Stackry’s guide to the taxes, duties, and fees involved when shipping from the USA to
Venezuela
.
Venezuela has no de minimis threshold, so most shipments are subject to taxes and duties from the first dollar. Expect to pay 16% VAT on the total value including shipping, import duties typically ranging 5-20%, a 1% customs service fee, plus carrier brokerage fees often starting at $50-150. Total charges commonly range 25-40% of your shipment's CIF value.
Import duty on your shipment to Venezuela typically ranges from 5% to 20% of your total CIF value, though luxury items can reach 35%. There is no de minimis threshold, so you should expect to pay both duty and 16% VAT on almost all imports regardless of value.
No, there is effectively no de minimis threshold for individual imports into Venezuela. Almost all shipments arriving via Stackry are subject to taxes and duties from the first dollar of value.
VAT is charged at 16% on the sum of your CIF value (product price plus shipping and insurance) plus any applicable customs duties.
Yes, major carriers like DHL and FedEx charge handling and brokerage fees that can range from $50 to $150 USD for formal entry. These fees are separate from the government taxes and are paid directly to the carrier.
Duties are calculated on the full CIF value, which includes your product price plus the cost of shipping and insurance to Venezuela. This means your Stackry forwarding fees are included in the taxable base.
The national tax authority SENIAT determines the charges, but they are typically collected by your carrier (DHL, FedEx, or UPS) before final delivery. You will need to pay these amounts to receive your shipment.
