- The EU will abolish the EUR 150 customs duty exemption for e-commerce imports from non-EU countries starting in 2026.
- Currently, parcels under EUR 150 are exempt from customs duties but still require VAT and a customs declaration.
- The change aims to create fairer competition between EU-based retailers and non-EU e-commerce sellers.
- This is part of a broader EU Customs Reform affecting how low-value parcels are handled and how duties are collected.
