Duty & TAX

Bolivia doesn’t have de minimis value on duty & TAX. So you have to pay Duty & TAX from every package. Aduana.gob.bo is the official customs website.

We recommend using USPS Express and Planet Mail Express delivery methods (see more details below). If you use DHL or FedEx, there are huge fees for customs processing.

Planet Mail Express

If you use Planet Mail Express, you don’t have to pay VAT but the tracking info is not so exact and there are size & weight limits.

USPS Express

You have always pay VAT, however, you can send bigger packages (see size & weight limits).

The VAT rate is 14.71% + there is a customs tax. The rates vary according to a product category. Feel free to visit customs duties list where you can find all the categories and rates.

Example:

If you ship an Apple Airpods ($150) you have to pay 14.71% + 5% customs tax of the total value (shipping costs, insurance + value in customs declaration).

VAT $150*0.1471=$22.07
