HU/LT/SE/FI/AT/SK/SI/GR Rail DDP Standard

Rail freight on this route runs about 18–28 calendar days door-to-door, plus roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. Customs clearance is coordinated through our DDP Service (a customs and tax handling service, not Incoterms DDP).

Clearance is handled by the national EU customs authority. The regime is: Import VAT 17–27%; duty 0–12% by TARIC, with a de-minimis position of EUR 150. Our DDP Service coordinates this customs and tax processing for both parties; it does not constitute Incoterms DDP.
