Will I pay customs duty or VAT on a parcel into Slovakia?
Parcels from other EU countries arrive with no customs formalities because Slovakia is in the EU single market. For goods from outside the EU, import VAT applies to commercial items of any value since the under-22-euro exemption ended on 1 July 2021, and customs duty is added on consignments above 150 euros. The post presents the item to customs on your behalf, and you may need to confirm the contents or pay the charges before delivery.
