Mont Fleuri
P.O. Box 632
Victoria, Mahé
Seychelles
The Seychelles do not use postal codes. Addresses indicate the district or neighbourhood (Mont Fleuri, Beau Vallon, Anse Royale on Mahé; Baie Sainte Anne, Grand Anse on Praslin), followed by the main town, which for Mahé is always Victoria. A P.O. Box is essential for reliable delivery, as most mail and parcels are collected at the central post office in Victoria. For tourist resorts, the name of the property and the corresponding bay are specified. Smaller islands such as La Digue or Silhouette require an additional ferry connection from Mahé. Praslin has its own airport, but many shipments still pass through Victoria for customs clearance.

Shipping time to Seychelles
Estimated transit time:
Customs clearance in Victoria is generally efficient (1–2 days) but strict: the Seychelles Revenue Commission carefully inspects shipments to protect the archipelago’s fragile ecosystem.
Possible delays:
Delays may occur during the monsoon season (November–March), when adverse weather conditions can temporarily disrupt flights and inter-island transport. Public holidays such as Independence Day (18 June), Liberation Day (5 June) and Corpus Christi suspend customs operations.
Labour Day (1 May) and the entire Christmas period also significantly slow down public services in a country known for its naturally relaxed pace of life.
Frequently asked questions: island regulations and logistics
Do the Seychelles have strict restrictions on plastic and polluting materials?
Yes, since 2017 the Seychelles have banned single-use plastic bags, expanded polystyrene and many non-biodegradable packaging materials. Customs may reject shipments containing excessive plastic. It is recommended to use cardboard, paper or compostable packaging. Single-use plastic items such as plates, cutlery and straws are also prohibited. For commercially packaged goods, ensure that the packaging complies with strict environmental regulations, as the Seychelles rigorously protect their marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
Can I ship food, wine or agricultural products from Italy?
Industrially packaged food products are allowed with a detailed ingredient declaration in English or French. Wine and alcoholic beverages require an import licence from the recipient and are subject to high duties (50–75% of the declared value). Cheese, cured meats, pasta and other typical Italian products in sealed packaging are generally permitted for personal use in reasonable quantities. Prohibited items include seeds, plants, soil, fresh fruit and vegetables, honey and fresh meat. Commercial food supplies for restaurants require approval from the Seychelles Bureau of Standards.
How are deliveries to Praslin or La Digue handled?
All shipments are cleared through customs in Victoria (Mahé). For Praslin, the local courier arranges onward transport via Air Seychelles (around 15 minutes) or the Cat Cocos ferry (45–60 minutes), adding 1–2 days. La Digue has no airport: transport is via Praslin and then a small ferry (about 15 minutes), resulting in 2–3 additional days. The recipient is notified and often needs to collect the parcel at the local post office. We recommend coordinating in advance and providing a local mobile number for SMS notifications. Resorts and hotels receive direct deliveries on all islands.
