Do I Need to Pay Duties on My Shipment?

If you’re staying in Belarus temporarily on a work visa or a resident permit, you generally won’t be required to pay duties on your personal items.

However, if the total value of your items exceeds 1,000 EUR, you may be subject to duties. In such cases, you can apply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a duty exemption to import your belongings.

The import duty rate is typically calculated based on the total value and weight of your consignment. It’s essential to understand the duty regulations and requirements to ensure a smooth import process for your belongings.

How Much Does It Cost to Move to Belarus?

The cost of relocating to Belarus can vary significantly based upon a variety of factors and personal needs. Several factors influence the total cost, including:

1. Size and Volume of the Move: Shipping a 2-bedroom apartment will generally be more affordable than relocating a large house with extensive belongings.

2. Distance Between Origin and Destination: The distance traveled plays a significant role in determining transportation costs.

3. Transportation Method: Whether you opt for air freight or sea freight, each transportation method comes with its own associated costs.

4. Add-On Services: Additional services such as packing, marine insurance, and door-to-door delivery can impact the overall cost of your move.

 

Tailored Cost Solutions

Belarus, being a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, requires careful consideration in planning the logistics of your shipment. Shipments typically arrive at the ocean port of a neighboring country before being transported to Belarus via land or river.

Given the nuanced nature of international moves, we create custom cost solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. Our representatives are available to discuss the details of your move and provide you with a personalized moving quote.
