Dear valued customers,
As of 1st of July 2026, the European Union! (EU27) including UK will eliminate the customs duty-free treatment for low-value imports (value not exceeding 150 EUR). In parallel, a new flat customs duty for Business to Consumer (B2C) shipments will be introduced. As a result, customs duty and import VAT charges, now depend on the type of shipment (B2C or B2B) and the clearance process used. These no longer benefit automatically from a low-value (< 150 EUR) exemption. This regulatory change is part of a set of new regulations, part of the EU Customs Reform (EUCR).
* European Union (EU) countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.
WHAT IS MEANT BY DUTY FREE ELIMINATION? – Duty-free elimination means that goods imported into the EU no longer benefit from automatic customs duty relief solely because of their low value (< 150 EUR). For low value (£ 150 EUR) B2C shipments, under the current EU Customs Reform (EUCR) proposal, a 3 EUR customs duty, based on the number of line items (mainly identified per Harmonized System (HS) code and Country of Origin) in the customs declaration. Please see below examples: In case of 10SS shipments?, 3 EUR ms d r line item n 6- digit H: de: + The shipment contains one item, one HS code -> 1 x3 EUR =3 EUR + When the shipment contains multiple items and three different HS codes -> 3 x 3 EUR = 9 EUR + When the shipment contains multiple items all with the same HS code -> 1 x 3 EUR = 3 EUR In case of P&R (Prohibited & Restricted) goods and non-10SS shipments, 3 EUR customs duty per line item based on 10-digit HS code and Country of Origin: + When the shipment contains three items all with the same HS code but all with a different County of Origin -> 3 x 3EUR=9EUR For low value B2B shipments, customs duty is charged based on the applicable EU percentage duty rate, ora preferential rate under a trade agreement, where the relevant conditions are met.
