Online shopping in third countries
From July 1, 2021, new rules apply to goods coming to Slovenia from third countries. The import of goods of small value up to EUR 22 is no longer exempt from paying VAT, but 22% VAT is charged for all shipments up to a value of EUR 150, but the shipments are still exempt from paying customs duties. VAT and customs brokerage services must therefore be paid for these shipments, whereby the customs procedure is paid to Pošta Slovenije, and the amount of the calculated tax to FURS.
