SUMMARY:EU Customs Reform: Removal of the €150 customs duty-exemption thr
 eshold: transitional flat-rate duty on low-value parcels
DESCRIPTION:Until mid-2026\, parcels worth up to €150 sent to EU consumer
 s from outside the EU were exempt from customs duty (VAT has already been 
 due on them since 2021). Council Regulation (EU) 2026/382 removed that exe
 mption and\, from 1 July 2026\, applies a flat transitional duty of €3 p
 er item to such low-value consignments\, ahead of full ad-valorem tariffs 
 once the EU Customs Data Hub is operational (targeted around mid-2028).\n\
 nWho is affected: Online sellers and marketplaces that ship low-value parc
 els directly to EU consumers from outside the EU\, and the consumers who r
 eceive them\; does not affect goods already inside the EU or ordinary B2B 
 shipments cleared through full customs declarations.\n\nWhat to do: If you
  ship low-value parcels into the EU from outside\, update pricing\, checko
 ut and customs paperwork to account for the €3-per-item flat duty from 1
  July 2026\, and plan for full item-specific tariffs once the Customs Data
  Hub replaces the flat rate (targeted mid-2028). If you use IOSS for VAT\,
  check with your carrier or customs broker on how the new duty is collecte
 d alongside VAT.\n\n\nNote: Council Regulation (EU) 2026/382 (adopted 2026
 -02-11\, OJ 2026-02-18) deletes the customs duty exemption for consignment
 s up to €150 and imposes a transitional flat duty of €3 per item from 
 2026-07-01 until 2028-07-01\, when the EU Customs Data Hub is due to apply
  normal\, item-specific tariffs instead.\n\nStatus: In force\nhttps://eude
