Shipping
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).
