What Lithuania imports from outside the European Union, line by line, with the label language, its excise duties and what changes on the next 1 January.
Lithuania is one of the five EU Member States that import most from outside the Union in 238 lines of the 9,579 lines of the Combined Nomenclature with Eurostat data in 2025, and the first in 33. On 1 January 2027 the EU-Mercosur Agreement lowers the duty for Argentina on 103 lines of them.
238lines where it is one of the five EU countries that import most from outside
33where it is first of the 27
€1,871 millionimported from outside the Union in those lines in 2025
The duty, the quota and the rule of origin are the same in all 27 Member States. What changes from one country to another is who buys what, the label language, VAT and excise duties.
What Lithuania imports from outside the Union
The Combined Nomenclature lines where Lithuania is one of the five EU Member States that import most from outside the Union (Eurostat, 2025), by sector of the guides. Each group shows the largest ones; the rest are in the guide or the chapter.
Eurostat counts an import in the country that declares it, which is not always where it is consumed, because the ports of the Netherlands and Belgium receive goods for the whole Union.

We have not loaded which language Lithuania requires yet. It is set by national law, and we only load the ones checked against that law.
Article 15 of Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 says that «mandatory food information shall appear in a language easily understood by the consumers of the Member States where a food is marketed […] the Member States in which a food is marketed may stipulate that the particulars shall be given in one or more languages from among the official languages of the Union».
On top of the duty and VAT, Lithuania charges excise duties on alcohol, tobacco and energy when the goods are released for consumption. The categories are set by EU directives and the amounts by each country. Situation on 1 July 2026, according to TEDB.
