How are import costs calculated?
FAQResidential
The costs to import goods from outside the EU consist of 3 parts:
, VAT
, For all goods coming from outside the EU, a percentage of VAT on the value of the goods must be paid. This percentage varies between 6% (books) and 21% (electronic products). Please note that the VAT due for importing goods is calculated not only on the price you paid to the seller but also on certain additional costs such as shipping costs and the administrative fee charged by bpost for completing customs formalities.
,
,
, Custom duties
, For certain categories of goods you have to pay customs duties. These are also represented by a percentage. For some goods (e.g. jeans), you pay up to 12% duty. For other goods you do not pay duty (e.g. books).
, Customs formalities or administrative fees
, The bpost customs clearance service charges administrative fees for the costs incurred during the import procedure if: the VAT was not paid in advance in a registered online shop (Import One-Stop Shop or IOSS) the value of the goods is more than €150 These costs include: the calculation of import taxes transferring the taxes to the government requesting additional missing information (e.g. licenses or invoices) storage costs From 1st January 2025, bpost will charge the following fees for customs formalities: 0 euro for private shipments with a value of up to €45. In this case, the sender has to prove that the shipment is a gift. (Please note: alcoholic products, perfume, toilet water, tobacco and tobacco products are subject to fees, even if they are gifts). 19.5 euros for customs formalities regarding non-exempted items with a maximum value of 150 euros. 40 euros for customs formalities regarding non-exempted items with a value over 150 euros.
, A numerical example
, Purchase of a T-shirt on a website in the United States of America Value incl. shipping costs: 40 euros Cost of customs formalities: 19.5 euros Import duties: 0 euros (because < 150 euros) Applicable VAT rate: 21% Measure of charge for VAT: 40 euros + 19.5 euros = 59.5 euros VAT amount due: 59.5 * 21% = 12.50 euros Payable to bpost: 32 euros (VAT: 12.50 euros + customs formalities: 19.5 euros)
, Total cost of your purchase: 40 euros (T-shirt) + 19.5 euros (customs formalities) + 12.50 euros (VAT) = 72 euros
