International Shipping from / to Faroe Islands

Who ships to Faroe Islands?

Smyril Line is a passenger ferry that runs between Iceland and the Faroe Islands that does handle a bit of minor shipping to and fro.  ISP Parcel, FedEx and UPS all ship there, catering to small and medium sized shipments.  NEX, Ameri Cargo and Atlantic Brokers are good companies to look into if you have something larger to ship and need to use a container to do so. No matter who you end up choosing, you will want to make sure they have the proper insurance in place in case anything were to happen to your goods while in their care.

Required documents when shipping to Faroe Islands

The documents you need when shipping to the Faroe Islands may vary based on what specifically you are shipping.  But as a rule of thumb, you should have a Bill of Lading and a Certificate of Origin filled out for all shipments.  You will fill out a declared value of your items which the Customs department will use to assess a duty if it is valued at above a certain threshold.  If you are trying to ship certain restricted items, like some live plants for example, then you will need to obtain prior permission and a permit to do so and have them affixed to your shipment for review at the border.  Failure to have the proper paperwork in order when shipping can and will cause delays in your goods getting delivered to their recipients.  If you have questions on what to fill out, check with the Customs' department in the Faroe Islands or with your shipping company.
