Shipping to Lithuania: what to know

Lithuanian customs applies the EU Union Customs Code, with electronic declarations and strict controls at the EU's external border. Sanctions screening and export controls are especially relevant for shipments to and from the region.

With our own team in Lithuania and in Germany, Sweden and Estonia, we can clear goods into the EU at the Baltic gateway and move them on across the single market.
