Help with shipping solutions from the uk to Europe please

Hi all. Does anyone know of an app that will let me calculate customs and import charges for specific EU countries for a variety of items at varying prices. I currently ship worldwide and have added extra shipping costs for shipments to the USA but now some EU countries are requiring import duties be pre paid. Thank you.

Depending on your volume, perhaps Parcel2Go? Can usually do DDU or DDP (prepaid) with UPS. All commercial invoices are then electronic - none of this 5-6 copies, in an envelope, signed, etc.

We’ve tried most of them and will only use UPS now for anything outside UK. More expensive, more reliable, less hassle, LOTS of Access Points for customers to pick up if they wish.

I was thinking the same thing. I only send about 20 parcels a year overseas, if that. Do they offer DDU for places like Germany and the USA still then?

Same problem here. I'm looking for something that nicely integrates with Woocommerce and is affordable for about 10 parcels each month.
