E-commerce
The EU is preparing to overhaul its customs management system. The main point is to reduce the unfair competitive edge some (typically Asian) e-commerce platforms have over European manufacturers and sellers. As a first step, from July 1, 2026, a EUR 3 customs duty will be introduced on shipments worth below EUR 150 which have been duty-free so far (only local VAT has been mandatory for them).

Starting from 1 July 2021, VAT will apply to all non-EU purchases. The regulation change will have a significant effect on distance sales into the European Union. In order to facilitate the collection, declaration, and payment of VAT under the new regulations, the IOSS scheme was created for sellers as an extension to the already existing MOSS scheme (which applies only to services). If you own an e-commerce business, you should learn about the requirements of the IOSS and update your procedures for the new scheme.
