Excise
Excise is an indirect tax on certain categories of goods (alcohol, tobacco products, fuel, some cars). When importing excisable goods, the excise is paid at customs together with the duty and VAT.
Excise rates are set by the Tax Code and depend on the type of goods and its characteristics. Excisable goods often require additional labeling with excise stamps.
We calculate the excise and the full set of payments for excisable goods.
