Value added tax will be paid for all consignments amounting to up to EUR 150, explained Vyara Genova from the National Customs Agency. A 20% VAT and an excise duty will be paid for consignments which cost more than EUR 150. The new regime is in place across the entire European Union and VAT will be collected by the online store during the purchase.
