Import tax in Austria

Taxes and import duties for shipping goods to Austria.

Overview of shipping to Austria.



When shipping goods to Austria from outside the European Union, the recipient is required to pay import duties, whether the goods are for personal or commercial use. Import duties are calculated based on the CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight) price, which is the full value of the imported goods plus insurance and freight costs.

Austrian customs duties and taxes.

Austria levies customs duties ranging from 0% (e.g., books) to 17% (e.g., Wellington Boots). Some items can be shipped to Austria duty-free, such as laptop computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, and video games.

Certain types of goods shipped to Austria are subject to additional duties, depending on the country of origin. For example, bicycles imported from China are subject to an additional duty of 48.5% (anti-dumping).
 


Value Added Tax (VAT) rates in Austria.

Shipping to Austria is subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) of 20%, with specific items such as books having a lower VAT rate of 10%. This is calculated based on the value of the goods plus international shipping and insurance costs, and any applicable duties.
 


Minimum taxes and duties in Austria.

Austria has a minimum duty levy, but duties and value-added tax are waived in the following cases:

Austria calculates import duties on an FOB (Free On Board) basis (meaning the value of the goods only, excluding shipping and insurance costs). If the value of an item shipped to Austria is less than EUR150, no import duty will be charged.

For shipments to Austria with a value not exceeding EUR22, no Value Added Tax (VAT) will be charged.

 Duties and value-added tax with a combined amount not exceeding EUR10 will be exempt.
 


Other taxes and customs fees in Austria.

Shipments to Austria will be subject to excise duty on tobacco and alcohol samples.
Customs fees may be levied in addition to cover necessary costs for inspecting, verifying, and/or testing imported goods.

Import taxes in South Africa.

 

Taxes and import duties for shipping goods to South Africa.


Overview of shipping goods to South Africa.

When shipping goods to South Africa, the recipient is required to pay import duties, whether the goods are for personal or commercial use. Import duties are calculated on the Free On Board (FOB) price, meaning the duty is based solely on the full price of the imported goods (excluding transportation costs up to the ship). However, some duties are calculated based on the value and quantity of the goods. In addition to duties, shipments to South Africa are also subject to Value Added Tax (VAT)., 

Luxury goods or non-essential items (such as perfume) may be subject to additional Ad Valorem Duties (duties based on a percentage of the import value) and Anti-dumping Duties (duties) for certain items that are to be disposed of or are considered waste or discarded.


South African tax rates.

Duty rates in South Africa vary from 0% to 45%, with an average rate of 18.74%. Some shipments to South Africa are duty-free, such as laptop computers, electric guitars, and other electronic products.



Sales tax in South Africa

Shipments to South Africa will be subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) at a rate of 14% of the total FOB value, plus any duties and excise taxes (if applicable), and an additional 10% of the FOB price.



Minimum taxes and duties in South Africa.

South Africa calculates minimum customs duties based on the FOB price (meaning the value of the goods only). This means that shipments to South Africa with a value of ZAR500 or less are exempt from customs duties, but Value Added Tax (VAT) still needs to be paid.


Other taxes and customs fees in South Africa.

When shipping goods to South Africa, if the goods are considered waste or disposal items, import duties will be levied as a tax offset. For these imported goods, which South Africa deems waste and unusable, an investigation will be conducted into the pricing and export motivations of the country of origin. The tax rate will be determined based on the results of the investigation. These duties are levied on an ad valorem basis, calculated based on the value of the goods (e.g., as a percentage of the value) or on a case-specific duty basis (e.g., per unit price).
