What is First Class Mail International?
First Class Mail International is a service for everyone who wants to send business letters weighing up to 2 kg to addresses around the world. First Class Mail is easy to frank using our Port Payé block labels or a franking machine. Franked mail can then be dropped off at one of our service points or mail terminals. First Class Mail franked using a franking machine can also be mailed in any mailbox.
To utilize this service, you need to be one of our service agreement customers.
Delivery inside and outside the EU
First Class Mail International sent within the EU is normally delivered within 2–6 business days. Delivery times to other countries vary.
When sending goods within the EU, you must always attach a security declaration. When sending goods to destinations outside the EU, you must always affix a shipment ID and a unique bar code to the package. You can easily prepare address labels and customs documentation using our cost-free Skicka Direkt Business tool.

Air transport directive
As from April 29, 2010, all shipments transported by air must be X-rayed in order to fulfil the air safety regulations pursuant to the applicable EU directive. In the event that the X-ray is unable to establish what the shipment contains, it will be transported by other means – road or rail, for example – instead. If this is not possible either, the shipment will be returned to you.
