Hungary import cost calculator

Updated 11 October 2026

Buying from abroad and having it sent to Hungary? The price on the shop page is rarely the price you pay. Enter the figures in forint, exactly as the shop quotes them, and see the real landed cost — customs duty, 27% Hungarian VAT and the clearance fee included.

The EU sets its thresholds in euro, so the arithmetic below runs in euro and each line shows the euro figure underneath. Converted at €1 ≈ 363 Ft (European Central Bank reference rate, 2026-10-16); customs applies the rate fixed for the month, so treat every forint figure here as approximate.

Estimated landed cost—

Estimate only. The thresholds are set in euro, not forint: on 1 July 2026 the EU ended the duty-free allowance on consignments under €150 and replaced it, until 1 July 2028, with a €3 duty per item. VAT is charged on goods + shipping + insurance (+ the duty); above €150 the duty depends on the exact product and the parcel needs a full customs declaration. Forint figures here are converted at the day’s ECB reference rate and are approximate — customs uses the rate fixed for the month. Always confirm with NAV or the carrier before you buy.

How the estimate works

Orders shipped from outside the EU are imports. Hungary charges 27% VAT on every non-EU parcel whatever its value (there has been no minimum since July 2021), calculated on the goods plus shipping and insurance, plus customs duty. Up to €150 — roughly 54 000Ft at today’s rate, and that forint figure is an orientation, not the rule — the duty is a flat €3 per item by tariff classification; above it, the real rate for that product applies and a full declaration is needed. Magyar Posta then charges its own fee for clearing the parcel. Orders from inside the EU already include VAT and carry no customs duty at all.

From 1 November 2026 the estimate also adds the EU handling fee of €2 per item, 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, including Magyar Posta’s fee band by band, and check which stores actually ship to Hungary before you order.
