Frequently asked questions
What is the customs value?
The value of the goods up to the EU border: the price, plus freight and insurance to the border if they are not already included. Duty is calculated on the customs value. Import VAT is calculated on the customs value plus the duty plus onward transport to the recipient in Sweden.
Why is no total shown for some goods?
Because it depends on something the calculator does not know, such as the weight, the manufacturer or the sugar and milk content. We then show what is missing instead of a figure that could be wrong. We are happy to work it out for you.
Can I reclaim the VAT?
A business registered for VAT in Sweden deducts the import VAT in its VAT return, so it is usually not a cost. Duty cannot be deducted. Private individuals pay both.
