Customs fees, duties and taxes when shipping from USA shops to Europe (EU)


European Union (EU) limits apply to merchandise plus shipping.

Both VAT and Import Duties depend on merchandise type and destination european country.
Average VAT in Europe is 20%. It is smaller on books or food etc.
Customs fees in Europe very and have to be verified in the national customs office.

CUSTOMS FEES and VAT in EUROPEAN UNION (EU)

MERCHANDISE+SHIPPING TOTAL:
  • < 22 EUR
    NO CUSTOMS FEES AND NO VAT
  • 22 to 150 EUR
    ONLY VAT APPLIED
  • > 150 EUR
    BOTH VAT AND CUSTOM FEES APPLIED

If the merchandise plus shipping total is under 22 EUR, you do NOT need to pay any customs fee or VAT. But make sure that you take into account not only the amount you spend on your purchases, but also shipping costs.

If merchandise is between 22 and 150 EUR, you only have to pay VAT. The 150 EUR limit is calculated on merchandise value without any shipping fee. VAT however is paid instead on the total of merchandise plus shipping!

If merchandise is more expensive than 150 EUR, then you need to pay both customs fees and VAT. Both VAT and customs fee are applied to the merchandise plus shipping.

That should be the same throughout European Union.
