Important Notice Regarding the Tax Reform in 27 EU Countries Effective July 1, 2026

Dear Valued Customers:
According to the recently passed Regulation (EU) 2026/382 by the Council of the European Union, starting from 00:00 Central European Time on July 1, 2026, the EU will implement a reform on the import tax system for cross-border e-commerce. Goods cleared through customs after the effective date will be subject to corresponding taxes. This announcement aims to inform our customers of the background and operational focus of this tax reform.
I. Key Points of the EU Tax Reform Policy:
1. Elimination of Tariff Exemption Threshold for Low-Value Parcels
The tariff exemption for B2C import parcels valued at €150 and below will be completely eliminated. Upon the regulation taking effect, all goods entering the EU market from non-EU regions must pay customs duties according to the law.
2. Establishment of a Fixed Tax Rate During the Transition Period
A transitional policy will be implemented from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2028. For parcels valued at no more than €150, a fixed customs duty of €3 per category will be applied based on the HS Code classification.
3. Implementation of Independent Customs Clearance per Parcel
Following the system reform, the original simplified batch declaration model will be abolished. The new regulation mandates that all B2C import parcels must undergo "independent customs clearance per parcel" to enhance regulatory transparency.
4. Affected Countries
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.
