Do I pay customs duty sending from Slovenia to South Africa?
That depends on the customs relationship between Slovenia and South Africa. A parcel for CAPE TOWN follows the rules of these two countries. Parcels moving inside one customs territory, such as between two EU member states, need no declaration. They attract no import duty and no import VAT.
Where the route crosses a customs border, a declaration accompanies every parcel. Booking from Slovenia generates the required form from the contents and value you enter.

Understated values are the most common cause of parcels held at the border.
Gifts below the local de-minimis threshold are often exempt from duty. South Africa sets that threshold, not the carrier. Restrictions on excise goods such as alcohol and tobacco apply on every route. They apply even inside the EU.
