- Postal operators from 20 EU countries and other logistics stakeholders asked EU Commissioner Maros Sefcovic to delay the new EUR 3 levy on low-value imports.
- They said the reform is being introduced too quickly and without sufficient implementing guidelines or explanatory notes.
- The signatories requested a postponement of at least six months from the planned July 1, 2026 start date.
- They argued extra time is needed for operators, retailers, and customers to adapt to the new system.
- Although the EU Commission issued official guidelines on June 8, 2026, early संकेतs suggest the postponement request is unlikely to be approved.
