How is the 16% General Sales Tax computed on postal parcels exceeding 100 JOD?

Sales tax is calculated at the standard 16% rate on the compound base consisting of the CIF merchandise value plus the applicable statutory customs tariff.

What is the difference in handling fees between Jordan Post and private couriers?

Jordan Post charges modest statutory handling fees around 5 JOD per standard parcel, whereas international commercial couriers (e.g. DHL, Aramex, FedEx) typically charge 15 to 20 JOD in documentation and handling fees.
