- EU reforms to the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) are stalled due to disagreements over raising or removing the current €150 low-value goods threshold.
- The Commission wants IOSS to cover higher-value imports as part of broader customs reforms, while some member states want a compromise cap instead.
- Austria and Germany warn that expanding IOSS too far could enable VAT fraud through shell entities and unpaid import taxes.
- Some governments suggest a limit around €5,000, but the Commission says any new cap could encourage shipment splitting and undermine the reform.
