Will I have to pay customs duty on a parcel into the Maldives?
It depends on the goods. An import duty concession can be granted for goods imported for personal use valued below MVR 10,000 on an FOB basis, provided the parcel is consigned in the name of the individual importing it. Maldives Post can act as a broker to complete the customs declaration, and it notifies you when an item is held under Customs control.
