Gibraltar Import Duties & Taxes Explained

No, Gibraltar currently has a 0% VAT rate. However, starting April 10, 2026, a new 15% Transaction Tax will apply to most imported goods instead.

Customs duty applies to your shipment if the total value including shipping exceeds £25. Below this threshold, you generally pay no duty.

For many common consumer goods like electronics and clothing, the duty rate is approximately 12% of the total CIF value (cost plus insurance and shipping).

On April 10, 2026, Gibraltar will replace the current duty regime with a 15% Transaction Tax on most imported goods. Your shipment arriving after this date may be subject to this new tax.

HM Customs Gibraltar collects all import duties and taxes directly upon arrival of your shipment.

Taxes and duties are calculated on the CIF value, which includes the cost of your goods plus insurance and shipping costs to Gibraltar.

Yes, essential items such as books, children's clothing, and certain medical supplies often qualify for 0% duty when imported via Stackry.

You can estimate costs by adding 12% duty on values over £25 plus a £10–£15 carrier fee, but note that the 15% Transaction Tax may apply for shipments arriving after April 10, 2026.

If your package arrives before April 10, 2026, it will be subject to the current duty rates rather than the new 15% Transaction Tax.
