- 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.
