PostNL Packet

PostNL Packet is designed for lightweight international parcels weighing up to 4.4 lb. Both tracked and non-tracked options are available. IOSS and EORI numbers are supported for shipments to the European Union, simplifying customs clearance. Undeliverable PostNL Packet shipments cannot be returned to sender — they are handled by the destination postal service and may not be recoverable. Make sure your recipient's address is accurate before shipping.

PostNL Parcel

PostNL Parcel handles heavier international shipments up to 44 lb with full tracking throughout transit. IOSS and EORI support is included for EU-bound packages.

APC Logistics

APC Logistics provides international delivery with consolidated tracking. Weight limits vary by destination. APC is a good option when shipping to destinations not well served by PostNL.

Prohibited Items for International Shipments

The following items cannot be shipped internationally through Stallion:

  • Perfume and cologne
  • Lithium batteries (standalone or in devices)
  • Aerosols and compressed gases
  • Flammable liquids or solids
  • Toxic substances
  • Weapons, firearms, and ammunition
  • Live animals
  • Liquids over 100 ml

Which Carrier for Which Destination

For most European destinations, PostNL is the preferred choice due to its strong network and IOSS support. For destinations outside of Europe or where PostNL coverage is limited, APC Logistics offers broader international reach. Check the available services for your destination country when creating a shipment.

Tracking

International shipment tracking is done directly through the APC or PostNL tracking portals. You can find tracking links on your shipment detail page in the Stallion dashboard.

Good to know: Stallion does not ship third-party postage for international shipments. All international labels must be created through the platform.

Good to know: Additional international carriers such as Landmark Global may appear in your rates depending on your account and destination. Contact Stallion support for details.
