Stackry’s guide to the taxes, duties, and fees involved when shipping from the USA to
Eritrea
.
Eritrea has no de minimis threshold, so all imports are subject to taxes and duties regardless of value. When your package arrives in Eritrea, expect to pay customs duty (typically 5% to 50% depending on the item) and sales tax (5% standard rate, 12% for luxury goods). Electronics usually face 10-20% duty, while clothing ranges from 20-30%. Your carrier will also charge clearance and handling fees.
Eritrea calculates customs duties as a percentage of 5% to 50% of your shipment's CIF value (Cost of goods + Insurance + Freight), with no minimum threshold. Sales tax of 5% or 12% is then applied to the CIF value plus the duty amount, and carriers add separate clearance fees on top.
Eritrea has no single tax rate. Your shipment may incur both import Sales Tax (5% standard, 12% for luxury items) and Customs Duty (typically 5% to 50% depending on the item category). There is no de minimis threshold in Eritrea, meaning all shipments are subject to these charges regardless of value.
No, Eritrea has no de minimis threshold, so all shipments entering the country are subject to taxes and duties regardless of value. Your shipment will be assessed charges from the first dollar of declared value.
Yes, carriers like DHL or FedEx typically charge a brokerage or handling fee for processing your package through Eritrean Customs. A disbursement fee may also apply if the carrier pays the government duties on your behalf.
The Eritrean Customs Authority under the Ministry of Finance determines and collects all duties and taxes upon arrival. The carrier will collect these funds from you before releasing your shipment for final delivery.
While not a direct import fee, Eritrean citizens abroad are often required to show proof of paying a 2% Recovery and Rehabilitation tax to obtain authorization for clearing personal imports. This requirement may affect your ability to receive your shipment.
