VAT
Skatteverket
25 % live animals, plants, seed, feed etc. — not food
You will not pay this at the border if your business is VAT-registered in Sweden. You self-assess and deduct import VAT in your VAT return to Skatteverket — typically boxes 50, 60 and 48. The rule applies from 2015-01-01.

Taxable amount = customs value + duty + other taxes and charges levied at import. Private individuals and non-VAT-registered businesses pay import VAT to Tullverket at clearance. VAT on imports (Skatteverket) ›

25 % import VAT collected at the border (if the business is not VAT-registered).
