Ground path: This means that a citizen personally imports goods into the country, for example, by train,car, bicycle. Accordingly, in 2020 it is possible to import goods worth up to 500 euros and weighing nomore than 25 kg without duty.
Online way: And finally, the way in which a citizen orders goods for personal use, delivered from abroadin international mail or by carrier. From January 1, 2020, the duty-free limit for such deliveries will be200 euros or 31 kg per parcel.It should be noted that the weight and cost of each individual parcel will be considered without taking intoaccount the frequency of movement of goods and the principle of calculation will change! -In 2019, the duty is calculated from all goods ordered within a calendar month. Moreover, the fee isconsidered on the date of arrival of the parcel at customs. From 2020, the limit will be calculated for eachparcel separately.
- If in 2019 the limit for parcels from abroad is 500 euros per month, then in 2020 it will be 200 euros perparcel. It will become more profitable to order a lot of goods up to 200 euros.
- In 2019, a fee of 30% is charged for exceeding the limit of 500 euros. Since 2020, the amount ofcustoms duty will decrease to 15%. Thus, large purchases of more than 800 euros will be more profitableto make in 2020.
- In 2019, the duty-free weight limit is 31 kg. If the limit is exceeded, a fee of 30% is charged, but not lessthan € 4 per kg. In 2020, the weight limit remains unchanged at 31 kg.
