Shipping Information for Malta

General Information

Due to the fluctuations of the exchange rate, orders with value very close to the tax-free limit may be assessed Duties and Taxes (D&T) as the currency exchange rate may vary from the order date to the customs clearance date.

Please check with your customs office to see if you can import the items, and if any additional licenses or permits are needed.

Customs Information

Malta Customs and Port of Health Authorities will be enforcing an inspection of all orders containing consumable items. For any orders requiring an inspection before clearance, shipping carriers may collect a fee, separate from duties and taxes, before delivery.
