Notification as a Parcel Service Provider

Under the EU Parcel Regulation on cross-border parcel delivery services, companies offering parcel delivery must report certain information to the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS). This includes public price lists, delivery volumes, turnover, and company information.

Reporting is annual: prices must be submitted by January 31, and volumes, turnover, and company data by June 30. Company information and details about parcel services only need to be reported once, but any changes must be reported within 30 days. The regulation aims to improve price transparency and regulatory oversight of cross-border parcel delivery within the EU.

Reporting requirements

  • Annual reporting by January 31: Public prices for certain letters and parcels.
  • Annual reporting by June 30: Information on the number of employees with parcel delivery services, volumes within/outside the EU and EEA, and turnover.
  • One-time reporting (by June 30): Company information and information about which parcel services are offered. Only needs to be reported once.
  • Changes: If the information changes or is updated, this must be reported to PTS within 30 days.
