Europe new customs on small parcels
The European Union is preparing to impose a customs duty of 3 euros on small parcels arriving from outside the bloc, starting from a specified date, in order to reduce the import of low-cost Chinese products and to boost European competition. All shipments valued at less than 150 euros will be subject to this fee, thereby replacing the previous exemption that allowed certain parcels to enter without charges. This move comes amid a significant increase in the volume of small shipments arriving in the EU, which reached 5.9 billion parcels in 2025 compared to 1.3 billion in 2022—most of them originating from China through e-commerce platforms.
