LimitsThe US$800 duty-free allowance for low-value parcels is suspended: from 24 June 2026 for courier and other non-postal parcels, and from 24 July 2026 for postal parcels.

Since 24 July 2026 the US adds a 12.5% tariff (Section 301) to goods from Australia. Products on its exemption list are not charged it. We haven't been able to read the exemption tables, so we haven't confirmed whether honey, honey drops or honey with added ingredients are exempt. We show the full 12.5% as the most that could apply. We haven't found a US line of its own for honey with added ingredients, and we haven't confirmed which line applies. The standard rate on pure Manuka honey is 1.9 cents per kg. Under the US-Australia Free Trade Agreement it is Free for Australian goods. The importer makes that claim on their own knowledge, with the letters AU on the entry (19 CFR 10.723). Customs can ask for a supporting statement (19 CFR 10.724). None is needed for a non-commercial import or goods worth US$2,500 or less (19 CFR 10.726). We haven't confirmed whether the carrier makes the claim on parcels. For honey with added ingredients, the closest line we found is 2106.90.99.88 (flavored honey). Its standard rate is 6.4%, and it is Free under the agreement. Under the agreement, honey drops are Free on heading 1704.90 except line 1704.90.58. That line is not Free for Australia and points to a separate heading (9822.04.25). We haven't confirmed which line our drops are entered under. The US has no federal VAT or GST. Its retail sales tax is set by each state and local government, not federally (OECD). Orders from our Australian site to the US are usually fulfilled from our US warehouse, so no import duty applies. Our Australian checkout does not collect US state sales tax. Our US store collects sales tax for California only. A customs processing fee can apply to informal entries (19 CFR 24.23). We haven't confirmed the current amount or whether it applies to parcels.

Honey is duty free in the Canadian customs tariff, at both the most favoured nation rate and the CPTPP rate. Honey is a basic grocery, which is zero-rated for GST/HST in every province and territory, and no GST is payable on imported goods zero-rated this way. Tax source: Canada Revenue Agency, GST/HST Memorandum 4-4 (honey zero-rated under Part III of Schedule VI) and the CRA page "Charge and collect the GST/HST: which rate". Honey with added ingredients is declared under the same HS code as our honey (0409.00), so it has the same duty and tax. Honey drops (1704.90) are 9.5%, or 0% under the CPTPP trade agreement with proof of Australian origin. Duty source: Canada's Customs Tariff 2026, chapters 4 and 17. Honey drops are confectionery, so they carry the standard GST or HST (source: Canada Revenue Agency, GST/HST rates page and Memorandum 4-3).

Pure Manuka honey pays 45% customs duty (standard rate) in North Macedonia. We read the duty from the ITC Market Access Map, for tariff year 2024, the latest it shows, because we couldn't find North Macedonia's own customs tariff. We haven't confirmed it on the national tariff. The tool shows no reduced rate for goods from Australia. The Ministry of Finance says 18% is the general VAT rate, and 5% applies to products for human nutrition, on supply and import. We haven't found honey named under the 5% rate. If our honey drops are charged as sugar confectionery, the duty is 10% plus €0.24 per kg, up to 20% in total, depending on the type of sweet. The general rate for other sweets is 20%. We haven't confirmed which applies, or whether sweets get the 5% VAT rate. We declare honey with added ingredients as honey, which pays 45%.

Norwegian Customs says food importers must register with the Food Safety Authority. We haven't confirmed whether the 1 kg applies per parcel or per person, how it applies to honey, or whether the registration applies to a private customer's parcel.

Pure Manuka honey pays NOK 24.47 per kg in customs duty (the standard rate, with no preference for Australia) and 15% VAT in Norway. Duty on a 250 g jar is about NOK 6, before VAT. VAT is charged on the price plus duty, shipping and fees. Norway charges 15% VAT on food and beverages and 25% on other goods. Honey drops are sugar confectionery (17.04) and pay up to NOK 6.71 per kg, a maximum rate that can be lower. Norway's sugar tax does not apply to sugar that forms part of another product. We declare honey with added ingredients as honey, which pays NOK 24.47 per kg. Customs could charge it as a food preparation (21.06) instead, up to NOK 31.71 per kg. We haven't confirmed which applies. We've used this tariff line for the drops. Norwegian Customs may classify them differently. Norwegian Customs says some agricultural products and finished goods also pay a research levy. We haven't confirmed whether it applies to honey or to our drops.

Honey drops (1704 90) pay 9% plus an agricultural component, capped at 18.7%, plus a sugar duty. The agricultural component depends on the drops' sugar and milk content, and we haven't confirmed the amount. VAT on drops is the standard 23%, TEDB's default when a goods code is missing. We declare honey with added ingredients as honey (0409), so it pays 17.3% duty. Customs could class it as a food preparation (2106 90) instead, which pays 12.8%, or 9% plus an agricultural component. VAT is 5%, or 8% if customs classes it as a food preparation (2106). The EU's €3 duty applies only to parcels sent by post or through the EU's import scheme (IOSS). We aren't registered for IOSS, and we send most European orders with DHL Express, which isn't a postal service, so the €3 duty doesn't apply to them. If we send your order by post, it may apply.

Pure Manuka honey pays CHF 38 per 100 kg gross weight in customs duty (standard rate) and 2.6% VAT in Switzerland, according to the Swiss General Tariff and the Swiss Tax Administration. The tariff states that the rate charged at import can be lower, and we haven't confirmed whether a trade agreement lowers it for Australian goods. Customs duty is not charged when it is under CHF 5. On gross weight, that is about 13 kg of honey (our calculation). A separate 2 kg limit may apply, see the parcel rules. Import VAT is not charged when the VAT due is CHF 5 or less. At 2.6%, that is roughly CHF 190 of honey or less (our calculation). Other goods pay the normal VAT rate of 8.1%. If Swiss Customs classifies our honey drops as sugar confectionery, the duty is CHF 69 to CHF 107 per 100 kg gross, depending on sugar content and shape. VAT on drops is 2.6%. We haven't confirmed which line applies. We declare honey with added ingredients as honey, which pays CHF 38 per 100 kg.

We haven't confirmed that the rule is unchanged, or whether an order from a seller counts as non-commercial.

Bangladesh charges several duties and taxes one after another. Each is worked out on a base that includes the earlier ones. We show customs duty and regulatory duty as the duty.

No Bangladesh ruling covers honey with added ingredients either. It could be classed as honey or as other food preparations, which carry a 20% supplementary duty and 96.10% in total.

The surcharge is worked out on the two duties. IGST is worked out on everything before it. The duty and tax on each row add up to the total.

We haven't confirmed whether this applies to courier parcels, or whether the limit is per shipment or per month.

Kazakhstan charges nothing on international postal items for personal use up to €200 in value and 31 kg in weight. Above that, it charges 15% of the value over the limit, and at least €2 per kg of weight over the limit. The East Kazakhstan office of Kazakhstan's State Revenue Committee calls this a customs payment. The postal limit is the same for every Biosota product. For goods outside these postal rules, the WTO lists a standard duty of 15% on honey, with no lower rate for Australia. Not confirmed: whether VAT is included, whether the rules cover courier parcels, whether the limit is per shipment or per month, and Kazakhstan's food import rules, which may apply to honey.

LimitsRoyal Malaysian Customs says a consignment sent to Malaysia by air courier with a value of RM500 or less (goods plus insurance and freight) is exempt from import duty and sales tax on imports. It doesn't apply to goods imported by road. Above RM500, duty and sales tax apply. We haven't confirmed how postal consignments are treated.

Malaysia charges import duty and sales tax on imported goods. Honey is 0% duty with 5% sales tax. Honey drops have standard duty of 15% and 10% sales tax. We read honey drops as sweets. We declare honey with added ingredients as honey, which pays 0% duty. Customs could class it as a food preparation instead, which pays 15% duty. We haven't found a ruling on it. Both carry 5% sales tax. Air courier consignments worth RM500 or less (value of the goods plus insurance and freight) are exempt from import duty and sales tax on imports. Malaysia's trade agreements with Australia may lower the 15% duty for Australian goods with proof of origin. We haven't checked. Malaysia also charges 10% sales tax at the point of sale on goods worth RM500 or less from sellers registered for it. Biosota isn't registered, so we don't charge it at checkout. The sales tax rates come from Malaysia's Sales Tax (Rate of Sales Tax) Order 2025, in force from 1 July 2025. We haven't confirmed what amount sales tax is worked out on, or Malaysia's food import rules for personal parcels.

LimitsPakistani trade media report that the Finance Act 2025 limits the duty exemption for low-value post and courier parcels to parcels worth PKR 1,000 or less (Customs Act Section 19C). On that report, the rates in the table apply to parcels above that limit.We haven't confirmed the limit from the Act's text, or whether it changed in 2026. We haven't confirmed how it affects sales tax or advance income tax.

Pakistan's tariff sets customs duty of 20%, regulatory duty of 20% and additional customs duty of 2%, which total 42%, for all three products. We haven't confirmed that a trade agreement applies, so we show the standard rates. The Pakistan Single Window trade portal lists sales tax of 18% on honey and honey with added ingredients, and 25% on honey drops. It lists advance income tax of 12%, except 11% on honey with added ingredients. We haven't confirmed how the advance income tax applies to a personal order, or how these taxes apply to parcels. For honey imports the portal also lists a health certificate for animal products from the Animal Quarantine Department and a release order from the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority. We haven't confirmed whether these apply to consumer parcels.

LimitsSection 423 of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act sets a limit of PHP 10,000: goods valued at or below it are not charged duties and taxes. The value is the FOB or FCA value, which leaves out international freight and insurance. The rates in the table apply to goods above the limit. The Secretary of Finance adjusts the limit every three years, so the current amount may be different.We haven't confirmed whether parcels sent on the same day are added together, or whether the limit applies to food.

The Philippines charges 7% on pure Manuka honey and honey with added ingredients, and 15% on honey drops. Under the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement the duty on honey, honey with added ingredients and honey drops is 0%. That 0% applies only with proof that the goods meet the agreement's origin rules (a Certificate of Origin, Form AANZ). We haven't confirmed whether Philippine Customs asks for the certificate on parcels, or who issues it. VAT is 12%, charged on the customs value plus the duty and any other charges. The Philippines exempts some agricultural food products from VAT when they are in their original state. We haven't confirmed whether that covers pure Manuka honey.

LimitsKorea Customs exempts personal-use goods with a total customs value, including shipping, of USD 150 or less from customs duty and VAT. Above that, duty and VAT apply to the whole customs value. Food is excluded from Korea's simplified route for small parcels. We haven't confirmed whether food can claim the exemption another way.

Korea charges 243% or 1,864 won per kg, whichever is greater, on natural honey. The trade agreement leaves that rate unchanged. Korea's tariff also lists a 20% rate for honey imported within a quota. A quota rate needs a recommendation from a designated Korean agency. We haven't confirmed that a consumer parcel can use it. Honey drops are 0% under the trade agreement with proof of origin, a document from the exporter showing the goods are Australian. We haven't confirmed how a consumer parcel gets one. Without it the basic rate of 8% applies. Korea may classify honey drops under a different line. We haven't confirmed which line applies. Korea Customs has classified honey with 1% added citric acid and lemon flavour, and honey with 4% added truffle and flavour, as natural honey. Our blends add 4% to 7% (ginger and lemon 7%, turmeric and cinnamon 4%), and the chilli blend is 3% chilli plus cayenne pepper. No ruling covers blends like ours. Korea Customs classified Manuka honey with 1% propolis and 2% Kakadu plum powder as a honey preparation at 8%. We show 8% because of that ruling. If Korea Customs classes ours as honey instead, it pays 243% or 1,864 won per kg, whichever is greater. VAT is generally 10%. Food is excluded from Korea's simplified route for small parcels. We haven't confirmed whether food can claim the USD 150 exemption.

LimitsTaipei Customs says postal parcels with a customs value of NT$2,000 or less are exempt from customs duty, commodity tax and business tax. Customs value includes the goods, freight and insurance. Above NT$2,000, the Ministry of Finance says duty and tax apply to the whole value. Parcels from the same sender to the same person on the same day are added together. We haven't confirmed that the same limit applies to our express shipments.

Taiwan's standard rates are 35% on natural honey and 27.5% on honey drops. The WTO data lists no special rate for Australia, so we show the standard rates. We haven't confirmed whether Taiwan asks for proof of origin. We declare honey with added ingredients as honey, so it pays 35%. Taiwan Customs could class it differently, and we haven't found that rate. We haven't confirmed how Taiwan classifies it. Taiwan adds a 5% business tax on the customs value plus duty. Customs value is the goods, freight and insurance. Taiwan Customs may also charge a small trade promotion fee of 0.0425% of the customs value. We haven't confirmed whether it applies to parcels of NT$2,000 or less. Taipei Customs says a parcel with a customs value of NT$2,000 or less is exempt from duty and tax. Above that, the Ministry of Finance says duty and tax apply to the whole value. The exemption does not apply to frequent senders: more than six times in a half year. Taiwan's express shipment rules have a duty-free class for goods worth NT$2,000 or less. We haven't confirmed that it applies to our orders. Taiwan's Food and Drug Administration lets people import food for personal use without an inspection application if each item is worth under US$1,000, weighs under 6 kg and is not for sale. We haven't confirmed how this applies to a parcel.

LimitsVietnam charges duty on the whole parcel once the customs value is over VND 1,000,000 or the duty due is over VND 100,000 (Decree 18/2021, Article 29). Below those amounts, postal and express parcels are exempt from customs duty. The duty rates in the table apply above those limits.We haven't confirmed whether VAT is charged on low-value parcels.

Vietnam charges 10% on pure Manuka honey. Honey drops pay 15% to 20%, depending on the tariff line. We declare honey with added ingredients as honey, which pays 10% without proof of origin. Vietnam Customs could class it differently, at up to 15%. Under the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA) the duty on pure Manuka honey, honey drops and honey with added ingredients is 0% with proof of origin. That 0% applies only if the goods meet the agreement's origin rules (a certificate of origin). We haven't confirmed whether Vietnam Customs asks for the certificate on parcels, or who issues it. The standard rates are Vietnam's 2023 rates as published by Australia's trade department, and we haven't confirmed they are unchanged. VAT: the VAT law doesn't tax livestock products that are unprocessed or only lightly processed when they are imported. Decree 181/2025 lists what counts as ordinary preliminary processing: cleaning, drying, milling, cold storage and similar steps. It doesn't mention honey, filtering or bottling, and it leaves unclear cases to Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Environment. We show the 8% rate because we haven't confirmed that Vietnam treats our honey as unprocessed. Other products pay 10% VAT, cut to 8% from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2026 unless that reduced rate is extended. Decree 174/2025 applies the cut at the import stage. We haven't confirmed that the reduced rate covers drops. The VAT sources are English translations, not the Official Gazette.
