Foreign Trade Duties and Taxes in Malta
Gross Value-Added Tax: Value-added tax (VAT) is known as “BTW” (Belasting over de Toegevoegde Waarde) in Malta. While the regular VAT rate is 21%, many products and services are subject to 9% or 0% lower rates. A VAT exemption or discount may be available depending on the kind of product being imported.
Importers may be subject to customs duties when importing products into Malta. Different HS codes and countries have different tariff structures. The Common Customs Tariff (CCT) of the European Union provides uniform rates for customs taxes throughout the EU.
Excise taxes are levied on several goods, including booze, cigarettes, and energy supplies.

Cargo inspections and supplementary paperwork may be part of these services.
