Printable Version Duty Deminimis on Imports to EU countries


 
As of December 1, 2008 the duty deminimis on imports to EU countries with negligible value changes from 300 SEK to 1627 SEK. This means that below 1627 SEK no duty is due. VAT however will still be collected on due values over 300 SEK. 

Exceptions: 
Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Slovakia plan on bringing the VAT deminimis in line with the duty deminimis (so that both would be at 1627 SEK) but this is pending EU approval.
