Amazon is no longer just for Americans. Many Ukrainians actively use this giant marketplace, finding brands, products, and prices that are simply unavailable at home. But the main question remains: how to ensure that shipping from Amazon to Ukraine is fast, safe, and inexpensive?
Today, everything is resolved simply thanks to services that specialize in making the delivery of goods from the USA understandable even for beginners. And yes, it works.
Why Ukrainians are increasingly choosing Amazon
When you compare prices, it becomes obvious: the same product in the USA can be 30–50% cheaper than in a Ukrainian online store, and sometimes it is simply not available in Ukraine.
What is most often purchased:
- electronics (tablets, headphones, accessories),
- clothing and footwear from brands that are almost impossible to find here,
- children's toys and items with quality certificates,
- vitamins, cosmetics, books.
Amazon is about choice. And if you add to this sales, cashback, and advantageous shipping of goods from the USA to Ukraine, it results in a true win-win.
How delivery from Amazon to Ukraine works
- You register on a delivery platform (for example, EasyXpress, Meest, NP Shopping).
- You receive a personal "virtual address" at a warehouse in the USA.
- You order a product on Amazon and specify this address as the delivery point.
- The package arrives at the warehouse → it is checked → it is sent to you in Ukraine.
- You receive a notification of arrival and pick up the product at the post office or from the courier.
Everything is transparent. You see the tracking, delivery cost, timelines, and control the process.
What you need to know about customs rules and restrictions
However, it is worth remembering that there are some rules that may affect the cost of delivery:
- If the total order value does not exceed €150, no customs duty is paid.
- If the product is more expensive, you will have to pay an additional 10% customs duty and 20% VAT on the excess amount.
- Restrictions apply to products with batteries, alcohol, and aerosol cosmetics.
But most household items, clothing, or gadgets are delivered without problems. However, it is worth remembering that there are some rules that may affect the cost of delivery:

How to choose a service and not overpay
When choosing a service, pay attention to:
- cost per kilogram (usually from $6 to $12/kg);
- availability of tracking and customer support;
- the possibility of consolidating multiple packages;
- insurance and additional services (photos, checks).
A product weighing up to 1 kg (for example, a t-shirt + charger) can cost you $10–15 for delivery. And this is often still cheaper than buying the same product in a shopping mall.
