About Customs When Shipping to Honduras

Shipping into Honduras is regulated by the Honduran Customs Administration (Administración Aduanera de Honduras). Proper declaration and correct documentation help prevent delays, inspections, additional charges, or customs issues. Honduras operates a structured customs system and customs authorities regularly assess imported goods based on their classification, declared value, and intended use. Commercial shipments are generally reviewed more closely than personal shipments. 

Will I Pay Customs Charges When Shipping to Honduras?

All packages except Documents are generally dutiable. However, whether or not a shipment will attract customs duties, taxes, or import charges depends on:

• What is being shipped

• The declared value

• Quantity

• Shipment purpose

• Shipment route selected

• The discretion of customs officials in Honduras

Some shipments may attract customs charges while others may not.

If you ship through certain Cargo routes on Routely, customs duties may already be covered or estimated as part of the shipping cost, where available.

You can easily check the route details to see whether the selected option already includes customs duty fees.

Using Routely, with its AI-enabled shipping system, helps ensure your shipment is booked correctly and properly declared. This reduces the chances of unnecessary customs issues or unwarranted duties.

What Customs Duty or Tax System Does Honduras Use?

Honduras generally applies customs charges based on:

• Import customs duty

• Sales Tax (ISV)

• Customs processing and administrative fees

• Special excise taxes on selected products

• Regulatory inspection fees where applicable

The standard Honduran Sales Tax (ISV) is generally 15% for most imported goods. Some products such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and certain luxury items may attract an 18% tax rate and additional excise taxes. Customs duties commonly range from 0% to 15% for many products, although some categories may attract higher rates depending on classification. Customs charges are generally calculated using the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight).

Thresholds may change at any time, so always check current rules before shipping.
