How do I calculate import tariffs?
Last updated: 2026-08-01·Verified: 2026-08-01
📋 Direct Answer
Import tariff = CIF value × duty rate. VAT = (CIF + duty) × VAT rate. Total tax = duty + VAT. Example: a €1,000 shipment to Germany with 0% duty and 19% VAT = €0 duty + €190 VAT = €190 total tax. The duty rate depends on your HS code and the destination country.
