Send Packages to the Solomon Islands

Welcome to MDE. The Solomon Islands are one of the world's few countries without VAT: what you pay at the border is duty (most lines at 10%) and a 15% goods tax with a peculiar base. Nearly everything enters through Honiara and clearance has been modernised with ASYCUDA. Here are the real figures and the local quirks.

Proper packaging

  1. Packaging Materials: We use strong boxes and cushioning materials such as air bubbles, kraft paper or packing peanuts.
  2. Sealing: All boxes are protected with film and sealed with strong adhesive tape and stickers.
  3. Reusable boxes: We try to reuse boxes whenever we can to reduce our pollution footprint as much as possible.
  4. Repackaging: If you need to change the packaging of your goods, we are here to help you.

We take care of your merchandise as if they were ours!

Shipping costs, times and options

  • Carriers: We work only with trusted carriers with guarantees, such as DHL, UPS, TNT, Fedex and other locations in each country where we operate.
  • Shipping addresses: You can send to the carrier's home or collection point.
  • Shipping Costs: Find out about shipping rates depending on the weight, size of the package and the chosen service. You can calculate shipping costs using the transportation quote.
  • Estimated Deadlines:
    • Delivery times vary depending on the carrier and the service selected.
    • On average, shipments from Europe to the Solomon Islands take between 5 to 10 days
  • Shipping Options:
    • Standard delivery: Economical but with longer delivery times.
    • Delivery with stopover: Combination of couriers with stopover at a warehouse in the network so that you save as much as possible, with longer delivery times.
    • Express delivery: More expensive but guarantees longer deliveries fast.
  • Shipping Insurance:
    • Basic insurance included. In case of incidents, €6.67/kg domestic and €10/kg international will be covered.
    • Optional premium insurance with full coverage based on the declared value of the package.

All shipments have a tracking number included!

Restrictions and Regulations

Prohibited Items: Two modern bans stand out over the classic list:

  • Single-use plastics: import banned since September 2023 (bags, straws, food polystyrene); do not use them even as parcel filler.
  • The universal list: drugs, unlicensed weapons, obscene material and counterfeits.

Restricted Items:

  • Plants, seeds, animals and their products: mandatory prior permit from Biosecurity Solomon Islands (BSI) under the Biosecurity Act 2013; the government itself has warned that importing seeds without a permit is illegal.
  • Refrigerant gases and CITES specimens: specific licence.
  • Second-hand clothing: a local curiosity: its trade is reserved by law to Solomon Islands citizens; as an individual you can receive used garments for your own use, but not to resell.
  • Medicines: personal use with a prescription; controlled ones, with prior health permit.

Customs procedures

  • Package Review: Clearance is handled by the Customs and Excise Division of the Ministry of Finance in Honiara's "Long Room", on ASYCUDA World since 2015: today almost 40% of shipments are released immediately (in 2016 it was 5%). Mail arrives via Brisbane with Solomon Post.
  • No VAT (for now): the Solomons have no general VAT. You pay duty (the vast majority of lines at 10%) and the 15% goods tax, which for a private importer is calculated on a base of 130% of CIF plus duty (19.5% effective). The 15% VAT meant to replace it is still in parliament: not yet in force.
  • Worked example: 200 dollars of clothing with ~50 in freight (CIF ≈ 1,990 SBD) pays ~199 SBD duty + ~427 goods tax: about 626 Solomon dollars (~79 USD), around 31% of CIF.
  • Allowance: there is no officially confirmed de minimis (a 1,000 SBD figure circulates on third-party sites, but customs does not publish it): plan on paying and, if your shipment is small, ask first.
  • Paperwork: commercial invoice and waybill; BSI permits if the contents are plant or animal.
  • Timing: 8 to 15 working days from Europe depending on service (mail routes via Brisbane), plus clearance in Honiara; the inter-island leg is the slow one: plan with margin.
  • MDE tip: almost everything enters through Honiara and inter-island logistics is slow: if your final stop is another island, DHL also reaches Auki and Gizo via its local agent. Consolidate and document properly: ASYCUDA's "immediate release" only goes to shipments with impeccable papers.

Frequently asked questions about shipping to the Solomon Islands

What items cannot be sent to The Solomon Islands?

The Solomons ban drugs and unlicensed weapons; strict island biosecurity on plant and animal products. Check the restrictions section on this page before buying; it has the full list with the nuances.

Do I need to declare the package contents and value?

Yes, always. The Customs and Excise Division clears in Honiara's "Long Room" with ASYCUDA World: nearly 40% of shipments now release immediately. Mail arrives via Brisbane with Solomon Post. Declare the real purchase value: obvious undervaluation means retention and penalties that cost more than the tax. We prepare the declaration for you from your invoice.

What happens if my package contains restricted items?

Natural products need biosecurity permits; medicines a prescription; the ASYCUDA file holds until payments complete. If the permit never arrives, or the item is outright prohibited, it gets seized. That is why it pays to ask us BEFORE buying any regulated product: we will tell you which paper it needs and how to get it.

What additional costs can I expect when sending a package to The Solomon Islands?

No general VAT (for now): you pay duty (the great majority of lines at 10%) plus the 15% goods tax computed on a base of 130% of CIF plus duty (~19.5% effective). Typical total ~30% of value. The quoting tool gives the exact breakdown. The courier may add a small clearance handling fee. Our quoting tool shows the real total before you buy.

How can I make sure my package arrives on time?

Three keys: express shipping, a clear invoice with the real value (avoids manual review) and no regulated item without its prior permit. Consolidating in your MDE locker also helps: one well-documented shipment clears better than several small ones.

How long does a package take to arrive in The Solomon Islands?

8 to 15 working days from Europe depending on service (mail routes via Brisbane), plus clearance in Honiara. Your MDE dashboard shows the real options with their timelines before you trigger the shipment.

What should I do if my package is held at customs?

Don\'t panic: most holds are about paperwork, not violations. The courier notifies you of the reason; it is almost always solved by providing the purchase invoice, the prescription or the missing permit. Write to us with your tracking number and we will manage the case with you until release.

How can I track my package?

Every shipment includes a tracking number. Follow it on the carrier\'s site or straight from your MDE dashboard, stage by stage: departure from our warehouse, transit, customs clearance and delivery in The Solomon Islands.

What documents do I need to send a package to The Solomon Islands?

For normal purchases, just the invoice or receipt with the real value: we prepare the rest of the export paperwork and the declaration. Invoice with real value; nothing exotic: the ASYCUDA system does the rest.

Can I send gifts to The Solomon Islands and how should I declare them?

Yes, declared at real value; no gift allowance: they pay duty + goods tax like any shipment. The good news: with no general VAT, the total (~30%) is milder than it sounds.

Is it true the Solomon Islands have no VAT?

Yes: it is one of the few countries without a general VAT. A bill (VAT Bill 2025) would introduce 15%, but it remains in parliament and is not in force.

Why does my parcel to the Solomon Islands route via Brisbane?

Because the postal and courier route to Honiara consolidates in Australia: it is the natural South Pacific hub. No worries: transiting Brisbane adds no Australian customs formalities to your shipment (it travels in international transit); it just explains that stop in your tracking.
