Austria Proposes €2 Parcel Levy on Low-Value Imports

Austria has proposed a new fixed customs parcel levy of EUR 2 per delivered parcel for low-value imports.
The levy would apply only to high-turnover online vendors with over EUR 100 million in annual revenue from distance sales in Austria.
It targets B2C direct import orders of low-value goods, not click-and-collect purchases.
Online retailers, not customers, would be responsible for collecting and remitting the fee.
The bill is still under review and could take effect on September 30, 2026 if enacted.
