Stackry’s guide to the taxes, duties, and fees involved when shipping from the USA to
Tunisia
.
Tunisia charges taxes and duties on packages. For shipments under 200 TND (~$63 USD), you'll pay a 10% flat tax. For larger shipments, expect 19% VAT, customs duties (0-50% depending on item category), and a 3% customs formality fee. Electronics typically face 0-20% duty, while clothing and shoes often see 50% duty rates.
There is no duty-free threshold for Tunisia. Your shipment under 200 TND qualifies for a simplified 10% flat tax instead of standard duties and VAT. Shipments exceeding 200 TND will incur category-specific customs duties plus 19% VAT and a 3% formality fee.
