Canadian exports to Austria are surging, powered by the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). In 2026, the key to scaling your European footprint isn't just low-cost shipping—it's the integration of AI-driven compliance and seamless VAT management.
In this Canada to Austria shipping guide, we cover:
For individuals shipping personal packages, the best options are available via Canada Post website
For heavier shipments, regular volume and commercial shipments: Contact Jetship for rates
For shipping personal effects: Best to contact a moving specialist.
Every shipment from Canada to Austria must be accompanied by a digital commercial invoice. Austrian customs assess duty and taxes on the CIF Value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). In 2026, the precision of your HS Codes is non-negotiable.
Austria’s standard VAT (MwSt) is 20%. For Shopify and e-commerce sellers, registering for IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) allows you to collect VAT at checkout, facilitating "Green Channel" clearance into Austria.
Under CETA, you don't need a formal certificate. You simply include a Declaration of Origin on your invoice. This is the ultimate "low-cost" hack for Canadian manufacturers.
Modern shippers are moving away from manual spreadsheets. Here is how to use AI right now:
