Import VAT calculator

Import VAT is charged on the customs value plus the duty plus the costs up to the first destination in the country of import. Enter the shipment and the country: the calculator shows the base and the import VAT at that country’s standard rate.

How it is calculated

1
Import VAT base = customs value + import duty and other charges due on import + transport and other costs up to the first place of destination in the country of import (VAT Directive, Articles 85 and 86).
2
Import VAT = base × the rate of the country of import. The calculator fills in the standard rate and names its source; enter a reduced rate where the goods carry one.
3
An anti-dumping duty is part of the base too. Where TARIC lists one for the code and origin, the calculator says so but does not add it: its rate depends on the ten-digit code and often on the producer.

Athren does this from the documents

Athren reads the shipment email with the invoice, the packing list and the transport document, proposes a code for every clear invoice line and asks one question where the invoice is not enough. Your declarant checks what is open and files the declaration. Athren files nothing.
