Bringing in more than allowed
Publication date 02-09-2025 | Last update 10-11-2025 |
Are you bringing in more than allowed? Choose the 'Goods to declare' exit at Customs. There, we calculate the amount of import duties, VAT or excise duty that you need to pay. You have to settle the amount with us at that time. Are you travelling by private aircraft or ship? Check which customs office you need for your declarations.
You don't have to pay taxes if you stay within the allowed amount. Find out how much you are allowed to bring in duty free.
What cannot be imported?
Not all products can simply be brought in. For example, restrictions apply to counterfeit articles, carrying €10,000 or more, food, animals and plants.
