Lithuania temporarily suspends simplified customs declarations for low-value parcels

Lithuanian Customs temporarily suspended its simplified low-value parcel declaration service from 1 to 25 November 2026 while maintenance is carried out on the iMDAS client portal. The pause applies to declaration forms IEH615 and IEH715.

The restriction affects only these simplified forms; it does not mean that all customs declaration services are unavailable. For low-value imports, including gifts, Customs directs recipients to use the alternative Import Declaration service IE415 in iMDAS or the services of a customs representative.

This matters for international students, expatriate residents and families expecting parcels from outside the EU who plan to declare goods themselves. The temporary notice is in Lithuanian. The Customs Department’s English guidance explains the usual process for private individuals, but does not describe this temporary switch to IE415. Recipients should check the notice and contact Customs or their delivery operator before submitting a declaration. A customs broker can also handle the declaration.

Where a seller, carrier or platform is already handling customs clearance, recipients should follow its instructions and avoid submitting a duplicate declaration.
