Formulas for calculating customs duties

For goods with a total invoice value greater than 150 EUR but not more than 10,000 EUR (duty is 10% of the amount exceeding 150 EUR; VAT is 20% of the amount exceeding 150 EUR and previously charged duty).

If you plan to buy, for example, an iPhone which costs $600. Then you need to use the formula:

Purchase cost: 600 $ (530 EUR)

Duty: (530 EUR — 150 EUR) * 10% = 38 EUR VAT: (530 EUR — 150 EUR + 38 EUR) * 20% = 83.6 EUR

Total customs payment: 38 EUR + 83.6 EUR = 121.6 EUR

Payment of customs duties is made in hryvnias at the NBU rate on the date of filing the customs declaration;

all goods up to tes 150 EUR are tax-free.
