Rules as of 2026-06, last checked (version 2026.06.25-v1). Note: 2026 de-minimis rules are changing — always confirm the current rule with the official source before relying on this estimate.
EU import VAT on all goods; customs duty above EUR 150. Concretely, customs duty is generally not charged on consignments at or below EUR 150, but Import VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) can apply from the first unit of value. This estimate does not model gifts, excise goods, business imports, or customs reliefs.
Category rates are deliberately broad and flagged for review. Each should be narrowed with representative commodity or tariff codes and an official source before relying on it for a real shipment.

No. It uses simplified category buckets, so final charges depend on the exact commodity or tariff code, origin, reliefs, and the carrier's clearance process.
Estimate only. This calculator does not provide customs, legal, or tax advice. Final charges are determined by German customs (Zoll) and the parcel carrier, and German import VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) is one EU example. The EU is reviewing the EUR 150 customs duty de-minimis and may remove it during 2026; always confirm the current rule with the official source before relying on this estimate.
