What you need to know about customs clearance of a parcel in Ukraine

  • Shipping cost: up to €150

    There are no additional custom fees

  • Shipping cost: over €150

    import duty: 10% of the amount over €150

    VAT: 20% of the parcel value (an amount over €150 + import duty)

An example of a calculation

The product costs €200. Customs fees include:

  • 1
    import duty = (€200 - €150) x 10% = €5
  • 2
    VAT = (€200 - €150 + €5) x 20% = €11

Total tax payable: €5 + €11 = €16

If the estimated value of the parcel is more than €150, do not split it into several parcels to avoid paying customs fees. Such parcels are grouped into one at customs in Ukraine and the estimated value of all the parcels is summed up, which results in customs fees being charged anyway
