Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find answers to common questions about our products, services, and policies to help you quickly get the information you need.
Are there still customs duties for goods imported from the EU and the US in 2026?
For the vast majority of industrial goods originating from the EU, there are no customs duties in 2026 due to the completion of the 10-year tariff phase-out under the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA). Furthermore, the government has abolished customs duties on all products originating from the United States, meaning US goods also benefit from a 0% tariff as long as valid proof of origin is provided.
How do I file a customs declaration for my imports?
The entire customs clearance process is managed digitally through the ASYCUDA World system. Importers must be registered with a Fiscal Number and typically authorize a licensed Customs Broker to lodge the Single Administrative Document (SAD) and upload all required commercial documents directly into the platform on their behalf.
Do I have to clear my ocean freight at the Kosovo land border?
No, you can process it earlier. Kosovo Customs has a dedicated office at the Port of Durrës in Albania. This allows importers to initiate a transit procedure or complete full customs clearance right at the seaport, which helps bypass border congestion and significantly speeds up delivery times for your supply chain.
What are the VAT rates for imported goods, and how is it calculated?
The standard VAT rate is 18% for most imported goods, while a reduced rate of 8% applies to essential items like basic food products, medicines, and medical devices. VAT is assessed on the total landed cost of the goods, which includes the product price, insurance, freight (CIF value), customs duties, and any applicable excise taxes.
What special licenses do I need to import pharmaceuticals or food products?
These sectors are strictly regulated. Pharmaceutical imports require a specific Import License from the Kosovo Medicines Agency, the drugs must be registered locally, and their declared values must comply with the official drug price list. For food and agricultural products, you must provide veterinary or phytosanitary certificates, and the goods are subject to mandatory inspections by the Food and Veterinary Agency (KFVA) at border inspection posts.
What is the fastest way to handle customs clearance in Kosovo?
The fastest way to handle customs clearance is through a broker that utilizes digital processing and smart document handling. IMEX uses these digital tools to minimize manual errors and ensure rapid approval from authorities.
How can logistics companies offer customs services without a license?
Logistics companies and freight forwarders can join the IMEX Logistics Partner Program. By partnering with a licensed broker like IMEX, you can provide professional customs clearance to your clients while our experts handle all technical regulations.
Why should e-commerce importers use digital customs tools?
E-commerce and electronics importers often deal with high-frequency shipments. Digital customs efficiency reduces the time spent on manual paperwork, ensuring that small online retailers can meet tight delivery deadlines for their customers.
