Lithuania Tariff 2026: Stay Compliant, Reduce Costs

Lithuania Customs Duties Overview

As a member of the European Union, Lithuania adheres to the EU Common Customs Tariff (CCT), meaning duties are standardized across the bloc for imports from non-EU nations. Importers must classify goods using the Combined Nomenclature (CN) to determine applicable rates, which generally range from 0% to 17% for industrial goods, alongside a standard Import VAT of 21%. SME importers should verify origin documentation to leverage potential preferential rates under EU Free Trade Agreements.

Duty Types Breakdown

• Ad Valorem Duty: This is the most common form of taxation, calculated as a percentage of the commercial value (CIF) of the imported goods.
• Specific Duty: A fixed monetary charge applied per physical unit of the good, such as weight or volume, commonly seen in agricultural imports.
• Compound Duty: A hybrid structure consisting of both an ad valorem percentage and a specific duty component used for sensitive product categories.
• Antidumping Duties: Additional tariffs imposed by the EU to protect domestic industries from foreign goods sold at unfairly low prices.
• Excise Duty: A consumption tax levied on specific goods such as fuel, tobacco, and alcohol, payable upon release for consumption in Lithuania.
• Section 301, MPF, & HMF: These are United States-specific regulatory fees and trade actions; they do not apply to Lithuanian imports, though standard local port fees will apply.
