Importing to the Sweden: is it actually cheaper?
We haven't priced individual products for Sweden yet — but the checker works on any Sweden product link right now: paste one and we read its price, match our US price of record, and do the landed-cost math below. Here's how importing to Sweden works.
How importing to the Sweden works
- Import VAT
- 25% on the US price + shipping (CIF), above a 0 kr de-minimis threshold.
- Duty
- 0% — Consumer electronics (smartphones HS 8517, laptops HS 8471, cameras, headphones) carry 0% MFN duty EU-wide under the WTO Information Technology Agreement (ITA). However, since the 1 Jul 2026 EU customs reform, parcels valued under €150 that previously entered duty-free now incur a temporary flat €3 charge per 4-digit tariff heading (in effect until the EU Customs Data Hub goes live ~2028); the underlying tariff rate on these electronics remains 0%.
- Forwarding
- MyUS, from the US — about 5-12 days.
- FX
- kr9.991/USD mid-market + 3% card spread, as of 2026-10-11.
Every verdict is computed only from these figures — it's never for sale, and we're not a shipping company, so we don't earn more when you import.
