How we calculate

The calculation runs in your browser with a fixed, tested rules engine. No language model and no live scraping decides the amount. We distinguish between the country of dispatch, the origin, the EU customs territory and the EU VAT area, and we use the date of customs clearance – not the purchase date.

If we can't calculate reliably – e.g. for alcohol, an unknown type of goods or dates without an official customs exchange rate – we show "needs checking" instead of a guessed amount. Over EUR 150 we show VAT and fees, but leave the customs duty open, because it depends on the commodity code – if you choose a category of goods, we show an estimate based on TARIC. Your figures are not sent to us.
