Frequently asked questions

Are there import charges on orders under €150?

Yes. VAT applies to every order from outside the EU, regardless of its value. Since 1 July 2026, orders under €150 also carry a flat customs duty of €3 per product type. An EU handling fee of €2 per product type applies from 1 November 2026. Your postal service or courier usually adds a clearance fee, unless you paid VAT at checkout.

Will I need to pay on delivery for AliExpress, Temu or Shein?

Usually not. These shops charge VAT at checkout (IOSS) and handle the customs declaration. The seller pays the €3 per product type and includes it in the price. Choose ‘VAT included (AliExpress, Temu)’ to see how much VAT you pay.

What counts as a product type?

Customs use the product’s commodity code. Three identical T-shirts are one type; a T-shirt and a cap are two types. In practice the carrier counts the lines on the customs form (CN22 or CN23).

Is the VAT rate the same in every EU country?

No. You pay the VAT rate of the country you live in, from 17% in Luxembourg to 27% in Hungary, with lower rates for books, food and medicines. Choose your country to use its VAT rates in the calculator.

Is the United Kingdom still part of the EU?

No. On orders from the UK you always pay VAT and usually a clearance fee. Products made in the UK are free of customs duty if the origin is stated on the invoice.

Why is the amount on my payment request different?

Customs use a fixed exchange rate per month, while your bank uses the daily rate and often adds a surcharge. The commodity code used and the carrier’s fees may also differ. The calculation is an estimate.

I received a text message asking me to pay customs fees. Is it real?

Scammers send fake messages asking for ‘customs fees’. Don’t click the link. Check your parcel on your postal service or courier’s official website or app. Customs never send you a payment request directly.
