- We normally ship by Ukrposhta, unless stated otherwise.
- Customs charges depend on the country, order value, product tariff codes and local import rules.
- Orders that contain several different product categories may sometimes have higher customs processing fees.
- The final decision is always made by the local customs authority.
European Union (EU)
From 1 July 2026, the previous low-value customs duty relief for many imported orders up to €150 was removed.
This means:
- import VAT may apply from the first euro;
- orders up to €150 may also be subject to a temporary €3 customs fee in some cases;
- orders above €150 may be subject to normal customs duty according to the product code and origin;
- postal or customs handling fees may also apply.
The exact amount depends on the destination country, the total order value, and the tariff codes in the parcel.
