- From 1 July 2026, online goods valued at €150 or less bought from outside the EU (including Great Britain) will have a new €3 Customs Duty per item, plus VAT.
- The duty applies per distinct item in a parcel; identical items count as one item for charging purposes.
- The charge may be collected at checkout or on delivery, depending on the seller’s terms.
- Returns will be affected: the €3 duty is generally non-refundable, and VAT refunds depend on the seller’s policy.
- Consumers should check where the goods are shipped from and read the website’s terms before buying to avoid unexpected costs or delays.
