Shopping from US retailers and shipping to

Andorra

?

Here's what you'll pay in import duties,taxes, and handling fees — plus how Stackry helps you keep costs predictable before you checkout.

Overview

Shipments from the US to Andorra typically incur charges when they arrive. You'll pay Andorra's Indirect General Tax (IGI) at 4.5% on packages over €22, and Customs Duties on shipments exceeding €150. Duties vary by product type but commonly range 0-12%. Your carrier will also charge clearance and handling fees, typically €15-20. Total charges depend on your package value and contents.

Your questions answered

Q1.

What is the VAT threshold in Andorra?

Andorra does not use VAT but instead charges IGI (Indirect General Tax) with a threshold of typically €22 for your shipment. This 4.5% tax applies to the total value including shipping when your package arrives from the USA.

Q2.

What is the duty-free allowance in Andorra?

Andorra has two thresholds for your shipment: €22 for IGI (tax) and €150 for customs duties. Shipments from the USA are treated as third-country imports, so these thresholds apply to the total CIF value (item cost + shipping + insurance).

Q3.

Do you have to pay for a package to go through customs?

Yes, you typically pay import charges when your shipment enters Andorra. Your shipment may be subject to IGI (4.5% tax) on values over €22 and Customs Duties on values over €150, plus carrier handling fees.

Q4.

What items are exempt from import duty?

Your shipment to Andorra is exempt from customs duties if the total value stays under €150, as duties typically apply only to shipments exceeding this threshold. While specific item exemptions aren't clearly defined, duty rates for categories like electronics and clothing typically range from 0% to 12% depending on the product's HS code classification.

Q5.

How is the IGI tax calculated on my import?

The 4.5% IGI is applied to the CIF value (cost of item, insurance, and freight) plus any customs duties you owe. The duty is added to the CIF value first, and the IGI rate is then applied to that combined total.

Q6.

Are there any additional fees charged by the carrier?

Yes, carriers like DHL or FedEx often charge clearance and disbursement fees for processing your shipment through customs. These can range from €15 to €20 on top of taxes and duties.

Q7.

Do gift shipments have different tax thresholds in Andorra?

Gifts sent privately may qualify for a higher threshold of around €45, but this is strictly at the customs officer's discretion. Commercial shipments from Stackry generally follow the standard €22 IGI threshold.

Q8.

Why are my import rates different from EU imports?

Because your package originates in the USA via Stackry, it is treated as a third-country import rather than benefiting from Andorra's EU trade agreements. This means standard external tariff rates apply to your goods.

Q9.

Who collects the taxes and duties on my arrival?

The Customs Department of Andorra (Duana d'Andorra) collects all applicable IGI and customs duties upon entry. The carrier usually pays these on your behalf and collects them from you before final delivery.

Q10.

Can I estimate the total cost before my shipment arrives?

You can estimate costs by adding 4.5% IGI and potential duty rates (0-12%) to your item value plus shipping, then adding carrier fees of roughly €15–€20. However, final charges are determined by Andorran customs upon arrival.
