New Import Rules for Low-Value Shipments: Additional Customs Charges Apply

New customs rules have introduced additional charges for shipments imported from countries outside the European Union.

For qualifying low-value consignments, businesses should now take into account:

  • additional customs charges,
  • VAT implications,
  • revised import procedures,
  • the overall cost of imported goods.

The changes mainly affect businesses that:

  • purchase goods from non-EU suppliers,
  • import products through online marketplaces,
  • regularly receive small international shipments.

These changes may increase the total cost of imports and require businesses to review their purchasing strategies.

➡️ Important: Before placing an order, verify whether the goods are shipped from within the EU or directly from a non-EU country, as this can significantly affect the final cost.
