How to calculate

result = amount × rate (Lebanese Pound)

This Lebanon customs duty calculator takes your amount and the active rate and returns a result in Lebanese Pound. Lebanon-specific rules may apply, so verify the rate before relying on the number. Enter the customs duty rate for Lebanon as a plain percentage (15 means 15%, not 0.15).

Tips

  • 1

    Lebanon publishes customs duty figures in Lebanese Pound, revised periodically — enter the rate currently in force for your case in Lebanon rather than an older stored figure so the result matches the official calculation.

  • 2

    Keep the customs duty amount and rate for Lebanon on one period and one basis — monthly Lebanese Pound figures with an annual rate, or gross with net, give a number that is arithmetically right but misleading in practice.

  • 3

    When comparing two options for Lebanon, run both through this customs duty with the same rate and the same Lebanese Pound basis; then the difference you see reflects the options themselves rather than an inconsistency between the two inputs.

Common Mistakes

  • Rates in Lebanon move — annually, or with each fiscal announcement — and a Customs Duty result computed from last year's figure misleads budgets and quotes alike. Re-enter the current rate whenever the underlying number changes.

  • Duty rates are product-specific: Lebanon customs schedules assign every item a code with its own percentage, and a neighboring country's figure does not transfer. Classify the goods first, then compute the Lebanese Pound duty.

FAQs

How are customs duties calculated in Lebanon?

Duty is charged on the CIF value (goods + shipping + insurance) multiplied by the category rate: $1,000 of goods at 10% = $100 duty.

Is VAT added on imports?

Yes — VAT of 11% applies to the value plus customs duty and other fees after duty is computed.

Do cars have different rates?

Yes. Vehicle duties follow a special schedule based on engine size and age, so results differ from general goods rates.

What about personal shipments and gifts?

Small low-value shipments may qualify for exemptions within Lebanese customs limits; amounts beyond the threshold are assessed normally.

Who pays the duty and when?

The importer (or their broker) pays at customs clearance before release; couriers usually collect it along with their disbursement fees.
