How to get a FedEx parcel or
freight quickly

( 2 ) The FedEx courier service delivers packages to both individuals and companies. And many customers think that since they are not a legal entity and the amount of their delivery is not so great, they will have no problems with the receipt. But this is not the case. Any shipment, parcel, or documents whose value exceeds 150 euro - are taxed. This implies that you have to come to customs and clear your goods.

FedEx does not offer customs clearance as a standard service, which means it is up to you. To pick up a package or freight, you'll need to:

  • Come directly to the customs office where the parcel has arrived.
  • Gather the necessary documents.
  • Conduct an actual inspection of the parcel to make sure it fully meets the data specified in the documents.
  • Pay the tax.
  • Make customs declaration.

You need to consider the cost of the trip to customs and the time spent on collecting and drawing up all the necessary documents. Not to mention the fact that it is rarely possible to fill out all the documents without mistakes the first time, and the package will only be stored in Ukraine for a month. Keep in mind that if you don't get everything done in time, it will go back at your expense.

If you understand that you just want to get a parcel and not complicate your life, you should sign a contract with a customs broker.

From 190 € - this is the full cost of the parcel, 150 € are not taxed, and the remaining 40 € are subject to customs duties at the rate of the NBU on the day of clearance.

Example of customs charges calculation

The approximate value of a foreign parcel is 190 EUR
The base for taxation will be: 190 - 150 = 40 Euro
Duty: (190 - 150) * 10% = 4 EUR
Value Added Tax (VAT): (40 + 4) * 20% = 8.8 euro
Duty + VAT: duty 4 euro + Value Added Tax (VAT) 8.8 euro = 12.8 euro

Total: 12.8 EUR

*The approximate amount of charges - (479,93 UAH) depends on the exchange rate established by the NBU on the date of execution of the relevant documents.
