VAT in Slovenia
On imports you pay the same VAT rate as in a shop in Slovenia: 22% for most products. VAT is charged on the product price, shipping, insurance, customs duty and the EU handling fee together.
- 22% (standard)
- 9.5% (food, medicines)
- 5% (books, newspapers)
Clearance fees in Slovenia
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. When the shop already charged VAT at checkout (IOSS), Pošta Slovenije still charges €9.00.
| Carrier | Fee | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Pošta Slovenije | Paid on delivery: €9 up to €150 (also for IOSS parcels), €30.50 above, €5.50 for a gift up to €45. Paying online is €2.50 cheaper. | November 2026 |
| DHL Express | €12 plus 2% of duty and VAT, plus 22% VAT: €14.64 plus 2.44%. | November 2026 |
Travelling back to Slovenia
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 to customs when you arrive. You can do this orally; customs may ask for a written declaration.
Good to know
- Pošta Slovenije says the €3 duty is not part of IOSS. Even when the shop charged VAT at checkout, you may have to pay the €3 per product type on delivery.
