Olive oil shipping from Greece to the USA, the UK and Europe
Tins, bottles and bag-in-box olive oil from all over Greece to every continent, with Spourgitis since 1943. We collect from your home, do the packing ourselves, and your oil reaches your loved ones intact.
What the shipment contains
We take care of all the packing ourselves. Prices apply only to olive oil in metal tins, not in plastic or glass containers.
The olive oil service is for 5 litres and above. For less, choose the “Parcel” tab.
Household goods and removals
Furniture, electrical appliances, boxes. The quote depends on the volume and the floor, so we prepare it separately — usually the same or the next working day.
Indicative, based on what you told us. The final amount is set once we see the weight and dimensions.

Spourgitis ships olive oil from Greece all over the world: by road within Europe, by air to the USA, Canada, Australia and more than 100 countries worldwide, and by sea only to the USA, Canada, Australia and Cyprus, for large private shipments. Of our 155,000 transports every year, about 35,000 are private olive oil shipments. We collect the tin from your home, pack it in a double cardboard box or, for abroad, in packaging suitable for international transport, and deliver it to the recipient. Within the European Union there is no customs. For other countries, we handle the export clearance of private road and air shipments ourselves. For sea shipments and commercial shipments, customs clearance is handled outside our service.

Packaging: tin, bottle or bag-in-box
The oil travels the way you have it.

Within Greece the oil travels in our own special packaging.
- Metal tin3, 5, 10 or 17 litres — the sturdiest option, and it also protects from light
- Plastic food containerwith a tightly closed lid, for medium quantities
- Bag-in-boxit does not break, and the box holds it steady
- Glass bottleswrapped one by one in protective air-bag material, they reach their destination intact — ideal for small quantities and gifts
Can I send olive oil by courier?
Yes: for one or two tins or a few bottles, the oil travels as a courier parcel, with the express or the economy service. We collect it from your home and deliver it to the recipient’s door. For abroad we pack it in packaging suitable for international transport; within Greece, in our special packaging. A private shipment within Greece needs no documents at all. You see the cost for your own parcel in the cost calculator.

In Australia every parcel goes through a biosecurity check. Olive oil in a sealed container is allowed.
Can I take olive oil from Greece on the plane?
In hand luggage the airport liquids limit applies, so a tin will not get through. In checked luggage olive oil is allowed, within the airline’s weight limit — and the risk of a leak over your clothes is yours.
If you are sending more than one tin, or would rather not carry it, we send it by air, packed, all the way to your door.
Can you transport olive oil within Greece?
Yes: we run daily routes from Messinia to Athens and back. For the rest of Greece, transport takes 3–5 working days, depending on the delivery city, through our partners. For the islands, the time depends on the ferry schedule and we tell you with the quote. The oil travels in our own special packaging, and a private shipment within Greece needs no documents at all.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to ship olive oil abroad?
It depends on the quantity, the country, the transport method and the packaging. The price we give you includes collection, packing and delivery, and you know it before you send. Ask for a quote or call +30 210 34 24 808.
Can I send a tin of olive oil to Germany?
Yes. The metal tin is the most common way to send oil to Germany. It travels by road, with delivery to the recipient’s door, and because Germany is in the European Union there is no customs.
Can I send olive oil from Greece to the UK after Brexit?
Yes. The United Kingdom is now outside the European Union, so the shipment goes through customs. A private shipment of up to 50 litres travels with no customs clearance cost. We prepare the export documents ourselves. For more than 50 litres the shipment goes ahead as normal, with a customs clearance cost for the recipient.
Can I ship olive oil from Greece to the USA?
Yes, the USA is one of our most frequent destinations. With the air service the oil is delivered to the recipient’s home, and private air shipments travel with no customs clearance cost. By sea there is always a customs clearance cost. For a private shipment we only need the sender’s and the recipient’s details. We prepare the documents for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ourselves.
Do you send olive oil to Australia and Canada?
Yes, by air, or by sea for large private shipments. In Australia the parcel goes through a biosecurity check. Olive oil in a sealed container is allowed. For Canada: by sea up to 80 litres per shipment for Toronto and up to 120 litres for Montreal. By air there is no quantity limit. For a larger quantity by sea, ask us for a quote. We handle the documents and the arrangements with our customs partners.
Is there a limit on how much olive oil I can send?
There is no general limit: we send anything from one tin to pallets. Small quantities for personal use or as a gift, with no commercial transaction (for example between relatives), are sent without extra documents. Large quantities for sale are a commercial export and need the corresponding paperwork — we guide you through it.
Do I need documents to send olive oil?
For a private shipment, no: we only need the sender’s and the recipient’s details and what the parcel contains. For a commercial shipment you need an invoice or delivery note, and in some countries a certificate of origin or a quality analysis.
Can I take olive oil with me on the plane?
In hand luggage the airport liquids limit applies, so a tin will not get through. In checked luggage it is allowed, within the airline’s weight limit. For more oil, or without the risk of a leak in your luggage, we send it by air for you.
Do you transport olive oil within Greece too?
Yes. We run daily routes from Messinia to Athens and back. For the rest of Greece, transport takes 3–5 working days, depending on the delivery city, through our partners. A private shipment needs no documents at all, and the oil travels in our own special packaging.
How many days does an olive oil shipment take?
It depends on the country and the method: air is the fastest, road is the most common for Europe, and sea, only for private shipments to the USA, Canada, Australia and Cyprus, takes longer. We give you the delivery date together with the quote.
Do you handle commercial olive oil exports?
Yes, for producers and businesses, from one pallet upwards, together with the paperwork and customs clearance. See also international transport.
Can I send olive oil by post or courier?
Yes. For small quantities, such as one tin or a few bottles, the oil travels as a courier parcel: we collect it from your home, pack it properly and deliver it to the recipient’s door, in Greece and abroad.
