- The EU will introduce two new customs charges in 2026 on small-value B2C e-commerce parcels from outside the EU.
- These charges are temporary measures before 2028 reforms, which will end the €150 customs duty exemption.
- The charges may be paid via the Import One Stop-Shop (IOSS) monthly return.
- A €2 handling charge (from November) and a €3 duty (from July) on goods below €150 could make IOSS less attractive by increasing costs and complexity for compliant imports.
