For Brands, Event Agencies & Exhibition Teams in Iceland
Arches, product replicas, mascots and air dancers for campaigns in Reykjavík. Send the size, artwork and event date, and we review the design, the 230 V blower setup and the shipping route before quoting.
Market planning
Iceland is in the EEA but outside the EU customs union, so goods are declared to Iceland Revenue and Customs. VAT is charged at the standard rate of 24% on imports, together with any duty and other import charges. Express or air freight usually takes 4–15 working days after dispatch and sea routes 20–45 days. DDP options are reviewed by quotation.
The National Day falls on 17 June, the summer event season is short and concentrated, and retail campaigns build through the dark months into Christmas. As a planning estimate from our production and freight ranges, approve artwork about 12 weeks before installation for a complex piece shipped by sea, or about 7 weeks by air.
Wind is the planning constraint: gusts are frequent and the Icelandic Meteorological Office issues yellow, orange and red warnings, so an outdoor installation needs a clear shutdown and take-down plan agreed in advance. For outdoor work we review material, seams, the blower position and a covered power connection for the actual site, and agree a weather shutdown plan with the organiser.
The municipality, the venue and the insurer set the rules for temporary installations in public space. Ask the organiser what they need from the supplier before production. Approval drawings and labels can be prepared in Icelandic or English.
Every design is approved on a scaled drawing and a colour mockup before cutting starts, so an agency in Reykjavík can take it through client sign-off. Revisions happen at the drawing stage, and the production clock starts from final approval.
For a campaign running in Reykjavík, each unit is packed and labelled by destination city. Approved patterns are kept on file, so next year's repeat order does not start pattern work again.

Work back from your installation date. Production takes 3–8, 7–15 or 15–25 days by complexity, plus freight: 4–15 working days by air or 20–45 days by sea. For a complex piece shipped by sea, approve artwork about 12 weeks before installation.
