Total due 58,16 kr
Import duty 10,75 kr
VAT 47,41 kr
Duty: (value + shipping) × rate: 215,00 kr × 5% = 10,75 kr
VAT over value + shipping + duty: 225,75 kr × 21% = 47,41 kr

Formula

Duty = (value + shipping) × rate • VAT = (value + shipping + duty) × VAT rate

Import duty is calculated over the value of the goods plus shipping. VAT is then charged on that total, INCLUDING the duty already calculated — VAT is applied on top of the duty, not alongside it.

limitations

  • The duty rate varies greatly by product category (from 0% to well over 10%); look up the correct rate for your product.

commonMistakes
