, or department.
Monaco is very densely built. Therefore, access, parking, and unloading of pallets or bulky goods may be limited. Making an appointment in advance may be advisable in such cases.
For high-value goods, you should also check whether the goods are accepted by the shipping provider and can be adequately insured.
Compare shipping providers for Monaco
Depending on weight, size and desired transit time, different parcel, express and freight providers are suitable.
Not every shipping provider offers the same services for every address and every type of goods. Differences exist, for example, in:
- Runtime
- Package dimensions
- maximum weight
- Express options
- pick-up service
- Liability
- Insurance
- Delivery notification
- Pallet and freight transport
For valuable goods, the lowest price should not be the sole deciding factor. Also check the liability limits and excluded goods.
