Jordan's 2026 Parcel Rules: What the JOD 200 Duty Exemption Means for UK Orders
Jordan's 2026 Parcel Rules: What the JOD 200 Duty Exemption Means for UK Orders
TL;DR: Since 1 February 2026, personal parcels to Jordan with a customs value of up to JOD 200 are free of customs duty, down from 10%. A 16% sales tax still applies. For most everyday orders from British shops, that makes shopping simpler and cheaper, as long as each shipment stays personal and within the limit.
Quick answer: can I shop from UK websites and ship to Jordan? Yes. Personal parcels worth up to JOD 200 are now exempt from customs duty, although 16% sales tax still applies. Customers in Amman, Irbid, Zarqa and across Jordan can use a Send2Hub address in Britain to buy from retailers that don't ship to Jordan directly.
What Are Jordan's New Parcel Rules for 2026?
Since 1 February 2026, personal parcels valued at up to JOD 200 are exempt from customs duty, although a 16% sales tax still applies.
Before the change, these parcels paid customs duty of 10%. The sales tax is collected through Jordan's e-commerce customs centre. Large quantities of the same item may be treated as a commercial import rather than personal shopping, so the exemption is meant for everyday purchases. Rules can change, so check the latest guidance from Jordan Customs before you order.
How Much Tax Will You Pay on UK Orders?
Here's how the rules work in practice. Values are illustrative customs values.
| Scenario | Customs value | Customs duty | Sales tax (16%) |
| One shipment | JOD 150 | None | JOD 24 |
| One shipment | JOD 250 | Standard rules apply | Assessed by customs |
| Two genuinely separate orders, shipped at different times | JOD 120 and JOD 80 | None | JOD 19.20 and JOD 12.80 |
Our customs duty estimator gives you a guide for your own basket. Any tax and duty are paid by the recipient.
Should You Combine Orders?
Consolidation usually cuts shipping by 40 to 60%, but combining several orders into one shipment can take the value above JOD 200. Compare both options in our shipping calculator before you request shipping. Bulky items cost more to ship, so see our guide to volumetric weight too.
Do not deliberately split a single purchase into several shipments just to stay under the limit. Customs authorities may review parcels together and apply their own assessment.
At Send2Hub we help customers in Jordan combine purchases from several British retailers and compare the shipping saving against the customs threshold before anything is sent.
