VAT in Estonia
On imports you pay the same VAT rate as in a shop in Estonia: 24% for most products. VAT is charged on the product price, shipping, insurance, customs duty and the EU handling fee together.
- 24% (standard: also food)
- 9% (books, medicines, hygiene products, newspapers)
Clearance fees in Estonia
Your postal service or courier handles the customs declaration and pays the taxes on your behalf. You repay these taxes along with a clearance fee. You usually avoid this fee if you paid VAT at checkout through IOSS.
| Carrier | Fee | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Omniva | About €2.39 for an automatic declaration up to €150 and from €15.25 above; Omniva’s current amounts could not be checked. A gift above €45 costs €20. (indicative) | November 2026 |
| DHL Express | €12 or 2% of duty and VAT, whichever is higher. | November 2026 |
Travelling back to Estonia
Goods you bring from outside the EU are free of duty and VAT up to €430 when you travel by plane or boat, €300 by car or train, and €150 for children under 15. Declare goods above the allowance in the red channel, or to a customs officer where there is none. Not declaring can lead to a fine.
Good to know
- Since 1 July 2026 every parcel from outside the EU has to be declared. You can declare it yourself in e-MTA; Omniva charges a fee when it declares for you.
- Arriving by land, the tobacco and alcohol allowances apply only once a calendar month.
