Estimate only. Customs rules change — on 1 July 2026 the EU ended the duty-free allowance for parcels under €150 (replaced until July 2028 by a €3-per-category duty). VAT is calculated on goods + shipping + insurance (+ the duty); duty over €150 depends on the exact product, and parcels over €1,000 need a clearing agent. Always confirm with Cyprus Customs or the carrier before you buy.
How the estimate works
Orders shipped from outside the EU are treated as imports. Cyprus charges 19% VAT on every non-EU parcel regardless of value (since 2021), calculated on the goods plus shipping and insurance, plus customs duty (a flat €3 per product category when the customs value is up to €150, not added to the estimate, and above that a rate that depends on the product), and a €3.50 handling fee from Cyprus Post when charges weren’t collected at checkout (paid via the THALISUPP portal — pay before arrival and the parcel can qualify for home delivery). Orders from inside the EU already include VAT and carry no customs duty.
From 1 November 2026 the estimate also adds the EU handling fee of €2 per product category, with VAT on it, to every order from outside the EU.
Duty rates vary by the exact product, so the category options here are indicative starting points — see the full import charges guide for the detail, and check which stores actually ship to Cyprus before you order.
