Postal item customs clearance in Ukraine
- The invoiced value of the parcel: up to €150
No taxes are charged
- The invoiced value of the parcel: over €150
- Import duty: 10% of excess over €150
- VAT: 20% of the invoiced value of the shipment (excess over €150 + import duty

Calculation example
The goods cost €200. The total customs payments will be:
- import duty = (€200 - €150) × 10 % = €5
- VAT = (€200 - €150 + €5) × 20% = €11
Total tax charged: €5 + €11 = €16
