iHerb Shipping to Malta: Delivery, VAT and Customs Guide
Shopping from iHerb in Malta? This guide explains available delivery, VAT and customs arrangements, possible fees, and key import considerations.
This guide explains how iHerb orders are shipped to Malta, including available delivery methods, VAT treatment, customs duties, courier procedures, and restrictions. The information was checked in 2026. Customs, tax, carrier, and delivery conditions may change, so verify current details with iHerb and the relevant Maltese or EU authorities before placing an order.
Delivery options to Malta
Free delivery is available on orders over €100, although carrier and product exclusions may apply. For orders below €100, Standard Delivery through Global Air costs €4.00.
iHerb states that orders are air-freighted directly to Europe from temperature-controlled, GMP/IOSS-certified warehouses in the United States. Estimated delivery times are shown at checkout, but actual transit may be longer because of regional air-freight delays, terminal customs-clearance bottlenecks, or other circumstances outside iHerb’s control.
VAT and customs in Malta
iHerb is registered for the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS), which supports the collection, declaration, and payment of VAT on distance sales of imported goods valued below €150. iHerb says that applicable VAT is already included in product prices.
Some couriers may apply order-value or order-limit caps to support automated customs clearance. Orders close to a tax-free limit may still be assessed duties and taxes if exchange-rate changes cause the value at customs clearance to differ from the value on the order date.
Before importing a product, check with the Malta Customs & Excise Department or the EU Taxation and Customs Union resources to confirm that the item is permitted and whether a licence or permit is required.
The €3 customs duty from July 2026
From July 2026, a €3 customs duty applies to certain goods imported from outside the EU in parcels valued below €150. The duty is calculated per customs product category, not per iHerb product category.
- Several supplements in the same customs product category may incur one €3 duty.
- Products in different customs product categories may incur more than one €3 duty.
- An order containing supplements, skincare, and pet products could incur up to €9 if they fall into three separate customs categories.
iHerb says that, when an order exceeds €10, applicable customs duties are reimbursed through a discretionary discount applied at checkout. Duties may still be displayed for transparency. This arrangement should not be treated as a guarantee of the final customs treatment. If customs duties are applied unintentionally, contact iHerb customer service.
Malta Post: prepaid duties and fees
For Malta Post orders, duties, taxes, and import fees are pre-collected at checkout to help expedite customs clearance. No additional payment is required at delivery according to the shipping reference.

Product restrictions and import checks
iHerb attempts to block prohibited products, but local import regulations can change frequently. Confirm independently that each product you intend to import is allowed in Malta and whether any documentation, licence, or permit is needed. For general contractual information, consult iHerb’s Terms of Use.
Before placing an order
- Review the delivery method and estimated timing shown at checkout.
- Check whether the order qualifies for free delivery and whether any product or carrier exclusion applies.
- Consider the €150 value threshold, exchange-rate movements, and possible customs-category charges.
- Confirm that the products are permitted for import into Malta.
- Review the final VAT, duty, discount, and delivery information before payment.
For the latest carrier, tax, customs, and delivery conditions, consult official iHerb shipping information and the relevant Maltese or EU authority.
