Europe: You Can Now Pay Import Taxes in Advance

Starting November 9, if you ship a package worth up to €150 to Europe using the Japan Post (Economy) or EMS option, the taxes are paid along with the shipping. That way, you don’t pay anything upon receipt.

Required for: France, Monaco, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and Réunion.

Optional (you can choose to pay now or upon delivery): Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Estonia, Slovakia, and Malta.

You'll see the exact amount before you pay. Lockers, orders over €150, and shipments via DHL or UPS are paid upon delivery. You can calculate the amount using our tax calculator.
