Besides import duty and VAT, what are the additional taxes I need to be aware of?

In addition to duties and VAT, certain products may also be subject to excise duty.
These products include:

• Alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wines and spirits
• Tobacco products

Rates of excise duty are set by each individual member state and vary considerably across the EU.

Please note that the Duty Calculator does not provide tax rate information on excise goods.

In addition, a small number of products are subject to anti-dumping duty (e.g. leather footwear and bicycles from China or Vietnam and certain candles from China) and some products that are produced in the US are liable to retaliatory duties. These include metal spectacle frames and diaries.
