Cyprus Import Duty & VAT Calculator

Estimate the import duty and VAT you'll pay to bring goods into Cyprus from outside the EU. Cyprus calculates import charges on the CIF value — the cost of the goods plus insurance and freight to the point of entry. Import duty is applied to that customs value at the rate set for your product in the EU TARIC tariff, and then 19% VAT is charged on the customs value plus the duty. Enter your figures below for an instant estimate of your total landed cost.

How it works

  1. Enter the value of your goods, plus shipping and insurance, to build the CIF customs value.
  2. Select the product type or enter the HS code so the correct duty rate can be applied.
  3. The calculator returns the estimated import duty, 19% VAT, and total payable.

Note: This is an estimate for planning only. The exact duty depends on the precise HS classification, the country of origin (preferential trade agreements can reduce or remove duty), and whether anti-dumping or excise duties apply. For a firm figure, send us your commercial invoice and we'll confirm.
