As of July 1, 2021, import VAT exemption for goods with a value under 22 EUR will be abolished. All consignments sent from third countries to Lithuania will be subject to Lithuanian import VAT. Due to these changes, sellers or buyers of the goods will be required to declare even the cheapest products by submitting electronic customs declarations and pay the import VAT at the Lithuanian border. These new regulations will affect many businesses and consumers, however, Lithuanian authorities are now ready for new rules to come into effect and prepared the measures to simplify import procedures as much as possible.
