- The European Commission adopted a delegated act setting an EU-wide handling fee of €2 per small parcel item.
- The fee is intended to cover rising customs administration costs for processing low-value goods under the EU Customs Reform.
- The amount was based on an assessment of member states’ customs costs and the volume of goods valued up to €150 released into free circulation in the EU.
- The act now faces a 30-day objection period by the European Parliament and the Council.
