How Meest Makes Shipping to Albania Hassle-Free

Meest offers transparent and straightforward conditions for sending parcels to Albania. The service offers two convenient delivery options: airmail or sea. The first is suitable for those who value speed, because in this case the parcel usually arrives in 7–14 days.

The second option is chosen in cases where the cargo is bulky or exceeds the standard weight limit. Sea delivery will take about 4–5 weeks, but it will save on shipping. The rates are clear in advance: air — $7.99 per pound plus $45 per box, sea — $5.29 per pound plus $65 per box.

The registration process does not require any extra effort. You register the shipment in the Meest Portal, print out the waybill, and hand over the parcel to the nearest UPS/FedEx point or the Meest representative office. If it is inconvenient to travel, you can call a UPS Pick Up courier for $8, and the box will be picked up right from the door. Then all that remains is to track the movement of the parcel in the system.

What to Know about Customs when Shipping to Albania

Albanian regulations apply to all international shipments. You must declare to the customs authorities of the destination country the contents and value and calculate any duties and taxes.

Necessary Documents for Smooth Customs Clearance

A certain package of documents must accompany each parcel. The most important paper is the CN23 declaration. In it, you must indicate:

• a detailed list of contents;
• exact number of items;
• cost and currency;
• full recipient details;
• sender's contact information and e-mail;
• description of brands/models.

Once completed, print the declaration and waybill from the portal, attach the documents to the box, and make sure all fields are legible.

The shipment is no longer free, and you will need to pay a duty if the value of the goods exceeds a specific limit. Be careful and avoid mistakes in the documents. This may cause additional questions at customs.

Duties, Taxes, and Restrictions for Albania Deliveries

Albanian customs examines the declared value and product code and then determines the amount of duty. Specific restrictions and prohibitions depend on the category of items (weapons, hazardous substances, and others).

Before sending an item, check the Meest list of prohibited items and, if necessary, the official customs resources of the destination country. This will reduce the risk of delays and the costs of return or disposal.

Tips for Avoiding Delays at Customs

The main rule is transparency and accuracy. Make sure that the cost of goods is realistic and supported by receipts or invoices. Discrepancies often lead to additional inquiries.

Also, indicate the contact number of the recipient of the box. May need this information for sending notifications. Check the classification of your goods before filling out all the paperwork — avoid mistakes.

Packing Your Parcel for Albania: Tips and Best Practices

If you want the product to reach the recipient in its original condition, the first thing you should worry about is reliable packaging. Fix heavy items so that they do not shift inside. For sets, separate the items and sign the packages — this simplifies the inspection and assembly of the order for the recipient. Here are some critical points that you should consider before sending the goods:

• sufficient rigidity of the box;
• good protection of corners and seams;
• absence of voids;
• fragile items should be accompanied by additional compaction;
• there should be no free movement;
• labels should be glued evenly.

After closing the box, shake it slightly: if you hear play, add filler or rearrange the items. Label fragile items, but do not rely only on stickers — proper internal protection is primary.
