- The EU has approved new customs duty rules for small parcels entering the EU, especially via e-commerce.
- The exemption from customs duties for parcels under €150 will be eliminated.
- From July 1, 2026, a flat rate customs duty of €3 per item category will apply to small parcels valued below €150.
- This interim measure will last until July 1, 2028, or until the new EU customs data hub is operational.
- Once the data hub is live, all goods entering the EU will be subject to customs tariffs, regardless of value.
