Import Duty Calculator EU
Duty and import tax for EU.
Duty rates and thresholds change with trade policy. These are planning estimates — the entry filed with customs decides the actual charge.
Total charges at the border
€1,514.22
30.3% of the goods value
Duty on CIF value, VAT on the duty-inclusive total. The €150 threshold relieves duty only — VAT has applied from the first euro since the 2021 reform, collected through IOSS where the seller is registered.
How the Import Duty Calculator EU works
The EU applies the Common Customs Tariff uniformly across member states, but VAT rates differ by country — from 17% to 27%. Duty is assessed on CIF value and VAT on the duty-inclusive total, so the member state of import changes the total charge materially.
Not financial advice. Marketplace fees change, and they vary by country, plan and seller status. Every rate here is an editable default, not a quoted price — check the platform's current fee schedule before you price a product against it. This is not tax or business advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is duty the same across the EU?
Yes. The Common Customs Tariff applies uniformly, so the duty rate for a given commodity code does not depend on which member state you import through. VAT rates do differ, which is why the total charge varies.
What is the €150 threshold?
Below €150 in intrinsic goods value, customs duty is relieved. VAT is not — the low-value consignment VAT relief was abolished in July 2021, so VAT applies from the first euro, collected through IOSS where the seller is registered.
What is IOSS?
The Import One-Stop Shop, letting non-EU sellers collect EU VAT at checkout on consignments up to €150 and remit it through a single registration. Buyers then receive goods with nothing to pay, which converts far better than a doorstep bill.
Can I clear goods in one country and sell in another?
Yes — once in free circulation, goods move freely within the single market. Many importers clear through a low-VAT-rate member state, though VAT on the eventual sale still follows the destination rules.
