- Introduction of National Action Costs Allowance in France: France will implement a national action costs allowance for e-commerce from March 1, 2026, but this development does not warrant a similar initiative in the Netherlands, according to the State Secretary for Finance.
- Monitoring Impact on Dutch Parcel Flows: The Dutch government plans to monitor how the French allowance affects parcel flows into the Netherlands, given France’s significant logistical role in e-commerce shipments to the EU.
- Preference for a European Approach: The Netherlands advocates for a unified European scheme to avoid fragmentation in customs regulations, urging the EU to expedite the implementation of a European handling costs allowance by July 1, 2026, alongside the elimination of the low-value shipment exemption for import duties.
