Belgium customs duty & VAT calculator

DutyVAT is a free customs duty calculator for shoppers ordering from outside the EU. Enter your item value, HS code, and destination country and we estimate the duty, VAT, and handling fees you'll pay before the parcel arrives.

The EU €150 customs-duty exemption was abolished on 2026-07-01. The current temporary measure is EUR 3 per tariff-classified goods-item line for low-value distance sales up to EUR 150 and is scheduled to apply until 2028-07-01. Goods of the same kind may share a line only when commodity code and country of origin match. Preferential-trade or customs-union cases can be excluded in specific declaration routes. The current calculator does not add this temporary duty because it does not collect declaration route, preference, tariff grouping, or origin.

We use official TARIC and national tax authority data, refreshed regularly. Every numeric value on the site is backed by a source URL and a last-verified date. Use the calculator as a guide; the customs authority, carrier, or declarant determines the final amount.

Qualifying occasional gifts sent between private individuals can receive relief up to €45, subject to the EU conditions. Commercial samples follow separate relief rules and are not treated as gifts. DutyVAT models ordinary consumer purchases, so verify gifts and samples with the destination customs authority.

A refund may be available when imported goods are returned, but eligibility, deadlines, and procedures depend on the customs route and country. Check your national customs authority for the applicable process.
