About Customs When Shipping to Lithuania

Shipping into Lithuania is regulated by the Lithuanian Customs Department (Muitinės Departamentas). Since Lithuania is part of the European Union Customs Union, imports from Nigeria are treated as imports from a non-EU country and are subject to EU customs procedures.

Proper declaration and accurate documentation help reduce the risk of delays, inspections, customs reassessments, or additional charges.

Will I Pay Customs Charges When Shipping to Lithuania?

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 Lithuania

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.
