🚨 EU low-value imports are changing — is your business ready?
From 1 July 2026, the EU will begin reshaping how low-value shipments are handled—marking the first step toward a fully data-driven customs environment.
What’s changing:
📦 More detailed and standardized customs data will increasingly be required (HS codes, origin, accurate valuation)
💸 A new €3 flat duty per parcel category will apply to goods under €150
🧠 The upcoming EU Customs Data Hub will gradually introduce pre-arrival validation and advanced risk analysis
🛒 Marketplaces will continue expanding their role in compliance and VAT responsibilities
What it means for your business:
⚠️ Greater risk of delays and penalties if shipment data is incomplete or inaccurate
🔗 Need for stronger integration across ERP, OMS, and checkout systems
🤖 Shift from manual processes to automated, data-driven workflows
The upside:
✅ Faster and more predictable customs clearance
✅ Improved customer experience — no unexpected fees at delivery
✅ Scalable, compliant cross-border operations
How to prepare:
✔️ Audit your product and customs data
✔️ Strengthen VAT and HS code handling (including IOSS where relevant)
✔️ Align with experienced logistics and customs partners
✔️ Test and optimize your cross-border workflows
✔️ Train your teams on evolving compliance requirements
