Importing from Belgium to Panama: FAQ
How is import duty calculated for goods shipped from Belgium to Panama?
Duty is the tariff rate for the product's HS code multiplied by the dutiable value. Panama assesses ad valorem duty on the CIF value: the price of the goods plus the cost of international freight and insurance to the point of entry. Import VAT (ITBMS) is then charged at 7% on CIF + duty. Enter your HS code or a product description above to get the exact rate for your goods.
What is the import VAT rate in Panama?
The standard rate used by the calculator is 7% (ITBMS), charged on CIF + duty.
Is there a de minimis threshold for imports into Panama?
There is no de minimis threshold on file for Panama. Duty and import taxes apply from the first unit of value.
Is shipping cost included in the dutiable value in Panama?
Yes. Panama uses CIF valuation, so international freight and insurance are added to the price of the goods before duty is calculated. Enter them in the shipping and insurance fields above.
Are there customs fees on top of duty in Panama?
The calculator applies no ad valorem entry fees or statutory surcharges for Panama. Broker, carrier and storage charges are not included.
What currency are duties paid in for Panama?
Duties and import taxes in Panama are assessed in PAB. The calculator above accepts an invoice in USD or PAB and reports the result in the invoice currency you choose.
Do goods from Belgium get a preferential duty rate in Panama?
No trade agreement covering both Belgium and Panama is on file in the LandedFees trade agreement database, so the calculator uses the standard (MFN) rate. Additional duties that depend on origin are applied where the tariff data has them.
