In the light of decision 2020/491, the European Commission provides, next to the (temporarily) exemption of VAT for certain medical devices, an exemption of import duties that normally apply for these types of medical aids.

The exemption of import duties applies under the same conditions as described in the previous section: Which VAT rate applies to the supply of medical devices, medicines, etc.?
