Taxes and customs fees

The prices of products displayed on lojadeartigosreligiosos.com include VAT for the European community , bearing in mind that each country has a different VAT rate and the customer will pay the VAT rate corresponding to their country.

For example: The maximum VAT rate in Portugal is 23%, but in Spain it is 21% and in France it is 20%, the customer will pay the rate corresponding to their country.

For merchants validated in the VIES system of the member states , the VAT amount will be automatically deducted from the product price when the valid VAT is entered.

For non-EU countries, the product prices do not include VAT, meaning you will see product prices that are 23% lower than those sold in EU countries.

In the case of non-EU countries (those not belonging to the European community), they may have to pay import duties in their country; these import duties are usually referred to as the VAT of their country. That is, they do not pay the tax in Portugal at the time of purchase and may later have to pay the import duty.

Example:

Product A costs €50 in Europe, while the same product costs €40.65 in non-EU countries.

The customer is making the purchase in the United States of America; they may or may not have to pay import tax in their country.

Imports from the United States or Canada: There is no trade agreement that allows duty-free entry for general shipments up to €800 (or any high fixed value).

• Customs duties in the EU depend on the product's tariff code, its origin, and the value of the shipment.
• The previous duty exemption limit for low-value shipments (up to €150) has been eliminated; from July 2026, a minimum flat rate (e.g., €3 per item/classification) will apply in many low-value cases, transitioning to full duty collection from the first euro.
• VAT is due on most imports, regardless of the value.
• Benefits related to duty reduction/elimination may apply to products with proven preferential origin under CETA (for goods from Canada) or other preferential regimes, but require appropriate documentation (e.g., declaration of origin). We always recommend consulting the specific product rules in the European Commission's TARIC tool or with customs authorities, as rates vary and information may change.
