Effective February 25, 2021, customs regulations regarding the clearance of online orders addressed to an individual include the following updates:
n Parcels valued at less than 200 Jordanian dinars (JOD) will incur a customs-processing fee of 5 JOD or 10 percent of the parcel value, whichever is greater. No extra taxes or fees will be applied.
n Parcels valued at 200 through 1,000 JOD will require a simplified customs declaration process by the recipient through the Customs Department, and the customs tariff will be applied.
n Parcels valued at more than 1,000 JOD will be subject to an import customs declaration process facilitated by a customs clearance company, and the customs tariff will be applied.
The above provisions exclude any parcel that will have applicable customs tariffs and fees applied and that can be described as follows:

n That contains multiple pieces of the same type and that indicates they are intended for trade.
