Import Tax Allowance

Personal Import Tax Allowance is the value of goods that you are allowed to import into your own country by mail, below which you are exempt from paying local taxes (VAT, TVA, GST etc.) to your government. This is also known as Low Value Consignment Relief or Personal tax-free import allowance.

Referring to the table below, have a look at your country's allowance and the value of goods you wish to import into your country. If this value is below that shown in the table you will not have to pay tax on this.

Important: Please note that EU Shopper is not liable for the accuracy of this information, nor for the payment of your local taxes and you should check this information with your government.
