€3 tariff on European Orders under €150
Starting July 1, 2026, the European Union enforces a flat, interim customs duty of €3 per item type on low-value e-commerce imports (under €150) from non-EU countries. Orders over €150 are unaffected.
Here are the specific, actionable details you need to know about the new EU tariff:
-
Item-Level Charge: The €3 duty is charged per distinct item category (based on HS tariff sub-headings) rather than a flat fee per parcel. If your order contains three completely different item category, you could be charged €3 for each.
-
National Handling Fees: Aside from the overarching €3 customs duty, certain EU member states are implementing additional local customs handling fees on imports, which range from €2 in countries like Italy and France.
-
A proposed €2 handling fee is expected to follow by November 2026, stacking charges to €5 per distinct item category
