Will I pay customs on a Trendyol order to Lithuania?
Trendyol reaches Lithuanian buyers from Türkiye, and that origin cuts both ways. Türkiye is neither in the EU VAT area — so Lithuanian VAT at 21% applies to every order, collected at checkout for consignments up to €150 — nor a straightforward third country, because the EU-Türkiye customs union can let free-circulation goods with A.TR certificates enter without conventional duty. Whether that certificate also neutralises the flat low-value duty on a given parcel is applied in practice, not promised in advance; the assessment on your delivery notification is definitive.
Planning conservatively means using the standard rule from 1 July 2026: €3 of duty for each distinct HS6 tariff line in the parcel. Since Lietuvos paštas handles most Trendyol deliveries, any amounts not settled at checkout are collected through its processes — occasionally via the self-service portal when declaration data needs completing.
Either way, the days of charge-free small parcels are over; the useful question is how many tariff lines your basket spans.

Worked example
Follow one order through: two knitted tops at €8.40 each and a €17.60 woven shirt, posted for €5.25 — €34.40 in goods. The knitted pair shares a single HS6 heading; the woven shirt takes a second. Three garments, 2 lines: duty 2 × €3 = €6 on the standard path. Checkout VAT amounted to €8.33, and Lietuvos paštas handling typically adds €0–€8, for €53.98–€61.98 all told — €6–€14 of it collected around delivery. An A.TR-cleared consignment might show a different duty figure; compare your carrier notice against this baseline.

Frequently asked questions
- Does a Trendyol parcel from Turkiye clear Lithuanian customs without duty?
- Only possibly. The EU-Türkiye customs union removes conventional duty for free-circulation goods with an A.TR certificate, yet whether the flat €3 per-line duty is also set aside for such low-value parcels is decided in customs practice. Lithuanian VAT at 21% applies in every scenario. Plan with the duty included and verify what was actually charged on delivery.
- How is customs duty calculated on a Trendyol clothing order to Lithuania?
- On the IOSS path for orders up to €150: count the distinct HS6 tariff lines and multiply by €3. Garment construction matters — knitted and woven pieces occupy different headings — so two knitted tops plus a woven shirt is two lines and 2 × €3, while any number of same-heading tops stays at one €3. Items and parcels are never the unit.
- Was Lithuanian VAT already in my Trendyol checkout price?
- For orders up to €150, yes — VAT at 21% on goods plus shipping is collected at checkout under IOSS, and no customs-union preference removes it. What may still be collected with delivery is the per-line duty and the post's handling. Above €150, VAT switches to import VAT charged at the border on goods, shipping and duty.
- What does Lietuvos pastas charge for a non-IOSS Trendyol parcel?
- It advances the assessed amounts — the tariff for each HS code, potentially at a preferential rate if A.TR paperwork accompanies the goods, plus import VAT at 21% on the full base — and applies its handling fee, typically €0–€8, collected before the parcel is released. You may also need to complete the declaration in the self-service portal, which adds days.
- Is the flat duty on Trendyol parcels to Lithuania permanent?
- No. It is transitional, scheduled through July 1, 2028, after which low-value imports move onto normal per-product tariffs via the EU Customs Data Hub. For Turkish-origin fashion the long-term picture depends heavily on customs-union preference; without it, textile tariffs exceed today's flat amounts for most baskets, so later rules are unlikely to be cheaper.
