Calculating EU Customs Duty & 19% Import VAT
European customs authorities assess import duty on the CIF border value (FOB goods + international freight & insurance to EU port), and then levy 19% German import VAT on CIF plus duty.
Always secure an EU EORI number beforehand, verify HS/TARIC codes for anti-dumping surcharges, and model total landed costs in our Landed-Cost Calculator.
