Countries with special de minimis rules
If a country has the warning symbol next to it but does not appear in the list below, the coutry's specific de minimis rules are outlined in the country guide, whch is linked to the country's name.
Colombia: Although Colombia's tax de minimis is 0, the tax de
minimis for personal shipments from the United States to Colombia is 200 USD.
Jersey: The de minimis values only apply to B2C shipments.
Liechtenstein: Liechtenstein waives all duty on the order if
the amount of duty payable is under 5 CHF or all the VAT on the order if the VAT
payable is under 5 CHF. For example, if the amount of VAT payable is under 5 CHF
but the amount of duty payable is over 5 CHF, then all VAT is waived but duty still
applies.
Norway: Under Norway’s VOEC scheme,
if you sell over 50,000 NOK a year into Norway, you are required to register and
remit VAT on any shipment where all items are valued at or less than 3,000 NOK,
but not via the customs clearance process. The VAT is remitted to the tax authority
quarterly by the registered sender. Under the scheme, the VAT de minimis is 0 and
there is no duty at all. Outside of the scheme, the VAT and duty de minimis values
are both 350 NOK.
Qatar: Quatar’s duty and tax de minimis is 0 QAR for non-personal
shipments and 1,000 QAR for personal shipments.

De minimis values
Learn what a de minimis value is and what each contry's de minimis value is.
A de minimis is a threshold that exempts imports from duty and or tax/VAT and differs by country. De minimis value has a significant impact on ecommerce, because business-to-consumer (B2C) orders are typically a much lower value than business-to-business (B2B). De minimis value provides faster clearance and opportunity to sell into markets competitively.
Countries that are a member of the European Union and use the Euro as a currency all share the same de minimis thresholds.
In the United States, imports are duty and tax-free due to the generous 800 USD de minimis. Then, there are other countries where the de minimis is not as straightforward as it appears, such as Australia’s 1,000 AUD de minimis. Australia’s de minimis is technically 1,000 AUD; however, if you sell over 75,000 AUD a year into Australia, you are required to register/remit GST and not via the customs clearance process. Russia’s de minimis threshold is 200 EUR and accompanied by a weight threshold of 31 kilos. When either or both are exceeded, the shipment is no longer a low-value personal shipment and the importer must hire a broker to clear it.
