- Romania will introduce a RON 25 (EUR 5) logistics tax on non-EU parcels under EUR 150 shipped to Romanian consumers starting January 1, 2026.
- The tax aims to make non-EU goods more expensive and encourage non-EU companies to register and import in bulk.
- Logistics operators will be responsible for collecting the tax, but there are concerns about their technical readiness.
- The law has been approved by Parliament but still requires presidential ratification and may face legal challenges regarding EU compliance.
- Affected businesses must decide whether to pass the cost to consumers, absorb it, or change their business model.
