Import VAT and de minimis in the European Union

The European Union charges VAT on imports at a standard rate of 21%.

From 1 July 2026 until 1 July 2028, consignments sold to buyers in the European Union worth up to €150 pay a flat customs duty of €3 per tariff classification in the consignment instead of the tariff rate. Import tax is charged whatever the value.

In other countries

National tariff lines under 3920.62 are live on border.bot for the United States (3 lines, also used by 1 other country).
