Customs clearance of shipment in Ukrainе
Parcel cost: over €150
There are no additional taxes■ import duty: 10% of the excess of €150
■ VAT: 20% of the shipment cost (the excess of €150 + import duty)
Calculation example
The item costs €200. Customs payments will be:
- 1import duty = (€200 - €150) x 10% = €5
- 2VAT = (€200 - €150 + €5) x 20% = €11
Total tax payable: €5 + €11 = €16
If the declared value of the shipment is more than €150, do not split it into two parcels to avoid paying customs fees.
At the customs office in Ukraine, such shipments are grouped together and their declared value is summed up, so customs payments will still be charged.
