Cost and calculation examples

  • USA

    • Customs duty payer: Sender or third party (for business customers)
    • Customs duty cost: 10% of the cost of goods

  • Europe

    • Customs duty payer: Sender or third party (for business customers)
    • Customs duty cost: Cost of goods x VAT of the destination country (excluding preferential categories of goods) + cost of goods x 2% (service fee)

  • Calculation example:

    • Cost of shipment: 5 000 UAH
    • Cost of delivery: 900 UAH

    Payer of customs duties: sender or third party 5 000 x 10% = 500 UAH

  • Calculation example (Germany):

    • Cost of shipment: 5 000 UAH
    • Delivery cost: 650 UAH

    Payer of customs duties: sender or third party 5 000 x 19% (German VAT) + 5 000 x 2% (service fee) = 950 + 100 = 1 050 UAH

 The total guaranteed cost of delivery with customs payments to the US will be 1 400 UAH, and to Germany – 1 700 UAH. The recipient does not need to perform any additional actions or make any additional payments.
