Customs
Tonga exempts shipments up to ~250 TOP (~100 EUR) from duty. CVAT (Consumption Tax) of 15% applies above this threshold along with customs duty per the Tongan tariff (0–45%). Tonga Revenue Services handles clearance in Nukuʻalofa (Tongatapu island). Tonga is a constitutional monarchy in the Pacific — one of the smallest states. DHL and FedEx have limited service to Nukuʻalofa. Remote Tongan islands are practically unreachable by express courier.
Required documents
- CN22 is a simplified customs declaration for parcels up to 2 kg and €270 in value. Completed at the post office or generated by the carrier. Without CN22, the parcel may be held at customs.
