EU Customs Changes: What the New €3 Duty Means for Your Shipments

From 1 July 2026, the EU is introducing a flat €3 customs duty on individual items valued under €150, shipped from outside the EU. Crucially, the charge applies per product type within a parcel — not per parcel. Send a package containing a shirt, a phone case and a book, and you're looking at €9 in duty, not €3.

What you need to know:

  • Ship before 1 July 2026 to avoid the new charges on eligible consignments

  • Shipments over €150 are not subject to this flat levy — but will still need to pay standard customs duty rates

  • Private gifts between individuals valued under €45 remain exempt — find out more about customs & VAT

  • Business senders should use Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) at checkout — this settles all duties upfront so your recipient receives their parcel without unexpected charges at the door

For businesses and eCommerce sellers shipping regularly to EU customers, the per-item duty structure means costs can stack up quickly. Using DDP keeps the delivery experience smooth for your customers and reduces the risk of parcels being held at customs due to unpaid charges.

Who pays for international shipping?

There are several ways you can pay for the import fees involved with international shipping, but if you don’t want the person receiving your parcel to have to pay a penny, choose a service that offers Delivery Duties Paid (DDP).

Look out for a banner that says ‘Pre-Pay Delivery Duty Available’ in our booking process and choose one of these services to pay for all international delivery duties up front.

Other ways you can pay for delivery duties are through Delivery Duties Unpaid (DDU) or if you’re a business shipper, you can use Import-One-Stop-Shop (IOSS).

How long does international shipping take?

With a variety of express delivery services for international postage, your parcel could arrive at its destination as soon as the next working day! For example, FedEx Express can get your parcel to the USA within just 1 day.

Whether you’re sending a parcel to Germany or shipping to the USA, you can choose between next day delivery, economy and super economy courier services. Standard shipping is usually between 3-5 days, but will vary depending on your parcel’s destination.

Do I have to pay customs charges for international delivery?

You may have to pay customs and VAT but the amount will depend on the country you're shipping to as well as the value of your parcel and its contents. You can work out exactly how much customs duty and fees you’ll need to pay during the booking process. Get a quote to get started.

For more information, use our International Shipping Hub to find out more about sending gifts abroad and the EU VAT rates for each country.

Will my international postage have tracking?

What Are the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR)?

The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) came into effect on 13 December 2024, introducing updated product safety requirements for goods sold or shipped to the EU and Northern Ireland (NI).

If you're a UK business or online seller sending parcels internationally, the regulations may apply to your shipment. One of the main requirements is appointing a Responsible Person based in the EU or NI to oversee product compliance and safety. Products and packaging may also need to meet updated GPSR labelling requirements before they can be placed on the market.

Checking whether your goods comply with GPSR before booking international delivery can help avoid delays, returns or customs issues.
