Will I pay customs duty or VAT on a parcel into Moldova?

At present, personal, non-commercial parcels with a value up to 150 euros generally clear without import charges and are presented to customs by the postal operator. Moldova's authorities have signalled changes from 1 October 2026, when a 20% VAT, customs duties of roughly 5% to 10%, and a packaging fee are expected to apply to parcels from foreign online platforms. Keep your invoice and payment confirmation in case the declared value is questioned, and treat the current allowance as subject to change.
