How the Fee Is Calculated
Step 1: EU Customs duty = €3 × tariff classifications
Step 2: VAT base = Declared value + Customs flat fee
Step 3: Import VAT = VAT base × 21%
Estimated checkout total = Declared value + Customs duty + Import VAT
Customs = €3 × 1 = €3.00
VAT = (€20 + €3) × 0.21 = €4.83
Total = €20 + €3 + €4.83 = €27.83
