Do I pay customs duty when sending from Italy to Guinea-Bissau?

Where the route crosses a customs border, a declaration accompanies every parcel. Booking from Torino generates the required form from the contents and value you enter. The recipient in Guinea-Bissau pays any import duty and local VAT on arrival. Customs calculates both on the declared value. Declare honestly.

Gifts below the local de minimis threshold are often exempt from duty. Guinea-Bissau 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.
