Navigating the 2026 EU Customs Reform: The €150 Rule & €3 Flat Duty
On 1 July 2026, the European Union introduced a major shift in customs law: the abolition of the €150 duty-free exemption (de minimis threshold).
Under the old rules, orders under €150 entered the EU duty-free. Today, every single commercial import is subject to customs duties.
The EU has introduced a temporary €3 flat-rate customs duty on low-value items, but the calculation depends on what is in your cart. Here is exactly how it works:
| Order Value | How Duties Are Calculated | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Under €150 | €3 flat-rate duty per product category (HS code) | 5 T-shirts = €3 total · 1 T-shirt + 1 Watch = €6 total |
| Above €150 | Standard ad valorem (percentage-based) duties by product type | Standard EU rates apply: typically 0% to 15%+ |
You don't need to do the math yourself, our system automatically calculates everything at checkout based on the items in your cart.
How Our DDP Service Protects You From Surprise Fees
Without DDP, complex customs rules mean packages can get stuck at local post offices, and customers are forced to pay the €3 flat duty plus an extra carrier handling fee just to receive their parcel.
With our DDP service, you don't have to worry about a thing. Here is what we handle for you:
- Price Includes Tax: Local EU VAT is already built into the price of every item on our site.
- Duty Settled at Checkout: The correct duty (flat-rate or percentage-based) is calculated and fully paid when you check out.
- Zero Surprise Fees on Delivery: The price you see at checkout is the only price you pay. No additional collection fees at the door.
- Express Customs Clearance: We pre-file all digital customs data, HS codes, and product identifiers (PIDs) electronically, so your package clears customs instantly.
