Digital Customs Hub beyond ecommerce importers, should begin in 2032 and take approximately three years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The customs reform in the UK<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">After announcing the review of the customs treatment of low-value parcels in April 2025, the UK government revealed its plan to repeal the current duty exemption for low-value consignments by March 2029 in its 2025 Autumn Budget, published in November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Following in the footsteps of the US and the EU, the UK intends to remove the customs duty exception for parcels valued at or under \u00a3135.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The <\/span><a

rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\"><u>consultation paper<\/u><\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> released in November 2025 outlines the proposed reform, including how tariffs should be applied and whether LVIs should be subject to additional fees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The plan should enter into the next phase after March 6, 2026, when the Government stops accepting feedback on the proposed changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The impact of ending the customs duty exemption for low-value goods on the ecommerce industry<\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">The repeal of the de minimums exemption in the US has created a momentum for the EU to speed up the reform of its customs duty rules for low-value items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Hence, the Union\u2019s decision to abolish its \u20ac150 customs duty threshold reflects a global push toward tightening the regulations on low-value imports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">These changes will have a profound impact on international ecommerce sellers as they will likely create logistical and regulatory challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Let\u2019s take a look at how the abolition of the EU\u2019s de minimis rule will impact international sellers on online marketplaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Higher costs for sellers<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">Aside from covering the tariffs on all consignments they ship to consumers in the EU, sellers will also have to include customs and handling fees in their costs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The temporary customs fees will be applied to each item rather than by parcel, which is why businesses importing products into the EU must assess their strategies for multi-product shipments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">From November 2026 onward, the \u20ac2 fixed customs handling fee will be applied to all low-value goods imported into the EU, shipped to shoppers from non-EU countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Alternatively, a handling fee of \u20ac0.50 will be charged for all low-value shipments directed to warehouses in the EU before being sent to buyers.\u00a0During the transitional period, sellers on online marketplaces will also have to include product identifiers on customs declarations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The European Commission is expected to release the simplified tariff structure in early 2026, which should make the duty calculation easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Additionally, the Commission proposed an expansion of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vat-one-stop-shop.ec.europa.eu\/index_en\"><u><span data-color=\"transparent\">Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) system<\/span><\/u><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\">, which simplifies VAT declaration and payment for low-value items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The proposed changes will enable the collection of VAT, tariffs, and the fixed handling fee at checkout, potentially reducing the burden on EU Customs Authorities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Additional compliance requirements for sellers based outside the EU<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">The GPSR has already created <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/gpsr-responsibilities-and-compliance-requirements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\"><u>significant regulatory hurdles<\/u><\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> for international sellers by making it mandatory to provide a long list of documents that prove a product\u2019s compliance with the EU\u2019s product safety regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The repeal of the EU\u2019s de minimis rule will introduce additional administrative requirements that sellers must meet to fulfill orders in EU member states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Besides collecting duties and tariffs, merchants will need to submit invoices, complete customs declarations, and provide transport documentation for each parcel they ship to consumers within the EU. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The increased compliance burden will make it more challenging for international sellers to handle large volumes of orders, and it may affect all aspects of their fulfilment process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Longer delivery times for parcels entering the EU<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">Low-value parcels shipped from outside of the EU are likely to spend more time at the border once the abolishment of the EU\u2019s de minimis rule goes into effect in early 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Relegating millions of packages to the full customs regime will slow down the delivery process since EU Customs Authorities will have to process vast quantities of duty and customs data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Furthermore, parcels with incomplete and incorrect customs declarations may be held for manual customs controls, which would further delay their delivery to consumers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How can online sellers prepare for the end of the European Union&#8217;s \u20ac150 customs duty exemption?<\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">The repeal of the EU\u2019s de minimis rule will create challenges for international sellers who ship large volumes of low-value parcels into the EU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">To avoid potential delays and sales losses, international sellers should prepare for the upcoming changes by reviewing their import and cross-border fulfilment procedures and identifying the items in their inventories that currently rely on the \u20ac150 customs duty exemption to assess how many will become liable to duty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Moreover, sellers should gather information on the country of origin, HS codes, and all other relevant details about the products to determine the tariff bracket for each of their dutiable products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Merchants must also review their Incoterms and decide if they want to make buyers responsible for paying the duties by using the DAP (Delivered at Place) shipping model or switch to the Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Furthermore, sellers should assess how charging duties at checkout affects their pricing strategy and explore storing their inventory in EU-based warehouses if the cost of tariffs significantly increases the prices of their products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Upcoming EU regulations that sellers on online marketplaces should know<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

ramifications for the ecommerce industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">These regulations range from strengthening the bloc\u2019s commitment to sustainable ecommerce to modernizing the VAT collection processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of the most important upcoming EU regulations international sellers on online marketplaces should be aware of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The EU Data Act<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">The core provisions of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eu-data-act.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\"><u>EU Data Act<\/u><\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> took effect in September 2025, giving online merchants increased access to data generated by their products and sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">As a result, merchants can request granular data about customer usage or product performance from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/how-to-build-your-ebay-business-with-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\"><u>eBay<\/u><\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\">, Amazon, and other online marketplace providers in the EU, which can help them make more informed decisions on how to manage their inventory or promote products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">The PPWR was officially adopted into law in February 2025, but its core rules won\u2019t begin to apply until August 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation introduces a series of constraints that online sellers must follow, including the maximum amount of empty space allowed per packaging and the revision of the packaging materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Moreover, merchants will have to create and maintain technical documentation and a Declaration of Conformity for the composition of packaging materials they use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) Package<\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">The EU\u2019s comprehensive legislative package, which aims to modernize the <a href=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/vat-ecommerce-europe-guide\">VAT system<\/a> and prevent fraud, was formally adopted by the Council of the European Union in March 2025 and entered into force in April 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The ViDA Package is comprised of three pillars:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-color=\"transparent\">The digital reporting requirements,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-color=\"transparent\">VAT treatment of the platform economy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-color=\"transparent\">Single VAT registration<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Its implementation will occur in stages, with major milestones scheduled for 2027, 2028, and 2030.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Getting ready for compliance challenges in 2026<\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">The scope of the impact the abolishment of the EU\u2019s de minimis rule will have on the ecommerce industry will reshape global trade \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Still, international sellers can expect longer delivery times for low-value parcels and mounting administrative tasks during the transitional period that starts in early 2026.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">That\u2019s why businesses must audit their inventories to determine how many of their products rely on the \u20ac150 customs duty exemption and gather the information they need to meet the import duty obligations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Most importantly, sellers must decide whether they want to

world\u2019s largest single market.\u00a0 The value of its ecommerce market is projected to grow by 7.24% between 2024 and 2028, making it one of the most attractive destinations in the world for international sellers on online marketplaces.\u00a0 However, the influx of products from third countries has increased the exposure of EU consumers to harmful products.\u00a0 The number of dangerous non-food product alerts registered by the Safety Gate system has increased over the last few years, growing from 3,412 in 2023 to over 4,200 in 2025.\u00a0 At the same time, the volume of low-value parcels entering the EU has skyrocketed since 2023, increasing from 2.3 billion to 4.6 billion in 2024.\u00a0 According to early projections, the number of parcels valued at \u20ac150 or less expected to enter the EU in 2025 will exceed the \u20ac6 billion mark.\u00a0 Consequently, abolishing the EU\u2019s de minimis threshold and introducing the additional temporary customs and handling fees should prevent such a high influx of low-value items into the bloc\u2019s member states.\u00a0 Keep reading to learn more about the end of the EU\u2019s 150-euro customs duty exemption and the upcoming EU regulations that will affect sellers on online marketplaces. Key takeaways A transitional solution will come into effect in early 2026, eliminating the \u20ac150 customs duty exemption for low-value parcels. Starting from July 1, 2026, all low-value parcels entering the EU are subject to a \u20ac3 per line-item fee. Ecommerce platforms must cover the 2-euro parcel processing fee for all packages imported and delivered to consumers from outside the EU.\u00a0As a result, this mandatory handling fee will be charged to marketplace sellers for packages entering the EU from November 1, 2026. The abolishment of the EU\u2019s de minimis exemption won\u2019t affect the core VAT rules.\u00a0 The \u20ac150 exemption will be removed entirely from the law after the rollout of the EU Customs Data Hub in 2028.\u00a0 What is the EU\u2019s de minimis exemption? The de minimis rule for low-value shipments was formalized in 2009, replacing older regulations, to reduce the customs burden and administrative tasks associated with shipping low-value parcels to consumers in the EU from third countries.\u00a0 Similar to the US\u2019s de minimis rule, the EU&#8217;s \u20ac150 customs tariff exemption was intended to expedite the processing and delivery of low-value parcels, thereby eliminating the need for formal customs procedures.\u00a0 This rule was particularly beneficial for direct-to-consumer ecommerce transactions, as it simplified and streamlined cross-border sales.\u00a0 However, the dizzying growth of Temu, Shein, and similar online marketplaces over the last few years has largely contributed to the sharp increase in low-value parcels entering the EU.\u00a0 Over 90% of packages that reached EU borders in 2024 were shipped from China. Furthermore, according to the European Commission\u2019s estimates, more than 65% of those parcels were undervalued or split into multiple packages to stay under the \u20ac150 threshold.\u00a0 Such a state of affairs resulted in an annual loss of revenue of approximately \u20ac1 billion, slowing down the bloc&#8217;s economic growth and creating an uneven playing field as EU-based online businesses struggled to compete with low prices.\u00a0 The end of customs duty exemption forces sellers from outside the EU to increase the prices of the products they offer on online marketplaces in the EU, creating a level playing field for sellers based in member states.\u00a0 The timeline for the EU\u2019s customs reform The abolishment of the de minimis rule for low-value parcels is a part of a broader EU customs reform, the most comprehensive reform of the EU Customs Union since its establishment in 1968.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the overview of the reform\u2019s timeline: The European Commission proposed the reform in May 2023, outlining the timeline of the implementation over the next 15 years.\u00a0 In July 2025, the European Parliament adopted proposals to limit and manage the stark increase in low-value parcels and potentially harmful products arriving in the EU from non-EU online marketplaces and web shops.\u00a0\u00a0 Only two months after the repeal of the de minimis rule in the US, EU lawmakers reached a political agreement to streamline the process and remove the \u20ac150 exemption for low-value items in 2026. The temporary framework for collecting duties was the focal point of the ECOFIN meeting in December 2025.\u00a0 In July 2026, the temporary \u20ac3 customs fee applicable to all parcels entering the EU went into force. The fee will remain in effect until 2028, and the official release of the Digital Customs Hub. At the same time, the EU introduced new product identifier requirements for customs declarations that will remain voluntary until November 1, 2026. A 2-euro handling fee for all parcels entering the EU goes into effect in November 2026 to offset the processing costs borne by the EU&#8217;s customs authorities. After the two-year transitional period, Digital Customs Hub, a major update of the Union Customs Code aimed at handling the growth of the ecommerce industry, will become available in 2028, deeming online marketplaces as importers and making it mandatory to calculate VAT and customs at checkout.\u00a0 The second phase of the reform process, which involves expanding the use of the Digital Customs Hub beyond ecommerce importers, should begin in 2032 and take approximately three years.\u00a0 The customs reform in the UK After announcing the review of the customs treatment of low-value parcels in April 2025, the UK government revealed its plan to repeal the current duty exemption for low-value consignments by March 2029 in its 2025 Autumn Budget, published in November.\u00a0 Following in the footsteps of the US and the EU, the UK intends to remove the customs duty exception for parcels valued at or under \u00a3135.\u00a0 The consultation paper released in November 2025 outlines the proposed reform, including how tariffs should be applied and whether LVIs should be subject to additional fees.\u00a0 The plan should enter into the next phase after March 6, 2026, when the Government stops accepting feedback on the proposed changes.\u00a0 The impact of ending the customs duty exemption for low-value goods<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":389528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9672,9673,9678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-389488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-expanding-to-new-markets","category-international-selling","category-marketplace-trends"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The EU&#039;s de minimis rule repeal and upcoming EU regulations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The EU is ending its 150-euro customs duty exemption for low-value items in 2026.
