Documents Needed
After you have paid for a shipping service to Cyprus, you will be redirected
to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e
AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.
The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Cyprus is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

At RapidParcel.com we place the needs of our customers at the centre of everything we do. If you want to organise a delivery to Larnaca, then you'll quickly find out that our whole business is founded upon the principle of providing satisfaction and convenience through every part of the process. A lot of businesses provide just one service that customers can choose to take or leave, changing their needs and the details of their Larnaca package delivery to fit with the service being offered, rather than the other way round. At RapidParcel.com we know full well that it should be vice versa, and that's why we offer a multitude of options for anyone organising a Larnaca parcel delivery, meaning that customers can tailor their shipping to Larnaca to precisely suit their needs.
The Cypriot city of Larnaca is a combination of many things - it is the second largest commercial port on the island, a vital tourist resort and the location of the biggest international airport in Cyprus. Three quarters of the inhabitants of the city work in the service sector, mostly dealing with the many tourists who flock to the city every year. Amongst the attractions drawing visitors to Larnaca are the famous Pieridis Museum of Antiquities and the ruins of Ancient Kitium, historical remains that date from the thirteenth century BC. Aside from beautiful buildings and a palm tree-lined seafront, visitors also travel to Larnaca to enjoy 'Kataklysmos', or the Festival of the Flood, which is celebrated in early summer and has grown to become a three week-long food, music and dancing extravaganza.
The affordable way to send your deliveries to Larnaca
So there are clearly numerous reasons, of either a business or personal nature, that may be your reason for needing to organise Larnaca shipping and, if you do, RapidParcel.com is the first place to start looking. The initial choice we give you is over which courier to use. We don't present you with a confusingly large number of firms to deal with your package delivery to Larnaca; instead we concentrate on bringing you the finest in the business. Our couriers are the best people to deal with shipping across Europe, such as a parcel delivery to Limassol or a package delivery to Nicosia, but you won't be asked to pay a premium price for this premium service. Our size and reputation in the shipping industry mean that we can negotiate the best deals possible, so a Larnaca delivery is available to our customers at a price that genuinely won't be bettered anywhere else.
The choices don't end there - if you're dealing with a more relaxed timetable or stricter budget you can choose to send your parcel delivery to Larnaca via our Economy Delivery service and, if you're not totally certain about which option to choose, our booking and parcel drop-off points are staffed by experts who can take you through the whole process, pointing you towards the precise features your Larnaca parcel delivery calls for. Once you've tailored your delivery to Larnaca exactly to your needs, just one final choice remains - which of the many payment options you should use.
