Customs procedures:

Jordan uses the single administrative document (SAD) for import declarations. A paper copy of the declaration must be given to Customs, accompanied by supporting documents.

Personal Shipments:

Parcels valued at less than 200 Jordanian dinars (JOD) will incur a customs-processing fee of 10% of the parcel value. No extra taxes or fees will be applied. The minimum customs fee is 5 JOD, even if the value of the shipment is less than 50 JOD.

Parcels valued between 200 and 1,000 JOD will require a simplified customs declaration process and the customs tariff will be applied.

Parcels valued above 1,000 JOD will be subject to an import customs declaration process and the customs tariff will be applied. This excludes commercial parcels and excise goods, where applicable customs tariffs and fees will be applied.
