Stackry’s guide to the taxes, duties, and fees involved when shipping from the USA to
Moldova (Republic of)
.
You will pay 20% import VAT and customs duty (0-15%) if your shipment value exceeds €150 (approximately $160). Charges apply to the total cost including shipping. Moldova exempts shipments under €150 for personal use, but frequent shipments may be flagged. Carriers also charge brokerage fees for customs clearance.
Your shipment to Moldova may be subject to 20% import VAT and customs duty ranging from 0% to 15% when the value exceeds €150. These charges are collected by Moldova's Customs Service on shipments over the €150 de minimis threshold, with VAT calculated on the total CIF value including goods, insurance, and freight costs.
Moldova's duty-free allowance is €150 for non-commercial shipments. shipments at or below this €150 threshold are exempt from import VAT and customs duties.
Customs duty generally applies when the intrinsic value of your shipment exceeds €150. Rates typically range from 0% to 15% for common consumer goods like electronics and clothing.
Moldova calculates taxes on the CIF value, which includes the cost of goods, insurance, and freight shipping to Chisinau. Ensure your invoice clearly separates item prices from shipping costs.
Couriers like DHL or FedEx typically charge a brokerage fee for handling customs paperwork and advancing taxes on your behalf. The government's previous 0.4% processing fee was abolished in 2024.
The Customs Service of the Republic of Moldova (Serviciul Vamal) determines and collects all applicable taxes and duties. Your carrier will usually collect these fees from you upon delivery.
Estimate your costs by adding 20% VAT and potential duties (0-15%) to your goods' value plus shipping if it exceeds €150. Use this calculation as a guide, as final charges depend on the specific item classification.
