Customs Duties & Taxes Overview for Greece
As a member of the European Union, Greece applies the EU Common Customs Tariff (CCT) to goods imported from non-EU countries, ensuring uniform rates across member states. Importers must utilize the Combined Nomenclature (CN) for classification to determine duties, which are typically calculated on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value of the shipment. In addition to standard tariffs, importers must account for Greece's standard VAT rate of 24%, which is among the highest in the EU.

- Ad Valorem Duty: The most common import duty, calculated as a percentage of the goods' customs value.
- Specific Duty: A flat rate charge applied per physical unit of the good, such as per kilogram or per liter.
- Compound Duty: Applied primarily to agricultural goods, this combines a percentage of value with a specific charge per unit.
- Antidumping Duties: Special tariffs imposed by the EU to neutralize the effect of goods dumped on the market at unfairly low prices.
- Excise Duty: A consumption tax levied on specific commodities like fuel and alcohol, payable upon release for consumption.
- US-Specific Fees (MPF, HMF, Section 301): These are strictly United States customs charges and are not applicable to imports entering Greece.
