Understanding Import VAT Calculations

Import VAT Calculation Process:
  1. Start with CIF Value: Cost, Insurance, and Freight value of goods
  2. Add Import Duty: Calculated on CIF value based on tariff schedule
  3. Add Other Charges: Handling, storage, and processing fees
  4. Calculate Taxable Value: CIF + Import Duty + Other Charges
  5. Apply 16% VAT: VAT calculated on total taxable value
  6. Total Landed Cost: Sum of all costs and taxes
Important Notes:
  • Import duty rates vary by product - check ZRA tariff schedule
  • Some goods may qualify for duty exemptions or reductions
  • Additional fees may apply at ports and customs
