Customs fee
A customs fee is a charge for performing customs operations, primarily for the customs clearance of the declaration. The amount depends on the customs value of the consignment and is set at fixed rates.
Customs fees for customs operations are paid together with the duty and VAT when the declaration is filed. This is a separate payment and should not be confused with the duty.
We include the fees in the final calculation of the clearance cost.
