EU imposes €3 tariff on parcels under €150
From 1 July 2026From 1 July 2026, the European Union (EU) will apply a temporary flat tariff of €3 on e-commerce goods valued under €150. The measure primarily affects low-value goods imported into the EU from outside the EU. The €3 tariff applies to goods declared under the IOSS scheme, which covers the vast majority of e-commerce imports.
How the €3 tariff works
Main applicable rules include:
- • Per-category charge: The €3 tariff is not a flat fee per parcel. It is applied per distinct customs commodity code (based on its specific tariff classification) within a single order.
- • IOSS registration: The tariff applies to all goods from non-EU sellers that are registered under the EU VAT IOSS scheme.
- • Separate from handling fees: This fixed tariff is entirely distinct from any national or EU-wide administrative handling charges.
Charging rules
Single & identical goods:
Single item +€3, identical items (no upper limit) +€3
Multiple & different goods:
Single item +€3, different items accumulate +€3 per item
