Genarelly we offer 3 choices of shipping your Icelandic products, not all of them may be an option depending on your location:

- Priority Shipping: Estimated shipping time is 10-25 working days. No automated updates but fully traceable.
- Economy shipping: Reliable but not very fast. Shipping time 1-4 weeks (Europe) and 2-8 weeks (USA)
Estimated shipping prices for DHL:

Every kg adds approximately $5 to the shipping cost
Customs
You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. This especially applies to the EU countries, Canada and Australia! Additional charges for customs clearance must be by buyer; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. EU residents can expect to pay VAT in their home countries.
Customs policies vary widely from country to country. You should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, when ordering from The Icelandic Store you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods.
Please note.: Should you refuse delivery of a package because of import duties upon arrival the package will be sent back to us. You will be responsible for any cost involved.
Your privacy is important to us, and we know that you care about how information about your order is used and shared. We would like our international customers and customers shipping products internationally to be aware that cross-border shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.
Also, we may provide certain order, shipment and product information, such as brands and content, to our international carriers, and such information may be communicated by the carriers to customs authorities in order to facilitate customs clearance and comply with local laws.
If the order is a gift, the package is marked "Gift," but the cost of the item is still stated on the customs form. Customs authorities require us to state the value of the gift item directly on the package.
There are no additional fees, customs duties or taxes charged in Iceland for export. For products to be delivered in Iceland, a VAT of 24,0% will be added.

Shipping fees include handling and packing fees as well as postage costs. Handling fees are fixed, whereas transport fees vary according to total weight of the shipment.
