As a reminder, from 1 November this year, a mechanism for levying VAT on the import of goods via postal consignments, as well as a charge of 12 lei per parcel from abroad, has been introduced by law in Moldova.
The new tax regime came into force in accordance with the amendments to Article 118³ of the Tax Code, approved as part of the 2027 tax policy package, which was adopted by Parliament at its second reading on 22 October this year.
In connection with the harmonisation of national procedures with EU customs regulations and the introduction of the aforementioned new taxation mechanism for goods purchased on foreign marketplaces, the Moldovan Customs Service (CS) has updated the rules for clearing international postal items.
Official information and answers to questions regarding the customs clearance of international postal consignments are contained in a video dedicated to the new rules, which came into force on 1 November 2026.
In it, Igor Yurko, Head of the Department for the Organisation of Customs Control and Trade Facilitation, explains where to find the new regulations and who to contact for clarification on customs rules and formalities.
