Denmark Customs Duties Summary
Denmark, as a member of the European Union, applies the EU Common Customs Tariff (CCT) to goods imported from non-EU countries. While trade within the EU is generally duty-free, external imports are subject to rates determined by the Combined Nomenclature (CN) and the origin of the goods. Importers must also account for the Danish Value Added Tax (Moms), which is levied at a standard rate of 25% on the customs value plus duties.

|---|---|
| Ad Valorem Duty | 0% - 17% (Average EU rate ~4.2%) |
| Specific Duty | Varies (e.g., € per kg, liter, or % alcohol) |
| Compound Duty | Combination of Ad Valorem + Specific |
| Excise Duties | Product-specific (high rates on tobacco, fuel, alcohol) |
| Anti-dumping / Countervailing | Variable (can exceed 50% based on origin) |
| VAT (Moms) | 25% Standard Rate |

- Ad Valorem Duty: The most common tariff method, calculated as a percentage of the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value of the import.
- Specific Duty: A fixed monetary charge per physical unit of the good, such as weight or volume, often applied to agricultural products.
- Compound Duty: A hybrid calculation including both a percentage of value and a specific rate based on quantity.
- Excise Duties: Special taxes levied on specific consumption goods like energy products, alcohol, and tobacco to discourage consumption or raise revenue.
- Anti-dumping Duties: Additional tariffs imposed on specific manufacturers or countries to counter goods sold below fair market value.
- US-Specific Fees (Section 301, MPF, HMF): Note that Section 301 tariffs, MPF, and HMF are United States customs fees and do not apply to imports entering Denmark.
