EU imposes €3 tariff on parcels under €150
From 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
- 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

Examples
| Order contents | Tariff |
|---|---|
| SKU/AME:10001 × 1 | +€3 |
| SKU/AME:10001 × unlimited | +€3 |
| SKU/AME:10001 + SKU/AME:10002 + SKU/AME:10003 | +€9 |
If the amount reaches over €150, the system automatically cancels the €3 tariff and only charges the national import consumption tax.
