Our invoice covers shipping only, and we take no percentage of your goods value.[\/barid_q]\n[barid_q q=\"What is the duty-free threshold in Saudi Arabia?\"]SAR 1,000 on the value including shipping; above it duty is 5% (clothing 10\u201315%). VAT of 15% applies to all parcels from the first riyal, plus a SAR 15 ZATCA fee on parcels up to SAR 1,000.[\/barid_q]\n[barid_q q=\"What changed in EU customs in 2026?\"]The \u20ac150 relief ended on 1 July 2026; parcels up to \u20ac150 now carry a simplified \u20ac3 duty per item until July 2028, and anything above pays the normal tariff. VAT has applied from the first euro all along.[\/barid_q]\n[barid_q q=\"Do you prepare the clearance paperwork?\"]Yes, free of charge: a commercial invoice with the real purchase value, an accurate description of the contents, and the ID or tax numbers your country requires on the label from the start.[\/barid_q]\n[barid_q q=\"Are these figures final?\"]They were read from official sources and carrier sites in September 2026 and change from time to time; check your country page with us and your customs authority before a large order, and tell us if you find a figure that changed so we can update it.[\/barid_q]\n[\/barid_faq]\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n[barid_cta title=\"Know the whole number before you buy\" text=\"Open your free account, calculate shipping in the calculator, and add the tax from your country's table \u2014 the total is in your hands before you order.\" button=\"Get your address now\"]\n<\/div><\/section>\n","_barid_title_en":"Customs and taxes on shipments from the USA","_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3047","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t |
