How are customs and VAT handled on Geniki Taxydromiki international parcels?

Parcels moving within the European Union, including to and from Bulgaria, Romania, and Cyprus, clear without import customs under the single market. For the Greece to North Macedonia corridor, which is a non-EU border, Geniki Taxydromiki handles customs clearance as part of the service. When ordering from non-EU marketplaces, VAT is often prepaid at checkout through the EU IOSS scheme; if it was not, the import VAT is settled before the parcel is released.
