Three steps,
one receipt.
DutyVAT turns item value, shipping, HS classification, and destination into an estimated landed-cost receipt: customs duty, import VAT, and the statutory charge modeled for that country. No login or document upload required.
Choose the closest HS category.
Choose the product description that best matches what you bought. DutyVAT uses the selected HS code and its stored duty rate; it does not make a binding customs classification. If your goods do not fit an available category, confirm the code in TARIC or with the carrier or customs authority before relying on the estimate.
Pick the country.
Ten destinations are available: nine EU countries plus a United States reference page. Each destination uses its configured currency, tax rate, statutory-charge data, and cited sources.
Calculate the receipt.
DutyVAT currently adds item value and shipping, applies the selected HS duty rate, calculates EU import VAT on the declared value plus duty, and adds the statutory charge modeled for the destination. The receipt appears after you press Calculate. Carrier clearance, brokerage, presentation, or advancement fees may apply separately.
Current calculator estimate, not the EUR 3 temporary flat-duty policy example.
For the
curious.
The calculator follows the same order used across country pages: classification, duty, VAT base, and country-specific statutory charges.

What changed on 1 July 2026?
The EU EUR 150 customs-duty exemption has ended. The temporary measure is EUR 3 per tariff-classified goods-item line for low-value distance sales up to EUR 150. Official guidance applies it across IOSS, Special Arrangements, and standard VAT routes, with specific exclusions for some preferential-trade or customs-union declarations. The current calculator does not add the temporary duty because it does not collect declaration route, preference, tariff grouping, or origin.
VAT baseHow is import VAT calculated?
+
How is import VAT calculated?
Import VAT starts from the customs value and includes customs duty plus certain taxes and incidental expenses, such as transport and insurance to the first destination, where applicable. DutyVAT's simplified receipt uses declared item value plus shipping and calculated duty. The relevant VAT basis is set out in Articles 85 and 86 of Directive 2006/112/EC.
FeesHow are national and carrier fees handled?
+
How are national and carrier fees handled?
DutyVAT adds only the statutory charge stored for the destination and effective date. Romania models a RON 25 statutory logistics levy, and Italy's EUR 2 statutory contribution has applied since 1 July 2026. France's EUR 2 small-parcel tax is suspended and is not added. Postal operators and couriers may also charge separate clearance, presentation, brokerage, or advancement fees.
IOSSWhat if the seller uses IOSS?

What if the seller uses IOSS?
IOSS lets a seller or marketplace collect VAT at checkout for eligible non-excise consignments not exceeding EUR 150. When the IOSS number is correctly declared, import VAT should not be collected again at the border. IOSS does not erase customs duty or carrier clearance charges; under the 2026 guidance, the temporary EUR 3 duty applies to low-value distance sales across IOSS, Special Arrangements, and standard VAT routes unless a specific exclusion applies.

Where does the data come from?
EU reform dates and temporary-duty scope come from European Commission and Council customs materials. VAT rules come from Directive 2006/112/EC; classifications and tariff rates come from TARIC; country charges come from official national legislation and customs or tax authorities. Each country page lists its source links and verification date.
