For buyers in Ukraine, the most important customs question is not whether AliExpress works, but how the value of an international parcel changes the final cost. A relatively small difference in order value can move a shipment from the duty-free range into the taxable range, so it pays to calculate before checkout.

How the €150 threshold works

Ukraine's State Customs Service states that goods in international postal and express shipments with a total invoice value above €150 and up to €10,000 are subject to 10% import duty and 20% VAT. The taxable base is the part of the value that exceeds €150. Customs also warns that several parcels from the same sender to the same recipient in the same dispatch can be assessed together.

That makes order structure important. Do not assume that splitting one purchase into several parcels will always keep each parcel below the threshold. If customs treats them as one dispatch, the combined value can affect the calculation.

Keep the purchase evidence easy to show

Save the AliExpress order page, payment confirmation and product description until delivery is complete. If customs or the carrier asks for evidence of value, these records are much more useful than a screenshot of a seller's later price. Make sure the recipient name and delivery details match the person receiving the parcel.

For a new account or changed delivery address, PoKupar's guide to filling in an AliExpress address can help you review the basic fields before you order. A complete phone number is also important when the local carrier needs to contact you.

Choose shipping by risk, not habit

For low-cost items, a slower tracked option may be reasonable. For more expensive electronics, parts or gifts, better tracking can be worth paying for because it gives you clearer evidence when the parcel changes carriers or enters customs processing. PoKupar's AliExpress tracking guide explains the main tracking stages and why one tracking number can show different events across networks.

Delivery estimates should be treated as estimates. Border processing, security conditions, carrier routing and local delivery can all affect the actual arrival date. If you need something for a fixed event, order with a substantial time buffer rather than relying on the shortest estimate shown on the listing.

Sales can change whether an order crosses the line

A coupon can do more than improve the price: it can also change the invoice value of the order. For a purchase near €150, check the final amount actually charged and keep the order evidence that shows it. PoKupar's AliExpress sales calendar can help you plan non-urgent orders around recurring promotions without adding items you do not need.

Before you pay

Confirm the exact variation, seller record, recent buyer feedback, shipping method and final amount. If the order is near or above €150, estimate the possible customs cost before treating the purchase as a bargain. If the product may be restricted or requires special permission, verify that separately with the appropriate Ukrainian authority.

AliExpress can still offer useful price and product options for Ukrainian buyers, but the strongest buying habit is simple: know the parcel value, keep clean purchase evidence and choose a delivery route that gives you enough visibility if customs or the carrier needs to intervene.
