The island in the Mediterranean Sea is divided into the Republic of Cyprus (Greek) and Northern Cyprus (Turkish). While Northern Cyprus is only recognised by Turkey, shipping to Northern Cyprus therefore requires extra consciousness.
Parcels going to Northern Cyprus must be sent via Turkey
Parcels going to Northern Cyprus must be sent via Turkey and not via Cyprus, otherwise there may be delays or returns of parcels / documents. For the postal address, it is essential that you write MERSIN 10 Turkey, address, name, P.O. Box number and postcode
Customs formalities for Cyprus
Required documents
When sending a parcel from Switzerland to Cyprus, please enclose the proforma invoice which is automatically generated by Expedismart. For a new product you have just purchased, the proforma invoice is not the receipt you received from the shop. The proforma invoice is used to inform customs about the contents of your parcel. When reselling the goods after arrival in the country, the shipment must be accompanied by a commercial invoice, which can also be created automatically on Expedismart. For high value goods, we recommend that you take out insurance. The cost of insurance is 1% of the declared value of the goods. If you wish, you can arrange this directly when preparing the shipment. For insurance, Expedismart has a partnership with AXA Winterthur.
