This means that if the goods entering these countries have a value higher than €1000, then duty must be paid. If the established thresholds are exceeded, a duty payment of 15% of the excess will be required from the consignee. 

If you decide to send goods over 1000 €, and you are ready to pay the duty, also take into account the restrictions for Russia below.
