Estimate only. This calculator does not provide customs, legal, or tax advice. Final charges are determined by German customs (Zoll) and the parcel carrier, and German import VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) is one EU example. The EU is reviewing the EUR 150 customs duty de-minimis and may remove it during 2026; always confirm the current rule with the official source before relying on this estimate.
