Discusses the prevalence and reliability of express delivery firms within the country, time from large U.S. cities, and relevant customs procedures, including de minimis amounts.
Last Published: 7/26/2019

Major express delivery service providers, such as FedEx, UPS, DHL, and EMS (operated by Macedonian Post) serve North Macedonia.  Express shipping from large U.S. cities generally takes from three or four business days (FedEx, UPS, and DHL) to a week (EMS). 

International postal traffic is subject to customs supervision in accordance with local customs and postal laws and international postal regulations.  Customs procedures are sometimes unduly burdensome.  Goods that pass-through customs are released only after the payment of required duties.  Currently, the de minimis threshold for goods that pass through customs is about 1,350 denars (per  National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia [NBRNM – the Central Bank]  May 2019 middle exchange rate: US$24.00).
