Customs duties for shipping to Ukraine
If you buy goods worth more than 150 €, you must pay customs duties and VAT. Value-added tax (VAT) and customs duties are calculated by the State Customs Service of Ukraine on the day the shipment enters the country in hryvnias at the NBU rate according to the following formula: (Value of goods - 150 € + customs duties (Value of goods - 150 €) * 10%) * 20%.
Customs limit - 150 € Customs duties = 10% on amount over 150 € VAT = 20% on amount over 150 € + customs duties
Example:
You buy a product for 200 €
Duty: (200-150) * 10% = 5.00 €
VAT: (200-150+5)*20% = 11 €
Total 16 € tax.
Note! Dividing a larger order into smaller ones to avoid exceeding the €150 threshold is ineffective, and we advise against such action. You have 7 days to pay customs duties and VAT, after which the shipment is returned to the sender. Keep all purchase documents.
